Probiotics: Take

They say your health is your wealth; when in fact, your health is your digestive system. Your digestive tract is not only responsible for immune function, but also plays a part in regulating your mood as most of your serotonin can be found in your gut. (Ever get butterflies in your stomach when you’re nervous? This is why.) Because of this, keeping your digestive tract healthy is vital for optimum health. Probiotics fill your stomach with good bacteria that can help weed out the bad, so this supplement is definitely a keeper. 

Quick Tip: If you are hesitant to take a probiotic supplement, start out with yogurt (like Activia) that also provides healthy bacteria, just not as much as a supplement would.
