Eating foods with probiotics in them will not help to keep you fit. Eating foods with probiotics in them will deposit probiotics in your gut as you digest them. Those probiotics will help keep any bacteria that may be present in the foods you eat from reaching your blood stream. This helps to protect you from gastrointestinal and other illnesses.

Probiotics are microorganisms that block bacteria.

Probiotics work differently than vitamins do. Probiotics are microorganisms that block bacteria in your gut and prevent them from reaching your blood stream and making you sick. Vitamins work in your blood stream and help improve your immune system so you can fight off the bacteria and viruses that enter your blood stream. In my opinion, vitamins and probiotics are equally healthy for you.

From wikipedia.org

At the start of the 20th century, probiotics were thought to beneficially affect the host by improving its intestinal microbial balance, thus inhibiting pathogens and toxin producing bacteria.3 Today, specific health effects are being investigated and documented including alleviation of chronic intestinal inflammatory diseases,4
