Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Yogurt is crawling with bacteria -- and the more of it you eat, the better. Be sure to buy yogurt with a seal that guarantees it has live, active cultures. These cultures -- especially acidophilus and bifida -- colonize the lower intestines with beneficial bacteria while muscling out disease-causing bacteria. Eating yogurt may help prevent diarrhea in people taking antibiotics. Yogurt is easy to digest, especially for those who are lactose-intolerant, and is an excellent source of calcium, protein, riboflavin (a B vitamin), vitamin B-12 (which may be low in vegetarian diets) and vitamin A. To avoid unwanted saturated fat, choose nonfat or low-fat yogurt. Three Veggie Tips: 1) Keep your kitchen full of vegetables that won't spoil quickly -- onions, garlic, potatoes, winter squash, carrots. 2) At a salad bar, fill up your plate with salad greens first. 3) Next time you make pasta with vegetables, use half as much pasta and twice as many vegetables. Bonus tip: Eating out or ordering in tonight? How about a side of broccoli with that? Surveys reveal that when people eat foods prepared outside the home, they average 25% fewer fruits and vegetables -- so make an effort to include vegetables in your order High fiber diets will keep you healthier. You're also less likely to be hungry between meals. Fiber fills you up, not out! High fiber foods include whole grains, whole grain breads and cereals, whole pieces of fruit or vegetables and legumes. Enjoy a piece of fruit and a cup of salad or fresh veggies with each meal. Here's a tip for anyone whose exercise routine is hindered by sore knees. A water aerobics class is a perfect way to exercise while minimizing stress on your joints. The water provides a fair amount of resistance, yet at the same time it provides a vital protective cushion for sore joints. ~This email is a natural hand made product.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Thanks again for sharing this great nutritional info. I agree with all of it. I try not to eat alot of dairy products, but the yogurt is a great source of probiotic bacteria. So if I do have dairy on rare occassion, it is yogurt. I get my probiotic bacteria from other sources. But this is great information. Thank you so much for sharing it, again, with those of us who are alwys seeking nutritional answers.
