Answer:

One way in which bacteria are helpful in our day-to-day lives is the bacteria present in our stomachs which help us digest certain types of food and some chemical compounds inside of some food items. Without these bacteria, some compounds in food would not be able to be broken down and would in turn either poison or harm us in some way.
