How Your Kids Can Benefit from Probiotics

January 30, 2017

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.

 

RIGHT NOW YOU CAN GET A FREE SAMPLE OF OLLY QUICK MELT PROBIOTIC STICKS.

Hi! I'm Erika, wife to my high school sweetheart, mama of three- Ryan, Elyse and Luke. Texas living, just juggling being a WAHM now. Here I share my motherhood journey, family travel, love for food, affordable kid fashion and all my favorite things. Welcome to my blog, so happy you are here.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving 🦃🍽🍁. I’m grateful for the abundance of health, food, love, another year with my parents by my side and the family God has given me. I’m thankful for these four people right here, always ♥️ #thanksgivingday
What a special day. Many milestones to get here. 1 What a special day. Many milestones to get here. 10 years of marriage today. Within these ten years we have build a home, added two more kids (3 total and done) we’ve had career changes, you decided to go back to school and you’re halfway done, all while surviving a global pandemic and yet we are still here even after being stuck at home a whole year with each other. Safe to say we have made it! We have leaned on each other and pushed each other forward. 

Happy Decade Anniversary. 10 years of marriage down, forever to go. ♥️
The boys are living their best lives. These faces The boys are living their best lives. These faces say it all. Never really thought a boys trip is what they needed for some bonding time. They are exactly five years apart and share a birthday together but the age difference really became a thing now that Ryan is hitting his pre teen years. Luke randomly keeps reminding him “hey do you remember when I was in mommy’s belly and you wanted me here on your birthday... well here I am” 😂 // AD Thank you @visitfriscotx for giving the boys an unforgettable time #visitfriscotx #friscotx #texastravel

We partner with @visitfriscotx to show you around the city. I’ve always loved the DFW area and Frisco has instantly become one of my favorite cities in Texas so far. There is so much to see and do. And the best thing for me is everything is either walking distance from the @hyattregencyfrisco like the @stonebriarcentre or easy driving distance like @kidzaniausa @thestarinfrisco @nvmusa and so many fine dining restaurants.

We love exploring new places any chance we get. Swipe to see more photos. Will be sharing more this week. You can check it all in my Frisco TX highlight. #visitfriscotx #frisco #dallas #texasblogger
