Breast Cancer Awareness & Prevention Reminders
HASHTAG: #AMCoffee
Probiotics Are Life. No Exaggeration.
We have discussed on several occasions the benefits of probiotics and what role they play in our overall health. Probiotics are by far the cheapest and easiest way to prevents colds, flus and other common illnesses…if used correctly. Unfortunately, most people use them incorrectly. Don’t waste your money on probiotics! Learn how to use them correctly so they work as well as possible.
Probiotics are good bacteria that crowd out the bad bacteria, viruses and yeast by using up all the food and space so the bad guys have no room to grow. They mainly live in the gut or intestines. To get there, they travel through the stomach. If you’ve recently eaten something, your stomach has enzymes and acid in it to break down your food. The enzymes and acid will break down your probiotic capsule, killing the good bacteria!
My co-host Dr. Karen Vieira will point out her TOP 3 DO’s when it comes to probiotics and their consumption. Check out Dr. Karen’s credentials to get to know her better!

good morning ladies
Good afternoon!
Hello!! Good afternoon! I started taking probiotics because of tummy issues. Helped alot!
Empty Stomach
Take probiotics on an empty stomach. That way, they can make it through the stomach with no danger from acid, enzymes or food and get all the way to the gut, where they will “move in” and leave no room for the bad guys who can make you sick. The best time to take probiotics is first thing in the morning, as soon as you wake up, long before you eat anything.
ok thanks this is good to know
I usually take mine at night prior to bed. That has always worked for me.
I did not realize this! I will be taking mine at a different time now. Thank you for the tip.
Amazing Gift Today to a winner of a set of Mr. Wong’s Sauces.
Created by Mr. Wong himself and taken over by his daughter Bernice, this company has quite an achivement in genuine Chinese Sauces!

Post was successful in making me hungry..
You are teasing me!! I am busy with a twitter party right now and cannot get up to make something to eat yet. So hungry!! Hahah
NOT WITH HOT BEVERAGES
Take it with cold or room temperature liquid, never with a hot beverage. The hot liquid will start to dissolve the capsule right away, meaning that the probiotic may not make it all the way to the gut where it needs to get to. Drink your coffee or tea a little while after rather than with your probiotics.
that sure makes scenes you really want it to work
I always worry about killing the bacteria. I always take with water and since I am going to be nothing else goes down.
Another great tip I did not know. I rarely drink hot liquids so plus for me!

Commented. Sounds so yummy.
WAIT BEFORE YOU EAT!
After taking probiotics don’t eat anything for at least half hour if you can. That gives the good bacteria time to get down into the gut before you put anything in your stomach.
thanks i sure will remember this
I always try not to eat anything after taking them. I usually take them then brush my teeth.
That’s a good strategy. I like it.
All this talk about food. You’re killing me here. lol
Woop
Good morning everyone.
Here’s a great way to refresh your knowledge from our previous conversation on PROBIOTICS.
It is important and VITAL to know such facts as that:
– Important gut bacteria passes from mother to child through natural birth and breast milk. – New Mothers, read this!
– The ratio of good to bad bacteria can be distributed by eating highly processed, sterilized, and pasteurized foods. – We all need to be aware of this fact and act pro-actively to keep the balance at its optimum!
– Allergies are a hallmark of an imbalance in the gut bacteria. – Wow, do you remember this fact?
Plus, there are a lot of more data and facts we covered in that previous AM Coffee conversation. It is always beneficial to refresh our knowledge about things like this one!
i just love to come here and get this good information and it helps me a lot
I’m glad the information is helpful 🙂
This was a new fact for me: Allergies are a hallmark of an imbalance in the gut bacteria
I totally forgot about the allergy thing. My son has horrible allergies. I will look into getting him a probiotic.
When buying probiotics, look at how many bacteria are in each pill. For example 1 billon CFUs (live bacteria) per pill is better than 500 miliion CFUs per pill. And I always keep mine in the fridge. They are more effective when they’ve been refrigerated.
