Probiotics are live bacteria and eating or drinking them can have a profound beneficial effect on your health. Before you say "ewww," let's look at the science and why the right bacteria is essential for our well-being.

If you took antibiotics, it probably knocked out your good intestinal microbial environment for at least a month. Some strong antibiotics affect the gut for up to four years.

Diana Antoniucci, M.D. opens new window   of Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation shares these important facts, below.   In women, osteoporosis commonly starts after menopause. Estrogen helps maintain good bone density. But as estrogen levels drop after menopause, bone breakdown increases, contributing to the development of osteoporosis.   Simply put, osteoporosis is the weakening of bone due to a decrease in bone density. Although any bone can be affected by the disease, the spine and hips are the greatest concern because fractures of either of these can lead to significant pain, temporary or permanent disability, and decreased function. This is why preventing osteoporosis ...
