LET'S TAKE SHOTS... of probiotics!!
This week we're discussing your mom and your doctor's favorite health trend: probiotics.
First, let's define what probiotics actually are and why they are good for you.
About 70% of the body's immune system is connected to the digestive tract. That means it is so important to have a healthy digestive system as it is essential to maintaining good health.
healthy digestive tract = good immune system = better overall health
Probiotics are one way to ensure a healthy digestive system. They are live, friendly cultures that help maintain a healthy balance in the digestive system by adding good bacteria to your gut.
Most people get their probiotics from yogurt. But if you're like me and you're not a big dairy fan, we need to find some other options to reap the benefits of probiotics.
One probiotic product that I started using is called GoodBelly. The name itself is exciting. Um hi hello I want a good belly! I was super excited to start this. I went to the store and bought their pack of "Super Shots" in the blueberry acai flavor. The little shots are super cute and really easy to take. The top of it is a little face (little weird, but fun) and it almost feels like you're giving it a kiss when you drink out of it. The best part of the shots is they have 50 billion probiotic cultures in one serving. Damn okay.
As I continued my GoodBelly endeavor, I started trying out different flavors and different products. They sell a juice drink that comes in what looks like a smaller milk container. These seemed more practical than the shots because they lasted longer. The Pomegranate, Mango, and Tropical Green flavors are all super yummy! I hated the Vanilla Chamomile and the Cranberry Watermelon was relatively hard to choke down. I also decided I would try the Probiotic Supplement that way I could just pop a pill every morning, and yeah it was super easy but I missed the juice.
If I'm being honest, I've had my fair share of stomach pains. My stomach would feel uneasy after eating certain types of food, I'd usually wake up super bloated, and having to take tums was pretty much a regular occurrence. Since I've started taking probiotics, I not only wake up with a non-bloated stomach but I literally have not taken tums since. All the additional health benefits are amazing, but honestly, I'm just happy my belly feels good.
Your belly can feel good too!
Whether you want to try out GoodBelly or another product, probiotics are a great addition to your normal diet.
be happy, feel good, and LIVE NAUTI
