Do you REALLY understand your body? If you get an upset stomach, do you know why? When you feel bloated, is it only during that “time of the month”? For a woman, there are many things that we naturally worry about. Mostly about others we care about in times of need, specifically when they need us. But when it comes to ourselves, we tend to put our own personal health and well-being on the back burner because we simply “don’t have time” to worry about it.

Truth be told, many women put others before themselves–especially if they are a wife and/or a mother. It’s in our nature to nurture, but why does our own health go by the wayside in the process? Because we neglect ourselves in lieu of others, casting our needs down the line on our priority totem pole.

Did You Know:

• Heart disease is the #1 killer for both men and women in the United States.
• Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women.
• Osteoporosis affects nearly 44 million Americans, with 68% of those being female.
• Twice as many women suffer from depression, nearly 12 million in the U.S. alone.

With diseases on the rise and toxins all around us, there are more health concerns today than ever before. So what does this mean? This engrained personal philosophy that we as women follow has to stop, and now. Take charge, because now is the time to time to look and feel your best!

So what is the secret to everlasting health???

As women, we often think to take a combination of different vitamins when we want to supercharge ourselves. But what if you didn’t need all of that? What if there was just one simple pill that was filled with all the things you need to help not only your gut, but many other crucial functions in your body? Sounds too good to be true? Well, just keep reading.

Benefits of Probiotics for Gut Health:

Obviously one of the selling points of probiotics is the way that they transform your digestion into a smooth, effective process with no disruptions and/or inconveniences. Many times after eating, especially foods containing gluten or dairy, our stomach becomes bloated, and we suffer from cramping and gas. With just one daily dose of probiotics, you are feeding your body the healthy bacteria that it needs to heal your gut. Therefore ridding yourself of:

• cramping/gas pains
• diarrhea and/or constipation, allowing for regular bowel movements
• ease stomachaches and bloating that is brought on after eating
• cure indigestion and acid reflux by healing the gut
• rebuild your body’s immune system and functions
• revitalize your energy levels in ways you never imagined
• reduce the side effects of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

Benefits of Probiotics on Brain Health:

The gut is known as “second brain” and it’s no strange coincidence that maintaining a healthy gut can boost your mood as well as your brain function. Probiotics have been proven to:

• Boost positivity, by keeping negative and/or aggressive thoughts away
• Supercharge your brain activity
• Help to eliminate feelings of anxiety.

Benefits Specifically for Pregnant and/or Nursing Mothers:

For any of us who are mothers, the health of our baby, whether born or yet-to-be, is of utmost importance to us. From the time of conception, it is our job as mothers to protect our children’s health, and with probiotics you can do just that! Being pregnant and/or a new mom is hard work, and taking a daily probiotic can help you to feel your best in those times when you’re sleep deprived, too tired to think, and perhaps covered in spit-up.

Probiotics for pregnant mothers:

• work to establish a healthy immune system for unborn baby, giving them the defense they need for life outside of the womb
• reduce the chances for baby to develop allergies and asthma
• Alleviate constipation in expectant mothers, which is often a complaint due to changes in hormone levels

Probiotics for nursing mothers:

• Build your baby’s immune system, which they will need once they begin on solids
• Prevent eczema (painful, itchy rashes that can devleop along the skin from a very early age)
• Keep colic away. Inconsolable fits of crying for hours on end is any new mother’s worst nightmare, and no fun for baby either
• When a pregnant woman takes probiotics regularly, this boosts Vitamin B production in her body. When passed along to baby, this will help to regulate metabolism function, prevent anemia and keep the skin and nervous system healthy.
• Implementing a daily probiotic can prevent against yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis, which are common during pregnancy. The result of which can trigger preterm labor if left untreated.

Women’s Health Benefits:

In regards to vaginal health, the most common health concerns for these areas come as a result of overgrowth in bad bacteria. These painful issues can have us reaching for over the counter products, and even calling our gynecologists to prescribe us antibiotics to treat.

Prevent yeast infections by killing off Candida yeast and establishing a well-balanced flora. This is serious, as millions of women all over the world suffer from chronic (defined by 4 or more per year) yeast infections. Antibiotics kill all bacteria, not just bad bacteria which only temporarily relieves the issue.

Encourage a healthy urinary tract, which will prevent painful urinary tract infections. It is reported that 30-40% of these infections that are treated with antibiotics reoccur, as the antibiotics are not the permanent answer–probiotics are. Do not suffer in silence, probiotics are the answer you need to save yourself the pain and inconvenience in regards to your vaginal health.

Proven Benefits of Probiotics on Mood/Behavior:

You may have noticed that when you have issues with your digestion or bodily functions, this can directly affect your mood. Regular bowel movements (smooth and easy digestion post-meal) release endorphins in our body, and it’s this serotonin that keeps us happy. Daily probiotic implementation can decrease ruminative thoughts that trigger depression, by allowing your body to function without interruption.

Taking a multi-strain probiotic can not only benefit your gastrointestinal health by promoting healthy gut flora and easing digestion, but it has been clinically proven to positively affect your mood.

The Fight Against Autoimmune Disease:

According to the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA), about 75% of autoimmune diseases occur in women. Symptoms of autoimmune diseases (such as diabetes and Crohn’s disease) can be lessened with the help of probiotic supplementation. Many of these diseases, like ulcerative colitis, have painful symptoms which can greatly affect one’s life to the point of which it takes control and renders them helpless. Life is already hard enough, allow probiotics to help cure you from the inside out and take back control of your life.

The foods that we eat are directly linked to the development of autoimmune disease, because our diet ultimately determines what kinds of bacteria are present in our gut. If you think about it, our gut health has not evolved from the times in which humans were cave dwellers, but our daily diet certainly has. When our body is introduced to these foreign substances (think processed foods, gluten, etc.), it sends red flags up to fight off these toxic triggers, thus leading to inflammation and other serious health conditions.

Probiotics WILL Correct The Damage of Antibiotics:

For a woman on the go, we don’t have time to get sick. Whether it’s work or kids, or even the husband who needs something, having to answer to so many people is hard to do when you’re under the weather. When we get sick we are quick to get that antibiotic to bring us back to our normal selves, but all this does is damage our delicate gut flora by killing all of the bacteria (not just the bad) in the process.

Probiotics will replenish the balance of good bacteria in the body, and supercharge your gut health from the harming effects of antibiotics. Did you know that 80% of your body’s immune system is found in your gut? Healthy gut, healthy you!

Can’t Lose Those Last Pesky Pounds? Probiotics are the Answer:

We know it’s not the most ladylike thing to talk about, but fluctuations in your digestion GREATLY affect your weight. If you exercise regularly and eat a well-balanced diet, there should be no reason why you can’t lose weight and feel your best if you’re burning more calories than you’re consuming. But if you aren’t eliminating waste like you should, without regular functions after meals, you will not lose those pesky pounds that cling on for dear life. It’s exhausting and it leaves you with a lingering feeling of defeat. When we are feeling crummy about our weight, we often make food choices that we will regret later, usually around the time that we are trying on our clothes and nothing fits.

You CAN lose the weight! Probiotics are the solution to the equation, and will fix this troubling problem for good.
