About 6 months ago my daughter's pediatrician suggested I give her probiotics because he thought she was fighting off a little tummy bug. Hmmm, probiotics... heard of them, but what are they exactly and what do they do? Off I went to research probiotics. Since then I have been learning more and more about the health benefits. Awareness is on the rise too as it's the new health buzzword.
Here's a short list of some of the health benefits:
- Improved digestion
- Stronger immune system
- Body alkalinity
- Appetite/weight control
- Improved liver function
- Anti-aging
- Improved cell integrity
- Aids in detoxification
- Healthier skin & hair
There are several ways to include probiotics in your diet:
- Supplements in powder or pill form.
- Yogurt - most people already know that yogurt is a good source of probiotics.
- Attune granola bars - they are DE-licious and packed with 5 times the live active cultures of yogurt.
- GoodBelly - these little juice packs are tasty and packed with active probiotics.
- Organic Raw Kombucha - Be warned, the first sip is a little rough. It's definitely an acquired taste. Pretty soon you will crave it though.
