 YogurtOlympic Yogurts help you find a path to a stronger, healthier you. Yogurt is rich in calcium, full of vitamins, high in protein and contains live bacterial cultures which support immune response, improve gastrointestinal health, and assist in the prevention of a host of conditions and diseases. Olympic Yogurts contains 5 active bacterial cultures to ensure maximum benefit. These cultures: • Breakdown lactose converting it to lactic acid thus reducing the amount of lactose in the yogurt, which enables some people with lactose intolerance to enjoy yogurt. • Support the absorption and synthesis of many minerals and vitamins • Regulate the growth of intestinal and vaginal yeast in the body. • Balance the internal flora and fauna of the gastrointestinal system. All this plus great taste, creamy texture, wonderful fruit flavours and all natural ingredients. Not all bones and teeth The importance of calcium for healthy bones and teeth is probably not news to you, but what about its role in supporting other bodily systems and disease prevention? "Calcium is crucial to maintain life. Just about every cell in the body, including those in the heart, nerves and muscles, relies on calcium to function properly." (www.osteoporosis.ca) Research suggests that calcium may also have a role in protecting against some forms of cancer. "Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food" The food we eat has a direct correlation to our state of health, this is no longer a hidden secret. Doctors and Nutritionists alike recommend getting your Calcium needs through your diet whenever possible, and dairy products are an excellent source of calcium. According to the Osteoporosis Society of Canada, "milk products are the richest source of easy-to-absorb calcium." All of Olympic's dairy products are a delicious way to get up to 25% of your daily calcium requirements per serving. Discover how food can be your route to better health and well being! The Benefits of Bacteria Due to improved nutrient and mineral absorption attributed to probiotic bacterial cultures, the calcium found in cultured dairy products (yogurt, sour cream, etc.) is more easily absorbed and "bio-available", than that found in other calcium rich foods. Recommended daily calcium goals should are as follows: • 500 - 800mg for preschool children • 800mg for children 4 to 8 years • 1300mg a day for healthy adolescents (9-18 years) • 1000mg a day for healthy adults (ages 19-50) • 1200 mg - 1500mg of calcium a day for older adults, 50+ Note: Women who are pregnant and breast-feeding and those at risk for osteoporosis should aim for the higher intake of calcium.
