Yogurt: Protein, Calcium and Digestion

Many folks realize the valuable protein amounts found in yogurt. Gaining that all important protein is helpful for maintaining muscle and fueling your body for the day. What some people don't realize is how many other fantastic elements exist within yogurt to give you a gold mine of nutritional value and healthy benefits. Yogurt provides at least seven vitamins or minerals including zinc, potassium, phosphorous, riboflavin, iodine, vitamin B12 and vitamin B5 (also known as pantothenic acid). Yogurt also contains good levels of calcium, and in some cases it will include vitamin D. This is due to vitamin D's ability to help the body absorb calcium better so some companies decide to add it into their yogurt products.

Yogurt, however, is probably most known for it's great digestive benefits. The active or live cultures found in multiple types of yogurt serve to be an intestinal bodyguard of sorts constantly crowding out the unwanted and often harmful microorganisms that get inside the digestive tract and can cause infections. Make sure to eat daily amounts of yogurt with live or active cultures as a potential preventative to those horrible tummy irritations and illnesses all of us like to avoid.

Organic Honey: Powerhouse of Benefits

There is a real joy to learning more about the things we eat and what we put into our bodies, because knowing more real facts and understanding the benefits of why you are what you eat can be very empowering. Let me help you discover this nugget of healthy truth today too - organic honey is a powerhouse of nutrients you can't afford to overlook. Organic honey is a natural sweetener used in a variety of meals we make, added to drinks, and as a condiment on top of foods we eat. This powerful energy source is one of those "gotta have it" foods that many athletes and fitness fans don't want to live without. Organic honey is overloaded with vitamins and minerals, works well as an antibacterial and anti-fungal, and even aids in weight loss. Organic honey has proven to be a natural way to keep many body functions running effectively by simply adding a tablespoon or two to daily recipes, sipping in your drink for a refreshing energy boost, or even taking a spoonful by mouth to start your day off right or sooth a sore throat.
