Our family really strives to live a healthy lifestyle, but I want to preface that by saying we don’t do it perfectly and we are still on our journey to better health. Always room for improvement, right? Though I have to say we celebrate our two year anniversary of being cold and flu free next month! One of the ways we live healthy is taking a natural probiotic and a daily multivitamin.
Insync Probiotic
Insync Probiotic is a natural probiotic I have been taking for the past three weeks. It is available at Meijer stores in the “condition specific” section. It contains doctor recommended B. infantis’, which is a healthy probiotic bacteria that has been found to help women with irritable bowel syndrome (Source: National Center for Biotechnology Information, U.S. National Library of Medicine). I have found it easy on my digestive system.
Four Things to Stay Healthy
Here are four other things to do to help maintain a healthy digestive system balance in addition to taking a natural probiotic.
1. Eating the right foods. One of my favorite fall and winter time foods is soup, especially Potato Kale Soup. It has lots of yummy veggies that keep your digestive system going.
It looks wonderful in the above photo with all its brightly colored vegetables, and it’s how the children prefer it, but I prefer to blend it together as the recipe calls for, which makes it look not quite so appealing. It is oh-so-yummy though!
2. Getting enough sleep is an important part of staying healthy and giving our body the rest it needs to function properly.
3. Get enough exercise. I struggle with this one because I like to get my exercise naturally rather than go to the gym or get on exercise equipment. One of the reasons I want to live on a farm! The thing is I have so many children that usually what’s left for me is weeding the garden which no one else enjoys. Before my older two boys took it over, one of my favorite things to do in the winter was shovel snow. Exercise aids in regular bowel movements.
4. Laughter. We are all probably familiar with the old proverb “Laughter is good medicine”, but it rings true. Exercise, laughter and having fun gets the endorphines going and reduces stress in our life. Less stress promotes good digestion and promotes good health.

I need to start taking probiotics!
I take a probiotic daily and it really helps me. I haven’t tried this brand though, so I might look into it :-)!
These are some great tips for staying healthy and I agree that Laughter is the BEST medicine. #client
Good tips. It is said that 70-80% of our immune system is in our gut – probiotics are supposed to help it.
I take probiotics every day and also provide my kids with one each morning. I think it’s really attributed to our health this season!
Probiotics really do make a difference
I’m good on the laughter but need to work on the other three! I hear great things about probiotics and I’m glad to hear they’ve kept the sickies away from you!
I like that my family doesn’t complain about taking probiotics. I think they’ve really made a difference in our health since we started taking them.

I need to eat better…and sleep more…and exercise.
