We all know how fleeting nutrition facts can be, what’s deemed healthy today is often slated tomorrow – eggs and cholesterol are a case in point, for years they were touted as cholesterol-causing and carried a cautionary warning; but recent research has shown that for most people, eating eggs is actually quite healthy, and that cholesterol is governed more by a genetic predisposition than it is by lifestyle choices.

While we are all familiar with the macronutrients: carbohydrate, protein and fat; and the role each plays in helping our bodies function and perform optimally; less is known about probiotics and the role it plays in optimising our health. Already established as an aid for our digestive systems (doctors rarely prescribe antibiotics, known to cause upset stomachs, without also prescribing probiotics), ongoing research into probiotics is constantly identifying new value and health benefits.
