Nutrition Quickie:  Take Care Of Our Gut

I am Registered Dietitian Jayson Hunter and here is your Nutrition Quickie for today. Apply it and strengthen your nutritional foundation with multiple Quickies like this.

I am sure you have heard that our gut health is important and that probiotics can help with this.

Did you know that a disruption in our gut can be linked to some of the most serious diseases?

It is true and this includes obesity…

Besides consuming a quality probiotic supplement it is important that we are getting probiotics through food such as yogurts.

Fiber is also important to our gut health because it provides fuel for our gut bacteria.

Consume 25gms of fiber a day along with foods such as yogurt, kefir and a quality probiotic supplement to feed our gut what it needs to be healthy and help prevent major diseases.
