Probiotics

Answers For Your Health Survival Guide - Probiotics: "Remember In War of the Worlds, the invaders were stopped by simple little bacteria that inhabit our bodys with no ill effects. Probiotics are some of those simple little bacteria that live in the intestines and really keep our bodies running in a healthy way.

If you have ever had a round of antibiotics, that completely wiped you clean and probably gave you a good case of diarrhea. Most people know to eat some yogurt when taking an antibiotic just to avoid this.

Probiotics are those little bacteria numbering in the billions that help you live a good healthy life. They help to process food and enhance the absorption of B vitamins. You can end the chronic yeast infection that plagues you by simply starting a daily long term use of probiotics.

Hopefully, you are getting some of these little probiotic gems in your daily yogurt, sour cream, sauerkraut -- basically fermented foods.

However, if you had the bad luck to get a cold or flu that involved diarrhea, you depleted your supply of probiotics. They can live in a healthy gut for 7-10 days, so they do need regular replacement.

If you are on one of those 'diets', that call for excessive bowel movements, you are certainly depleting your supply of health bacteria.

Joke of the day!!
PRICELESS

Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his company's
Christmas Party. Jack is not normally a drinker, but the drinks
didn't taste like alcohol at all. He didn't even remember how he
got home from the party. As bad as he was feeling, he wondered
if he did something wrong. Jack had to force himself to open his
eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a
glass of water on the side table.

And, next to them, a single red rose!

Jack sits up and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and
pressed.

He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order,
spotlessly clean.

So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins, cringes when
he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom
mirror.

Then he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror
written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his
wife in lipstick!:

"Honey, breakfast is on the stove. I left early to go get groceries
to make you your favorite dinner tonight. love you, darling! Love,
Jillian

He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast,
steaming hot coffee, and the morning newspaper.

His son is also at the table, eating.

Jack asks, "Son... what happened last night?"

"Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and out of your mind.
You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked in
the hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door."

Confused he asked his son, "So, why is everything in such perfect
order, so clean, I have a rose, and breakfast is on the table
waiting for me?"

His son replies, "Oh THAT!... Mom dragged you to the bedroom,
and when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, "Leave
me alone, lady, I'm married!

Broken Coffee Table $239.00

Hot Breakfast $14.20

Saying the right thing, at the right time . . . Priceless
