How to Use Yogurt With Good Bacteria Probiotics

Steps

  1. Shift the balance of bacteria back to a healthier status that supports the immune system based upon our gastrointestinal tract naturally playing host to a variety of bacteria which may be off balance.
  2. Consume required “active, beneficial bacteria” (called probiotics) in yogurt (meaning selected, living microorganisms) in your diet. This can help your gastrointestinal system which may have decreased levels of such bacteria often killed by antibiotics or off balance for various reasons, such as poor nutrition.
  3. Be aware that most yogurt sold at the grocery store is pasturized and does not contain an active yogurt culture.
  4. Get the kinds of yogurt which are sold as helping to regulate digestion and that say that they do have the active cultures (good bacteria).
  5. Check the various brands of active yogurt because some have different kinds of cultured probiotic bacteria. Consuming several different kinds from time to time may help maintain their balance.
  6. See research that suggests that one of the powerful probiotic bugs — called Lactobacillus casei (L. casei) — in yogurt and as an allergy fighter may decrease imbalances of the body’s levels of hystamines, including to balance immune substances involved in seasonal allergies and do absolutely help with digestion.
  7. Use natural yogurt with active “good bacteria” in many ways in sufficient numbers to get benefits:
    • Top yogurt with cereal for breakfast.
    • Use it rather than milk in cereal.
    • Add fresh fruit.
    • Try a little swirl of honey, preserves, jelly, etc. not refined sugars.
    • Eat it as a dessert.
    • Eat it as a snack.
    • Drink yogurt as a beverage.
    • Substitute unsweetened natural yogurt for sour cream such as for baked potatoes.
  8. Read about fewer sniffles and “achoos” as people who suffer from allergies, apparently have these bacteria levels off balance.
  • That’s what a recent small study suggests. Seasonal allergy sufferers in the study consumed either a probiotic-fortified dairy drink or a placebo drink for 5 months. And at the end of the study, those who had knocked back the L. casei drinks showed lower levels of immune substances that contribute to allergies.
  • “By the age of 2 years, 35% of children in a study have developed allergic eczema, a condition in which the skin becomes irritated, red and itchy. But children who had received probiotics were half as likely to develop the skin condition. This cut in eczema risk is the most spectacular, single result to come out of studies on preventing allergic disease. Exactly why friendly gut bacteria might protect against allergies is unclear, but the effect may be an extension of the hygiene hypothesis. This hypothesis holds that the worldwide growth in allergic disease is in part due to our increasingly sterile surroundings. When babies are exposed to germs early on, some experts suggest, their immune systems are steered toward infection-fighting mode — and away from the tendency to overreact to normally benign substances. Support for this idea comes from studies showing that infants who have more colds and other infections have lower asthma rates later in life. The results of this study suggest that intestine-dwelling bacteria may also play an important role in pushing the immune system away from allergic reactions.
  • Consider topical (external) applications such as Remove Blackheads With Oatmeal and Yogurt and other uses on the skin.
  • Have fun with finger paint made of yogurt and “cake color” which is super-messy, non-harmful but actually edible for small children and wash out.

Tips

  • Alas, yogurt probiotics are largely killed, being exposed to stomach acids. Timed-delayed-release, good bacteria are available in special capsules and coated tablets. Consider using such supplements for a couple months to get the digestive tract better balanced.
  • There are supplements of whole-plant blue-green algae such as alphanizomenon (these natural flora, often, may be harvested from certain cold-water lakes in mountains such as Klamath Lake, Oregon at an elevation of 4140 ft (1262 m) with high mineral water), and try Spirulina (Spirulina platensis). Plus, you can try a special, sweet fiber named FOS (fructo.oligo.saccharides) called a prebiotic (is able to support good bacteria). This fiber digests in the large intestines, and so it nourishes and encourages the probiotics — and together with the good bacteria can do much to flip your digestive tract into good shape.
  • Whatever you do, don’t ignore sneezes, itchy eyes, and a runny nose. If you have allergies, it’s best to nip your symptoms in the bud so they don’t turn into something more serious — like asthma or a sinus infection.
  • One source of information on good bacteria is from “microbiologist Gloria Solano-Aguilar, with the ARS (Agricultural Research Service) USDA, Nutrient Requirements and Functions Laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland, has been leading the effort to study the effects of dietary probiotics on the immune system and gastrointestinal function, with funding from Nestlé Nutrition, Glendale, California. The laboratory is part of the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center. She presented some of her findings during a session on allergy, rheumatology, and immunology at the Pediatrics Academy Societies’ 2006 annual conference. Solano-Aguilar tested the effect of the probiotic strain Bifidobacterium lactis (Bb 12; from Chr. Hansen, Denmark) on maturation and stimulation of the immune systems of piglets. Bb 12 is a beneficial bacterial strain commonly used in probiotic products available to U.S. consumers and in baby products overseas.”

Warnings

  • Eating yogurt may help, but a comprehensive allergy-assessment and treatment plan laid out by your doctor is suggested.

How Can I Get Fit and Lose More Fat?

Without a doubt you can find many different types of diet that will promise you the earth but not deliver.

And the chances are that if your looking at this page then you have already tried to lose fat but for one reason or another – it has not gone the way you’d have liked it to have gone.

Now it doesn’t matter what diet you have tried in the past – or even if this is the first time you have wanted to lose some excess fat – There are a whole host of things you need to know about why some diets just won’t work.

Lets have a look at some of the most common diets around and see how they compare

Low Calorie Diets

Low calorie diets are supposed to work by artificially cutting down the amount of ‘fuel’ your body gets in the form of food. It sounds good in practice – after all the body will store a lot of the excess foods we eat as fat.

Yet the thing that so many people forget is the simple fact that our bodies are hugely adaptive. If you stop giving your body the nutrients it craves it will adapt and start to guard the fat reserves it has as a protective measure. So the bottom line is that you can never lose only fat by deliberately starving yourself.

Low Fat Diets

These have been popular for the last few decades and it seems a new version of something very similar comes out each month. Yet when you look at what they say – it’s like the ‘experts’ are just recycling the same old tosh except with more glitz and gleam.

But, if Low Fat Diets are so good – then why are clothing manufactures having to increase the the ‘average size’ in there range of cloths? And why are health providers having to spend more on obesity related illnesses?

The short answer is that low fat diets don’t work anywhere near as well as their promoters would have you believe. If they did work – people would not keep getting fatter and fatter.

What about Weight Watchers?

I have got a lot of time for Weight Watchers as the idea behind some of what they do is quite sound in many ways – particularly the part where they make you accountable for “being good” during your week when you have your weight recorded during the weekly weigh-ins.

They obviously promote a much slower form of weight loss (which is good) and you can’t deny that for some people Weight Watchers will indeed work – how permanent weight loss is is difficult to say.

Delivered Diet Meals

A more recent form of dieting is one where you have a box of ‘diet’ meals delivered to your door on a regular basis. Again, this sounds like a good idea as you have someone – like a nutritionist design a meal plan, the meals are then made under strict food preparation standard in a commercial kitchen or factory and delivered to your door for you to heat up and eat.

However, you don’t have any control over what ingredients are used in the meals and with some – you still have to add in your own vegetables and so on.

They can prove to be very expensive too.

So those are just some of the contenders in what you could consider as choices for a way to lose fat.

But before we go any further we need to tackle something head on …

Why Has Your Weight Become a Problem?

Firstly, if you’re like me then you have a friend who can eat exactly the same amount as you do and maybe even more, yet not seem to put on an ounce of excess.

The main thing that should tell us is that we are all individuals and as individuals we need to eat the foods that are best suited to us as a unique person.

Customs, habits and traditions of the societies that we live in have encouraged us to eat particular types of foods in certain ways and at particular times of day. And simply put, the foods eaten, preparation methods and the traditional meal times may not be ideally suited to the way OUR bodies work as an individual.

As an example, eating a big meal late in the evening has got to be totally daft. After all, you’re filling your body up with “fuel” yet not giving yourself the opportunity to burn that fuel by doing anything more strenuous than sitting around for a while and then sleeping.

The Three Keys to Successful Fat Loss

The three keys to successful fat lose are…

  • Finding out which foods YOUR body needs as an individual
  • Determining what is  the best time for YOU to eat them
  • And understanding exactly what quantity of food you should eat

Obviously, that’s a little simplified and each point can be more fully refined – but it does give you the main points to consider

Now we’ve understood this we can see why low-calorie diets don’t work.

The body will simply adapt to burning fewer calories each day and produce hormones that will encourage the body to not only hold on to the fat that it has already – but also increased the amount of fat that is being stored day by day .

Whilst there is an apparent weight loss, the simple fact is these that you will be losing muscle fibre instead of fat. The net effect of these diets is that you are left feeling weak and feeble and get no where near the amount of fat loss you might be expecting.

By the same token, low-fat diets will be equally as ineffective.  But here the reason is slightly different.  It is assumed that fats are bad because they provide too many calories.

Added to that is the scary bit that says that the bad fats you eat will eventually end up blocking up your arteries. Yet what is often forgotten is that our bodies require specific nutrients that only fats can provide. Particularly animal fats! (sorry vegetarians).

The only thing our bodies can do in an attempt to obtain  satisfactory amount of those nutrients is to encourage us (through the feeling of hunger) into eating more. But obviously, in so doing we will  consume a vast amount of stuff we don’t really need just to get what our body requires. And the excess will in many cases be stored as fat. And even then, the body may still lack the things it requires for good health.

What About Low Carb Diets?

Actually, when done properly (and the emphasis is on the word properly) low carb diets can be some of the most effective ways of losing fat. But they’re not without their problems.

The simple fact is, is that there are a small proportion of the general population (about 3%) for whom a strict low carb diet is not ideal. That’s purely down to the way their metabolism works — don’t forget everybody is an individual. But for the rest of us low carb diets can be very good indeed.

That said, some people find low carb diet quite restrictive – particularly in the early stages. Which is one reason why a number people find them difficult to get on with – which is a shame in many ways because they work.

Some people also find eating out on a low carb diet is a bit of a challenge and while that’s true, it’s not necessarily something that can’t be overcome with a bit of planning.

So we have spent the last few minutes looking at what doesn’t work so perhaps now is a good time to find out about what does work and why.

What a Good Diet Needs to Have

Obviously we need to overcome the problems that are inherent in the diets we’ve already looked at. What we need is something…

  • That doesn’t starve the body
  • Provides an adequate level of nutrients
  • Has a range of foods that are interesting to eat and tasty too
  • That helps the body to burn fat
  • That gives us plenty of energy
  • That is easy to deal with when we eat out
  • And gives us the results we want

It’s at this point that many people would say well you might need to use drugs or supplements or something like that to get these type of results. And strangely enough, they’re almost right.

But it not something made in a laboratory that will do the job though.

In the same way that the body can be encouraged to produce fat storing hormones by say, starving it — it can also be encouraged to produce fat burning hormones by giving it the food it needs.

And once you know how the body works then getting your body to do this is actually quite simple.

Here are Three Things You Need To Do …

  • Give your body the right type of foods – ones that it finds satisfying
  • Feed your body when it needs that nourishment
  • Reduce the foods that will interfere with process of losing fat

Food is meant to be enjoyed, it’s not meant to be your enemy. And by eating the right foods in the right way you can not only enjoy the food you eat but also use that food to help you lose weight once and for all.

Rather than fight your body into submission. (A battle you can’t win by the way) It’s obviously better to work with your body to accomplish the same ends – I.E. getting fit and slim.

It really is a question of getting to know how YOUR body works and then using that knowledge – along with a range of useful and effective techniques – to magnify the effects of what eating good food will do for you.

The things you will learn by following The Snack Box Diet will help you do just that.

How diet soda can sabotage your diet

Soda Researchers are divided over whether diet soda helps people lose weight. Swapping sugary drinks for diet drinks may condition the body to expect calories, which makes people feel hungrier. “Normally, things that taste sweet are followed by sugar and calories,” Susan Swithers, a professor of psychological sciences and a behavioral neuroscientist at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind. who has reviewed studies on diet soda . “But the body produces physiological responses — increasing metabolism and releasing hormones — to anticipate the arrival of sugar and calories,” she says.

That, Swithers says, can become a problem for diet soda fanatics. Diet drinks interfere with this “predictable relationship,” meaning the body can’t predict the calorie intake when real sugars are consumed. “Physiological responses become blunted,” she says, and that may lead to a host of other problems too. “The loss of these responses could contribute to excess food intake, weight gain, high blood pressure and over time outcomes like diabetes and cardiovascular disease,” Swithers says. In fact, she says Bloomberg’s soda ban should have been extended to artificially sweetened drinks too.

In one study, individuals who consumed more than three artificially sweetened drinks a day experienced a doubling of their incidence of overweight/obesity over the next 7 to 8 years, compared with those who had consumed none, according to a study published in the August 2008 edition of “ Obesity .” “The more they drank them, the more their waist circumference increased,” says Sharon Fowler, the primary author of the study and specialist in the department of medicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.

While these results show an association or correlation rather than causation, Fowler says there may be physiological and psychological issues at play. One theory: Drinking artificial sweeteners may cause the body to store more calories in fat cells and also induce hunger, she says. “Studies have shown if animals are fed artificial sweeteners they gain more weight and have more disruption than metabolic imbalance,” she says. “No calories and no consequences is very naive. Diet soda consumption in the U.S. is a major uncontrolled experiment.” She says Bloomberg naively targeted only sugary drinks. Continue reading

High-sugar diet can be deadly

Sugar Many sugar-laden foods and beverages provide significant calories, which can lead to weight gain. And a high-sugar diet causes tooth decay.

Why Mediterranean diet is healthy

IMG_2360The combination of olive oil and leafy salad or vegetables is what gives the Mediterranean diet its healthy edge, say scientists.

When these two food groups come together they form nitro fatty acids which lower blood pressure, they told PNAS journal.

The unsaturated fat in olive oil joins forces with the nitrite in the vegetables, the study of mice suggests.
