The Little Businesses that Make Evergreen Unique.

It is the character and diversity of the people in business that adds to Evergreen's uniqueness. There are four little businesses along Evergreen Parkway Access Road that together have over 60 years in business in our community. It is no secret that I think Susan and Paul Fontana (Fontana Family Chiropractics)  are miracle workers. They are the reason I continue to walk in my high heels on a daily basis. Instead of boring you with accolades I'll let Susan and Paul tell you about health.

Probiotics have been making the news recently with the advent of specially formulated yogurts, cereals and other fortified foods.  More and more we see foods appearing on the supermarket shelves boasting added bacteria strains for healthy digestion. In reality if you have no remarkable digestive issues and you don’t want to add another supplement to your daily regime, the easiest way to introduce good bacteria into your diet is through yogurt, buttermilk or kefir (available at any health food store), these products all contain strains of healthy bacteria. However you need to eat them regularly, and in quantity, to make sure you make the most of the benefits.  If you do have some indigestion, stomach upsets, digestive disorders, or are interested in adding some positive changes to your routine and helping that digestive process along, you might want to look at adding healthy bacteria to your diet.  When you mention the words bacteria and healthy in the same sentence it confuses people, but we must remember not all bacteria are detrimental to your health, and may, in fact, provide some health benefits, particularly those in the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria genera.  And here is where the Probiotic comes in.
