Probiotics

Here goes my first post!

I decided to make it all about probiotics.  I was first introduced to probiotics by my Aunt Karen.  They are so important to our health and EVERYONE should take them regularly.  Sometimes we get sick and have to take an antibiotic to get rid of the bad bacteria.  But those antibiotics often remove the good bacteria that our bodies need as well!  Foods which come from animals that may have been given antibiotics may remove some of the good bacteria in our bodies too.  It's so important to replace those good bacteria and ensure that our body is constantly replenished with the bacteria that we need.

Probiotics keep our gastrointestinal system healthy by maintaining the good bacteria that we need to keep the system functioning well.  Our gastrointestinal system is very connected to our immune system, so probiotics strengthen our immune system as well.

Most people who take probiotics claim to feel a positive difference(s) afterwards - sick less often, less/no constipation, more energy, etc.

There are tons of probiotics out there, especially now since it's almost becoming a new (healthy) trend.  Do your research and see which is best for you.  I take Jarrow Formula probiotics.

 

Sometimes I take a capsule with a full glass of water (on an empty stomach is recommended), but I also started making my own smoothies/juices lately and I empty 1 or 2 capsules into it before blending.

Most yogurts (including frozen yogurt) have probiotics in them, but be careful because most yogurts also contain a ton of sugar, sometimes as much as a candy bar!  It's much better to take probiotic capsules instead of relying on yogurt.


Hope this was helpful and informative!  Thanks for reading and God Bless!
