Probiotics Lessen the Severity of Upper Respiratory Infections in College Students

Probiotics Lessen the Severity of Upper Respiratory Infections in College Students




At a Glance:

Recent research shows that supplementing with the probiotic strains Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG® and Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis BB-12® may help improve health-related quality of life during upper respiratory infections.

Read more about this research below:


Certain probiotic strains are known to influence immune function and may help improve health-related quality of life (HRQL) during upper respiratory infections. In a new study published in the British Journal of Nutrition, researchers analyzed the effect of probiotic intake on apparently healthy college students. College students are often vulnerable to upper respiratory infections (URI) due to insufficient sleep, stress, and close living quarters. 


The study participants included 231 normally healthy college students living on campus in residence halls at the Framingham State University. The students were randomized to receive either a placebo or a probiotic powder containing a minimum of 1 billion colony forming units each of Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG® and Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis BB-12®. The students completed The Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey-21 to assess HRQL during URI. Reporting of HRQL outcomes included self-reported duration, symptom severity and functional impairment of URI. 

When compared to the placebo group, the average duration of URI was significantly shorter by 2 days in the probiotic group. The group on the probiotics also reported a 34% lower average severity score compared to placebo. The probiotics group also missed significantly fewer school days, although there was no difference in number of missed work days.


Although more research is needed to determine specific mechanisms involved and the possible cost-benefit of preventive supplementation, the combination of probiotic strains LGG® and BB-12® may be valuable tool in improving the health-related quality of life during exposure to upper respiratory infections.




Smith TJ, Rigassio-Radler D, Denmark R, Haley T, Touger-Decker R. Effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG® and Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis BB-12® on health-related quality of life in college students affected by upper respiratory infections. Br J Nutr. 2012 Oct 1:1-9. [Epub ahead of print]

Replaying What Works

Replaying What Works



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
by Michael S. Clouse
 
I ran across an interesting little distinction that, when fully understood and properly applied, will forever change the way you think, act, and teach the art of building your MLM business.
Interested? Thought you might be...
 
It all started when Paul J. Meyer, a worldwide icon in the personal development industry, authored a fabulous book entitled, Bridging The Leadership Gap and was kind enough to send me an autographed copy...
 
Contained in this masterpiece, Paul shares his wisdom, along with a short story so profound, it simply must be retold.
 
Paul writes, "To develop your potential for effective leadership, begin with the strengths and abilities you already possess. [Because] you are always stronger when you keep your successes and strengths in mind."
 
Driving home his point, Paul continues, "Vince Lombardi, who coached two teams to World Championships, observed that when football games were over, it always seemed that errors got more attention than successes. The newspaper and television media would highlight, analyze, and discuss the mistakes. One day, Lombardi decided, 'From now on, we are only going to replay our winning plays.' And look what happened to him and his team—his theory worked!"
 
Only replay our winning plays... Interesting concept.
 
How about you? What plays are you running over, and over, and still over again on that all too familiar screen inside your head?
 
And what would happen if you were to only focus on what you did right? If you were to only replay those presentations that worked? If you were to only recognize your successes, and then repeat those accomplishments again, and again, and again? What might happen to your attitude, to your Network Marketing business, and to your life?
 
These are fascinating questions to ponder...
 
Leaders also understand, we must get back to the basics once every year. Echoing this, recall Vince Lombardi's most famous quote... His team had already won the World Championship. So how did training camp begin the following summer? Lombardi gathered his men together, and to his World Champions—with pigskin in hand—uttered his now immortal words, "Gentlemen, this is a football."
Indeed.
 
So what would this, "Getting back to the basics, with a focus on what you're doing right!" look like for your business? Well, because at its essence Network Marketing is about three things, it would look something like this:
  1. Prospecting—You've got to find 'em.
  2. Presentation—You've got to sponsor 'em.
  3. Duplication—You've got to teach 'em how to do the same.
Therefore, acquire the knowledge, apply the skills, and teach everyone on your team how to do the same. Focus on what you do right. Repeat.
 
Now that's replaying what works... A simple formula for success anyone can follow.
All the best,
 
MSC
