Yogurt and Probiotics

A huge part of LifeStyle Living is about being as healthy as we can be so we can do what ever it is that we want to do.  How can we do things we want to do if we do not have the health we need to do anything?  Whatever it is, like sky diving, cliff jumping, bungee jumping...   All the normal things we want to do.  Okay, all jokes aside, how about taking walks in the park, going to the gym to attend that yoga class, or just spending the day walking around the city or the mall.

So I thought writing something about Yogurt.  Yogurt is known to have many health benefits.  Just look at what I found on Wikipedia below.

People have been making—and eating—yogurt for at least 5,400 years. Today it is a common food item throughout the world. A nutritious food with unique health benefits, it is rich in protein, calcium, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12.

Also, Yogurt contains Probiotics. 
Probiotics are live microorganisms thought to be healthy for the host organism. According to the currently adopted definition by FAO/WHO, probiotics are: "Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host".[1] Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and bifidobacteria are the most common types of microbes used as probiotics; but certain yeasts and bacilli may also be helpful. Probiotics are commonly consumed as part of fermented foods with specially added active live cultures; such as in yogurt, soy yogurt, or as dietary supplements.

So probiotics is good for you especially for intestinal health. If you don't have time to eat delicious yogurt, conveniently you can take supplemental probiotic capsules. Mannatech, Inc. created a product called GI-Pro®. GI for Gastrointestinal and Pro for Probiotics.

The GI-Pro® product includes healthful bacteria, known as “probiotics,” as well as fiber, designed to support the health and balance of your intestinal tract.*  It includes the “right” bacteria to help support the delicate balance that exists among these bacteria for a healthy intestine. This balance can cause an overall beneficial effect to take place among the various healthful microflora that live in human intestine.*  And about 70% of your immune system is located in your digestive tract, and your body relies on a wide variety of bacteria and other microorganisms to help keep it running smoothly.  Probiotics help break down food and process waste.

Whether you want to eat yogurt or supplement your probiotics, you have choices. But you gotta take them for them to benefit you. You can find delicious yogurt in the grocery or your favorite yogurt shops.  If you want a supplemental capsules, you can order through Mannatech.  Click the Link Below.
