How Your Kids Can Benefit from Probiotics

This year we have made new goals for our family- health & wellness is the number one in our list. Focusing on what our children eat has always been a big factor to me (I am not a fan of fast food unless its CFA of course) But over the years after we started a family my husband and I became big on buying mostly all organic food, a lot of things today are contaminated with pesticides and other chemicals so we try staying away from processed food, and have started taking probiotics daily.

Probiotics are good bacteria and yeast that live in the intestines. You can ingest probiotics through food or supplement. I know as parents we ask ourselves, “Do our children need probiotics?”

And the answer is YES.

 

It’s important to keep a proper balance of healthy bacteria in the gut to ensure a happy, healthy immune system (and a happy, healthy kid). Because we are constantly faced with bacteria killers in our day-to-day lives it is important to make sure our kids are getting a constant supply of healthy bacteria too. There are more friendly bacteria in your kid’s digestive tract than there are human cells in their whole entire body.   (source)

 

If you are looking for a great probiotic supplement my best recommendation is OLLY’s Quick Melt Probiotic Sticks, you cannot go wrong with picking this one out. Since trying OLLY my kids fight about who’s next in line to take one. They absolutely love the taste of this probiotic. In fact they think its fun! Ever remember those fun sugar sticks we once had back in our childhood? Well they sorta look like that once you open the little package. It just feels like you are eating candy. They melt instantly in your mouth. No need for water or any other liquid. Your kids don’t have to swallow or chew a pill. It is that simple.

 

No need to fight with your kids ever again – I know- You’re Welcome!

As it wasn’t easy enough, it is also very convenient for the ON-THE-GO MOM.

Just throw it on the purse or the diaper bag as you are traveling or dropping them off as you head to work or out for errands on a busy scheduled day.

OLLY Kids Quick Melt Probiotic Sticks contain 3 of the most beneficial probiotic strains around-

• THE HERO (aka Bifidobacterium Lactis BL04) – This mighty guy helps boost the body’s natural defenses.

• THE BEST BUDDY (aka Lactobacillus Acidophilus NCFM) – A time tested good bacteria, this guy is a belly’s BFF

• The A+ (aka Lactobacillus Rhamnosus GG) – This wise guy is one of the most studied probiotics in the world.

  • AD| The kids and I are so excited for this May - not only is it the boy’s birthday month, but May 3rd @UglyDolls premieres! It’s an animated adventure in which the free-spirited #UglyDolls find out what it means to be different and ultimately discover the best lesson in life - who you truly are is what matters most. This is such a valuable lesson that I want my children to remember and I can’t wait for them to watch and hear this important message and experience it themselves.

  • I was finally able to check out @cafebustelo limited time cafe this weekend that recently opened for the spring in Montrose. They are in Houston 📍for a short time only.

Go with your family and friends and enjoy a second coffee on me by using the code through April 30. You can check out the cafe till May 25th and follow them year round at @cafebustelo. #AD #cafebustelo

  • #sponsored Last week I was struggling big time as a mom while my husband was away. The kids and I had a full on busy schedule that required me to stay on the go every day 😩. And as always if there is anything I’ve learned throughout the years is MOMS PACK SNACKS FOR YOUR KIDS. It never fails when we are out and they are constantly “hungry” even though I just fed them. My easiest child (lately) is Luke when it comes to what I give him & his go to snack that is healthy and fresh is 🍌 #chiquitabanana. We always have to stay stock up because they go so fast in this house. @chiquitabrands
