Cough, abdominal pain, and infections in children can be reduced by giving a probiotic yogurt, according to a new study.
Researchers from Georgetown University Medical Center conducted a study of more than 600 children aged 3-6 years to determine whether the bacteria in yogurt, Lactobasillus casei DN 114-001, has an influence on common infectious diseases.

Parents in this study agreed to give their child a drink of yogurt every day. Half of them were given a traditional yogurt and other probiotics are given yogurt, yogurt containing the beneficial bacteria. Each parent was not told what kind of yogurt given to them.

At the end of the study carried out for 3 months, children given the probiotic yogurt has a gastrointestinal infection cases 24% less, and cases of respiratory infections for 18% less compared with children who were given regular yogurt.


Probiotic yogurt can be a healthy alternative food choices for your child. Of course you still need to keep a balanced nutritional intake for optimal child health.

Fish oil has demonstrated that it could help lower high blood pressure in adults and also have benefits in lowering cholesterol levels. Dr. Lotte Lauritzen of Copenhagen University in Denmark and his colleagues are trying to find out whether the benefits of fish oil can be seen in its infancy.
The research was conducted Lauritzen and colleagues of 80 boys are a little overweight between the ages of 13 to 15 years. These children were divided into two groups, group 1 is given as much as 1.5 grams of fish oil per day, equivalent to 1.5 fish oil soft capsule, while the other group received placebo in the form of vegetable oil with the same amount.

And the result, after 16 weeks of the study group of children who are given fish oil has a systolic pressure of 3.8 mmHg and diastolic 2.6 mm Hg lower than the group of children given placebo.

Blood pressure in childhood and infancy will affect the condition of blood pressure in adulthood and his parents later. This can be caused by the influence of exercise habits and diet will usually continue until the children grow up.

From this study it can be said that fish oil can lower blood pressure in adolescents with a slightly overweight. And of course these benefits will be felt by the heart for them.
