Let's get real for a moment and talk about our health!
Do you ever just feel... blah? I know I do, and for good reasoning. As moms, we take a lot onto our plates. No, not our actual plates, but those metaphorical ones that we are constantly juggling. We're constantly on the move, taking care of children, taking care of the home, taking care of our husbands... taking care of everyone but ourselves. All the running (and if you're like me, worrying) can seriously take its toll on your body... but what can we do to improve our health?
The addition of a probiotic can help!
You've probably heard people talk about probiotics in the past, but...what are they?
Per WebMD, probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for your health, especially your digestive system. We usually think of bacteria as something that causes diseases. But your body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called "good" or "helpful" bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy. When you lose "good" bacteria in your body (like after you take antibiotics, for example), probiotics can help replace them. They can help balance your "good" and "bad" bacteria to keep your body working like it should.
Now, we know what they are, but who needs them? What conditions can the aid in?
We mostly think of conditions of the stomach when we think of probiotics--- irritable bowel, diarrhea, issues stemming from use of antibiotics. But these bad bacterias in our body can cause other issues such as:
- Acne, Eczema, Skin and Foot Problems
- Allergies and Chronic Food Sensitivities (such as Lactose Intolerance)
- Bad Breath and Gum Disease
- Chronic / Unexplained Fatigue
- Chronic Yeast problems; Candida Albican overgrowth
- Difficulty losing weight
- Faulty digestion / Acid Reflux Disease
- Frequent colds, flu, and infections
- Frequent constipation and diarrhea
- Joint pain or inflammation
- Peptic Ulcers
- Poor sleep patterns / nightmares
- Extreme menstrual or menopausal symptoms
Now, that we know what they are and who they might benefit--- which probiotics should we try?
There are many great products on the market but not all products are created equal. Today, I'm excited to introduce you to the award-winning Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics®.
Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics® is an all-natural, SUPERIOR PRO-BIOTIC developed to support digestive comfort, nutrient absorption and a healthy immune system. Unlike most other probiotic products, Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics are not cultured or grown in a laboratory. Ingredients such as mountain spring water, fruits, and vegetables are fermented for three years with 12 distinctive probiotic strains. This rich culture medium (PRE-BIOTICS) is then encapsulated along with the probiotics that have grown together over the three-year period, and the resulting nutrients from this fermentation process (POST-BIOTICS). This allows the supplements to deliver viable probiotics and that encourage your body’s innate ability to grow its own friendly bacteria.
But the real question I know that you want to know is--- does it work?
I was given the chance to try out these great probiotics (and more), and I have to say that yes, I did see some improvement. I'm not saying that it was a miracle cure for everything that ailed me. Many of my health issues have another known cause, but I did find some relief, and that is definitely something! In combination with a healthy diet, this truly can make a difference in how we feel in our day to day. And as moms, we need that. We need to do this simple little thing that will help us to feel better not just for ourselves, but for our children too.
