Taking in some culture

Beneficial bugs in the belly? You bet. The human digestive tract is home to billions of beneficial microorganisms - also known as probiotics - that are essential for healthy digestion and overall intestinal vitality. And the health of your intestines may be far more important than you realize: more than 70% of the body's immune function is linked to the digestive system.¹

Eating foods like yogurt that contain live and active probiotic cultures is a great way to maintain a healthy internal balance. The probiotics in Rachel's^® yogurt help support good digestion and naturally fortify your body's defenses.

Every creamy cup of Rachel's contains five distinct probiotic strains: L. bulgaricus, S. thermophilus, L. acidophilus, Bifidobacerium longum and L. casei. Spoon up and thrive.

Yogurt of Yore

Yogurt has been around since Neolithic times, with its roots in the Middle East. Historians theorize that the combination of milk stored in goatskin bags and the heat of the desert sun allowed lactic-acid cultures to get to work, fermenting and transforming the milk into the first natural yogurt.

In the 16th century, yogurt got a boost when sheep's milk yogurt reputedly cured French King Francis I of melancholy and stomach aches. And in the early 1900's, Russian biologist and Nobel Prize winner Elie Metchnikov attributed many Bulgarians' unusually long life spans to a diet of yogurt.
