November 23rd, 2011

Sauerkraut is the Original Probiotic Superfood

October 14th, 2011

With the advent of refrigeration and airline flights, getting and storing fresh vegetables year round is not something most people have to be concerned about.

Prebiotics and Probiotics bring health

September 19th, 2011

Probiotics are friendly bacteria that live in your digestive tract and essentially influence every aspect of health, from neurotransmitter production to immunity to digestion. But these beneficial little microflora must eat in order to survive and thrive. What is their food of choice? Prebiotics!

What Are Prebiotics?

Donna Gates, author of The Body Ecology Diet, explains: “Prebiotics are derived from insoluble fiber and fructooligosaccharides or FOS (carbohydrate molecules made up of a relatively small number of simple sugars).”

These prebiotics are the ideal nourishment for beneficial bacteria living in the digestive tract. By feeding them well, you give friendly microorganisms the chance to establish a viable population that can not only perform important tasks in the digestive system, but also keep pathogenic bacteria like yeast under control.

Probiotics in pregnancy prove beneficial for both mom and baby

June 17th, 2011

Probiotics are fast becoming a popular word in today’s health and nutrition. From yogurt to natural pizza crusts, probiotics are increasingly common in food sources and all people benefit from their consumption. Recent research shows that probiotics are not only safe for pregnant women, but also extremely beneficial both to mom and baby.

Probiotics are live microorganisms, or good bacteria, and by the millions they live naturally in the intestines. They are introduced to our bodies during birth and without them we would be prone to infection, vitamin and mineral deficiencies and weakened immune systems. When the gut is heavily populated with healthy bacteria, it prevents the growth of aggressive bacteria from food-borne illnesses, such as salmonella, and protects us from infection.
