How to Add Probiotics for Digestive Health
From TV commercials to conversations with friends, someone has probably told you to add probiotics. At Weight Success Centers, patients often ask exactly how to incorporate probiotic foods or supplements into a healthy diet. Here are ways to get started on strengthening your digestive health.
1. EAT Beneficial Foods to Improve Gut Health
Many beneficial foods for digestive health will include probiotics, which consist of strains of good bacteria to improve gut health. The probiotic food many of us know and love is thick and creamy yogurt.
Check the packaging of your favorite Greek yogurt or a low-fat yogurt brand for a list of live and active cultures, such as Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Bifidobacterium.

In addition to yogurt, experts may suggest you add beneficial foods like seasoned sauerkraut or Kimchi to a meal for flavor and digestive benefits. Depending on your tastes, these fermented foods packing probiotic power usually consist of shredded cabbage, salt, and spices.
2. DRINK Beverages to Boost Good Bacteria
Remember, both good and bad bacteria live in or travel through your digestive tract. The gut serves as a central command for the immune system. So, why not try drinking your way to greater immunity?

Probiotic beverages could help boost good bacteria to win the fight against bad bacteria. Kombucha tea, for example, is a great probiotic drink produced through fermentation. You may find it sweetened as black or green tea in a bottle. It is low-calorie and loaded with nutrients.
For another fermented beverage option – try Water Kefir, which is usually combined with sugar water or fruit juice. Coconut Water Kefir, for example, is a tasty and fizzy drink to help increase good bacteria.
3. Try a Daily Probiotic SUPPPLEMENT
Additionally, physicians recommend choosing a high-quality probiotic supplement to help balance bacteria in the body. Good options include the probiotic products available at Weight Success Centers.
Stress, travel, sleep issues, or a diet lacking in nutrients can all throw our digestive health off balance. It may help to add a daily supplement to promote better balance and regularity. Multi-strain formulations of supplements have various amounts and types of good bacteria. Our experts can explain how different strains are helpful for different goals to strengthen digestion, urinary health, or female health.
As with any supplement, program, or medical treatment – results and benefits will vary depending on each individual person. Consult with a physician at Weight Success Centers to determine diet plans and supplements for your individual needs.
