  Stay Informed to Stay Healthy
An important step towards digestive health is familiarizing yourself with the latest information on the topic. There are many online resources dedicated to informing consumers about digestive health - here are few of them: Dannon® Probiotics Center There is detailed information on probiotics on this site, in particular their effect on the intestinal microflora and digestive health. There's also a link to information about DanActive®, a Dannon cultured dairy drink that contains a probiotic culture called L. casei Defensis™ and has been clinically proven to help strengthen your body's natural defenses. http://www.dannonprobioticscenter.com The Danone® Institute for Nutrition and Health
The Danone® Institute is a non-profit organization whose mission is to develop and disseminate scientific knowledge on diet and nutrition to benefit public health. On this website you'll find a database of more than two thousand publications on nutritional health and a directory of over 700 nutrition organizations. In addition, there's information about the Institute's Education Programs, which are valuable resources for teachers, parents and children. http://www.danoneinstitute.org/ American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) The Patient Center section of this site contains volumes of information on digestive health, plus a link to the AGA's own bi-monthly consumer magazine, Digestive Health & Nutrition. There's also a library of downloadable videos - with accompanying transcripts - on digestive health topics. http://www.gastro.org HealthierUS.gov The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Department of Agriculture (USDA) jointly maintain this site. Along with other information, you'll find their publication, Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the basis for federal food and nutrition education programs. Published every five years, (the latest edition was released in January, 2005) Guidelines provides authoritative advice on improving health through good dietary habits. http://www.healthierus.gov |
