Four Things that May Help You Maintain Digestive Balance
Special to The Truth
Around this time each
year, New Year’s resolutions get lost amidst busy schedules
and unexpected obligations. Even if your resolutions are a
thing of the past, it’s possible to get back on track by
identifying easy to follow changes that don’t require huge
alterations in lifestyle.
Sherri Shepherd knows a
thing or two about busy schedules and how they can
complicate healthy intentions. Shepherd, actress,
comedienne, Emmy award winning co-host of "The View” and
Align spokeswoman, is constantly on-the-go and has developed
a few health resolutions that fit into her already packed
life.
Hydrate
Hydration is key to
overall health and wellness and is a simple substitute for
any unhealthy beverages already being consumed. Water can
help your body fight constipation and is great for your
skin. Next time you have a soda craving, try water with
lemon added for a healthy, flavorful hydrator.
Stay Healthy On-The-Go
Staying healthy when you
are constantly away from home or running around town can
prove to be challenging and stressful. After a long day,
unhealthy options can seem more appealing and derail our
healthy intentions. Preparation is the key to avoiding diet
pitfalls. Carry a healthy snack with you or pencil in a stop
at a healthy restaurant before you leave the house for the
day.
Fortify Your System
Probiotics, the healthy
bacteria found naturally in our bodies, are essential for
many vital body functions and can help to build a healthy
digestive system as well as maintain natural balance. But
these bacteria are fragile and common issues such as changes
in diet and schedule, stress, and travel can disrupt them.
“Juggling my busy
schedule and the stress that sometimes comes with it can
throw my body out-of-sync. Taking a probiotic supplement
regularly is an easy way to maintain my digestive balance
and keep me in my groove,” says Shepherd.

Get Active
With life constantly
throwing us curve balls and unexpected turns, it’s important
to recognize the need for balance in life. Take time to
relax and adopt healthy hobbies like meditation and
exercise. Get gutsy and try something you’ve wanted to do,
but never had the confidence to try -- then bask in the
sense of accomplishment you feel.
These steps, combined with
small lifestyle changes, like staying hydrated and adding a
probiotic supplement to your diet, can help contribute to
overall health and well-being and keep your healthy goals
attainable.
