The Buzz on Probiotics

Dan Active

PROBIOTICS have been getting a lot of BUZZ lately... they are suddenly being added to our yogurt, granola, and multi-vitamins. Literally probiotics are bacteria that are naturally found in our intestines to help with digestion and immunity. These bacteria protect our digestive tract lining by displacing harmful disease carrying particles.

Robb Wolf author of The Paleo Solution humorously writes, "I could write a book on probiotics along, and the title would be amazing: Bacteria, Poop, and You: How Beneficial Bacteria Can Make You Healthier and Look Great in a Bikini. Seriously though, probiotics are massively underrated and are just now receiving the research focus they deserve."

So how do we get these PROBIOTICS?

1. You can find probiotics naturally in fermented foods: yogurt, kiefer, miso, kimchi, and raw sauerkraut.

• Check out The Conscious Life for more information on these sources of probiotics. 
• Best Probiotic Products listed the top 10 rated probiotic sources found at the grocery store: Nutraelle Digestive Care, Align, Florastor, Yakult, Culturelle, Dannon Activia, Renew Life Ultimate Flora, Jarro Dophilus EPS, Kashi Vive Cereal, and Garden Primal Defense

2. Probiotic supplements such as Jarro-Dophilus or New Chapter

Remember that anything containing probiotics, or LIVE CULTURES, needs to be REFRIGERATED!
