"The New Year is a time when many take a fresh look at their lives, an
inventory of past action and inaction and choose areas where they wish
to make a change, presumably for the better," says Michael Shahani,
Director of Operations of Nebraska Cultures - one of the first
manufacturers to offer probiotic ingredients to the natural products
industry. "Starting with a review of your personal health regimen is
always a great way to begin. People are much more savvy these days
when it comes to the importance of diet and exercise to one's
health, but there's still much misinformation out there."
To ensure you're armed with knowledge, he offers up these tips:
DETOX SAFELY Whether it's via fasting or colonics, de-junking your
insides can also inadvertently purge much-needed nutrients. To ensure
you're not losing the good with the bad, Shahani advises following
your detox with an appropriate course of nutritionally-stable
probiotics.
NO FAD DIETING There is only one healthy way to shed extra body fat:
use up more calories than you take in and eat a clean and healthy
diet; together they rev up your metabolism and increase your energy.
However, you didn't gain the weight in a day and it will take more
than a day to lose it - meaning no fad dieting. "Drastic diets can
harm your body and digestive tract, depleting your body of essential
nutrients," warns Shahani. "By keeping a well-balanced and realistic
diet, the frustrations of weight loss (including the digestive issues
that fad diets promote) will slowly but surely disappear for good -
along with the pounds!"
SLOW & STEADY Losing weight too quickly will send your body into panic
mode. By losing slowly at a pace it can "understand", you will do
yourself a world of good - including decreasing your cholesterol an
average of three points for every two pounds you lose.
NURTURE YOUR INNER GARDEN The key to vibrant health - everything from
your weight to your complexion - starts with your gut flora. However,
a single course of antibiotics can disrupt the internal balance for up
to two years! To replenish and rebalance, be sure to add probiotics -
like L. acidophilus DDS1 - to your daily vitamin regimen (and if you
shun the sun, be sure you're supplementing with enough Vitamin D).
"It's hard to feel your best when you're not conditioning your inside
as well," notes Shahani. "Digestive roadblocks can cause unwanted side
effects like feeling constipated or bloated if you're not eating
enough of the right foods to produce healthy bacteria. Supplementing
with probiotics can aid any exercise routine helping you to feel just
as strong as you look."
KEEP YOUR PROBIOTICS ON ICE The best tools only work effectively if
they're cared for properly - which includes your probiotics. "Keep
them cool and dry so they will be alive when they get into your body.
For best results and for long-term storage, most probiotics need to be
kept refrigerated."
MAKE IT ABOUT YOUR OVERALL WELLBEING "Caring for your health is not
only a smart move for your body, but also for your well-being," adds
Shahani. "By eating right, staying active, and taking your probiotics
regularly, you're giving your body the care and attention it deserves,
plus a little extra love!"
