Recently I was invited for the DuPont probiotics bloggers meet at Chancery Pavilion, Bangalore and happily accepted to be a part of it as I was always curious to know more about probiotics and how they help our body. This event by DuPont HOWARU® Probiotics was mainly to create awareness about the benefits of and resolve several health issues without consuming medicines.
The meet started with introductions which were then followed by a discussion on various topics ranging from science & benefits of probiotics to trends & perception, consumption and Q & A. The event ended with networking over lunch

What is Probiotics?
Our body is full of bacteria both good and bad. Probiotics are often called “good” bacteria which help in improving the gut health. These can be added to your daily food or even consumed as a supplement to maintain a balanced & healthy digestive system.
Why is Probiotics essential?

How can one include Probiotics in our diet?
The best known and available source is “Dahi” or Yogurt. Indian fermented food such as idli, dosa, Dhokla is rich in probiotics. One can find probiotics even in ice cream, chocolate, juices, refrigerated juices, fermented milk, such as “Yakult”, protein bars, protein cookies etc. It’s hard to obtain all of the healthy amounts of probiotics through diet alone, which is why daily probiotic supplements are suggested. Taking a high-quality probiotic supplement like can supply you with all essential bacteria strains that you need for optimal health.
DuPont Danisco range of probiotics is known as HOWARU. Howaru range of premium probiotics includes beverages, dairy products, confectionery & frozen desserts. These are made from clinically documented formulations for natural immune defences and good gut health to meet consumer needs across different age groups.

A new resolution of for a healthy lifestyle change has been added for 2019.. would you join with me too? Do share your thoughts in comments …
