Mountain High Yoghurt Clarifies the Mysteryand theMystiqueSurrounding...



Some of the most beneficial ingredients a person can ingest are invisible to the naked eye: live, active, and probiotic cultures, or friendly bacteria, that work synergistically in the digestive system to fight infection and disease, aid digestion, offset intestinal upsets and boost overall wellness. Yoghurt, long hailed as a healthy super food, is often a good source for these probiotic cultures--but not all brands contain them, and many only contain one kind.




Some brands contain only the 'sstarter cultures's that turn milk into yoghurt, explains Ursula Webhofer, marketing manager for Mountain High Yoghurt (www.mountainhighyoghurt.com), the bestselling family-sized yoghurt in the Western U.S. For better digestive health and an improved immune system, a yoghurt loaded with a blend of billions of live, active, and probiotic cultures will perform better. Mountain High has contained billions of probiotics in every serving since we first started making it over 30 years ago.



How Probiotics Work


The human body is home to some 100 trillion bacteria. Most are friendly--that is, they serve a beneficial purpose such as protecting the body from harmful bacteria such as salmonella and e. coli. In fact, 70% of a person'ss immune system resides in the digestive tract, and probiotic cultures that naturally reside in the intestines are a big part of it. They protect the body from disease and illness, break down foods into easily absorbed nutrients and even synthesize nutrients.



Some die every day, however, either naturally or because they are called on to fight illness. When the population of friendly bacteria is diminished--by disease, stress, poor nutrition, or medication like antibiotics--harmful bacteria can get the upper hand, leading to diarrhea, cold and flu, infections, and more.



Find a Great Source for Billions of Probiotic Cultures for Good Health


For optimal health, it'ss important to replenish probiotic populations regularly. Yoghurt with live, active, and probiotic cultures can be a great source of replenishment. Daily servings of probiotic yoghurt with adequate culture levels are a great way to sustain a healthy population of probiotics in your body, Webhofer recommends. For maximum benefits, look for synergistic combinations of different strains, such as Mountain High'ss special blend of five cultures.



Mountain High Yoghurt contains L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus, which are live and active starter cultures that turn milk into yoghurt; and L. acidophilus, B. bifidus, and L. casei, which are live and active probiotic cultures.



L. acidophilus, B. bifidus, and L. casei serve numerous functions in digestion, metabolism (the breakdown and synthesis of energy and vital nutrients), and immunity. Healthy levels of these probiotic cultures can:


>    stimulate the immune system to resist illness, including infection from the common cold and influenza viruses, as well as more serious pathogens


>    discourage the growth of harmful bacteria and other pathogens


>    aid digestion by increasing enzyme levels


>    increase absorption of calcium and other nutrients


>    help break down lactose (milk sugar)


>    reduce/avoid the onset of or speed recovery from diarrhea



Every single cup of Mountain High Yoghurt is home to billions of these probiotic cultures that help restore what we call your microbial balance (http://www.mountainhighyoghurt.com/html/microbial_balance.htm), says Clint Goldsmith, Mountain High'ss brand manager. By eating daily servings of Mountain High Yoghurt, you can ingest enough probiotic cultures--which survive the trip through the stomach--to restore balance and keep harmful bacteria in check.



Other Benefits of Probiotics


Probiotic cultures also help restore the protective lining in your digestive tract and prevent pathogens from growing. This lining can be diminished, damaged, or shed due to diarrhea (induced by illness, stress, antibiotics and other medications, or travel) or rotavirus (which primarily affects infants and children). Several studies have also shown that childhood eczema can be reduced or eliminated with probiotic bacteria. Daily servings of probiotic cultures can also help prevent and curb yeast overgrowth that can lead to yeast infections.



There'ss no need to wait for trouble to appear, though, says Goldsmith. With Mountain High Yoghurt, you can give your body a fighting chance to ward off problems before they start.
