This week's Yogurt Fusion Blog will discuss part two of the series, "Foods for the Immune System."
Immunity refers to your body's ability to fight the bacteria, germs and viruses which lead to illnesses from the common cold to many diseases. A healthy diet plays a large role in how effective your immune system is by providing it with the nutrients it needs. Single foods aren't responsible for a healthy immune system, but rather a well-balanced diet to include many fruits, vegetables,lean protein and grains which will offer the most overall benefit.
This week's Yogurt Fusion Blog will continue its focus on foods that are helpful in boosting the Immune System, in a two part series entitled, "Foods for the Immune System."

This week's blog is focused on Foods to Boost the Immune System. Cold and Flu season is here and a breakdown in the bodily system can leave us susceptible to infection and illness. Once ill, it is generally recommended that one drinks fluids, rests and eats a variety of healthy foods, but we can work to remain healthy during this season.
Lifestyle does play a role. Smoke, air quality, sunlight and poor diet can contribute to a weakened immune system in the form of free radicals. These molecules can break down cells and leave them vulnerable to invading viruses and bacteria. Following are some foods which help boost the Immune system and work to keep our bodies strong at the cellular level:
This week's blog uncovers some interesting facts about Vitamins. Vitamins are important for good health and our overall well-being. They work at the cellular level to help metabolize the nutrients in the foods we eat. Vitamins are organic substances found in minimal amounts in natural foods and are also produced synthetically. If diets are deficient in one or more vitamins, your body will feel the effects of these missing elements.
Vitamins are divided into two categories: fat soluble and water soluble. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat soluble and are absorbed with the help of fats in the diet. They are stored for a longer period of time in the body, making it unusual to have a deficiency of fat-soluble vitamins.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month here in the United States and around the world. It is an international campaignwhich works to increase awareness of the importance of early breast cancer detection.
The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month Foundation (BCAM), the American Cancer Society and many organizations and charities globally have dedicated themselves to breast cancer research and they offer information and support to those affected by breast cancer. They provide a platform for breast cancer charities to raise awareness of their work and of the disease.
This time of year in October, we're proud to be a part of this campaign to raise funds for research into breast cancer's cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure and to remind women to be breast aware. Chances are that someone you know and love has been or will be affected by breast cancer, with one in seven women in America being diagnosed. Research is ongoing and continues for a cure.

Bacteria is Beneficial in Promoting Digestion
Yogurt Fusion Inc. is committed in bringing you the latest trends focusing on yogurt and your health in Today’s Yogurt Fusion Blog.
Today’s Yogurt Fusion Blog highlights the benefits of Beneficial Bacteria.
Your digestive system undergoes a daily battle as beneficial bacteria attempt to create a healthy environment, versus the bad bacteria which is staging it's battle to establish dominance. Your GI (gastro-intestinal) tract is susceptible to a massive amount of harmful bacteria, which enters your body through food and water. Leaving these unwanted toxins to multiply will create a bacterial imbalance that can unleash a host of digestive concerns.
