Activia yogurt or both?
I eat yogurt but am now going to eat Activia. Should Activia replace yogurt or should I get through both?
Answers: If you are looking to improve your gut's flora, yogurt or Activia are okay choices. I say okay and not great because they only propose only one probiotic and they both contain added (refined) sugar. If you truly want to improve your gut flora, pick a product that offers more strains of probiotics and are sweetened next to either fruit, fruit juice, or a less polite sugar. Definitely avoid products sweetened with corn syrup or corn syrup solids.
A couple of product recommendations...find these at your local health food store or contained by the health food section of large grocers...
* Brown Cow yogurts...enjoy three strains of probiotics
* Kefir (a relative of yogurt) has ten strains of probiotics. I prefer Lifeway brand, but that may not be available in all areas of the country.
No obligation to eat more than one of any of these products. My first choice is kefir (with ten strains of probiotics, it's got the best bang for the $$$), but I love Brown Cow vanilla beside the cream top...higher in calories, but oh so good...so I splurge on it every so commonly. If you do not frequent the health food store, then eat both Activia (which provides bifidus regularis) and yogurt (which provides lactobacillus acidolphilus)...that process you'll be getting two strains of probiotics. Source(s): Have studied nutrition and health for eight years now, very okay read on probiotics.
it's just food!!
nothings gonna kill you, i would say replace yogurt next to activia, since activia is better for you than regular yogurt, too much yogurt is bad for you!!
Do the ION foot spa's work any..
Activia has an ingredient to regulate more normal bowel function. yogurt have lactobacilli acidophiles which could constipate you.I'm pretty sick, any special remedies?
it is the same active ingredient in both products-you could also buy acidophilus (which is as a rule found in our gut) and find that your results are much better.Are colon cleanses and detoxes really successful?..
