Act Happy Week begins on March 20th. It’s a good time
to nourish your “second brain” to produce feel-good
brain chemicals, improve digestion and increase immunity
against illness.
Where’s your second brain?
It’s in your gut. Scientists discovered the brain/gut
connection. You need to nourish healthy gut flora
every day to support your health and happiness. How?
America’s wellness expert, Dr. Joseph Mercola, says
one of the best and least expensive ways to increase
healthy gut flora is to eliminate sugars from your diet
and eat more fermented foods. Healthy choices include lassi,
fermented grass-fed organic milk such as kefir,
natto (fermented soy), and fermented vegetables.
An unhealthy choice to avoid is commercial yogurt
which often contains 20-30 grams of sugar per serving,
making it a junk food.
Dr. Mercola says probiotic supplements also help you
nourish healthy gut flora. He advises you to avoid
most probiotic supplements that only provide one strain
of probiotics.
He recommends you choose a probiotic supplement that
provides several vital strains of probiotics in a daily
dose of at least 50 billion CFUs (colony forming units).

in your best choice of probiotics.
Prepare for act happy week by nourishing your second brain
with fermented foods and probiotics that increase healthy immunity
and build happy brain chemicals that help you–
Get all the happy sexy health you love,
