Beneficial Bugs!!
Yogurt fortified with healthy bacteria may help you ward off certain illnesses.
In a recent study, researchers gave workers a daily dose of either Lactobacillus reuteri, a type of beneficial bacteria, or a placebo for 80 days. Only about 10 percent of workers who took L. reuteri came down with a respiratory or gastrointestinal infection that caused them to miss work; more than 26 percent of the workers who took the placebo fell ill.
Protecting your immune system can make your real age as much as 6 years younger.
