Probiotics and Your Health

"Its all about Probiotics"

My customers, at Kroger are always asking the following question...”what are Probiotics and how can I get them”? I have ”utilized” my many ”connections” and this is probably the best way to understand how much our digestive systems depend on ”good bacteria” and the foods that promote and contain ”health benefits”.(also called ”friendly bacteria”).

Some examples are” Lifeway Kefir, Good Belly, Sauerkraut” (and other fermented veggies), ”cultured dairy products”..(buttermilk, cottage cheese, Greek Yogurt)...just to name a few of them...there are more! Soy Products-Tempe and Miso...

Instead of taking so many supplements, try eating or drinking your Probiotics...make smoothies, your own way! Look for flavors such as mango, pom, blackberry, Green drinks..Use honey (Locally grown, raw, and unfiltered) or Agave and flax seeds, chia seeds(Super foods)..Have fun and enjoy making your body feel good again!
