"SimplyWell" The Latest Puddings From Kozy Shack -Foods With Benefits

You've heard of the concept "friends with benefits"?  Well "foods with benefits" have been around even longer. Fifty years ago, bread manufacturers were "enriching" their breads, and toothpaste and milk had added fluoride and vitamins respectively, as well as salt with added iodine.

But these days, the focus is on antioxidants and probiotics.  Antioxidants strengthen our immune systems by counteracting the "free radicals" that kill our healthy cells.  Probiotics help our digestive systems by putting the "good bacteria" back in our bodies, thereby also boosting our immunity.  Probiotics have been touted as enhancements to yogurts and cereals.  And antioxidants are championed as the benefits of eating red and purple fruits, such as berries and pomegranates.

Now, Kozy Shack, makers of delicious puddings in the dairy cases of American supermarkets, have come out with a new dessert which contains essential vitamins and probiotics.  "SimplyWell" puddings by Kozy Shack, are delicious and healthy desserts that provide healthy benefits.  These new puddings, a serving of which is only `100 calories, provide antioxidant vitamin E, as well as vitamins C and D.  They also provide probiotic fiber to help promote digestive health and immunity.

Vitamin D has also been talked about lately as essential to bone health.  Since vitamin D is not present in sufficient quantities in the foods we eat, he best source of vitamin D has been the sun.  Vitamin D has been added to milk for decades because in many parts of the United States, there is not enough sun for most of the year to provide sufficient amounts of the vitamin.  Before milk was enriched with this vitamin, children developed rickets, a disease caused by vitamin D deficiency that caused malformation of the bones in children.  As people are living longer, osteoporosis -- brittleness of the bones -- has been a problem for older people, especially post-menopausal women.  Moreover, we have been warned that exposure to the sun causes deadly skin cancer, so we have been using sunblock to block our skin from sun exposure.  This has been an example of "too much of a good thing".  As more people block their skin from the sun, they are not deriving the healthy benefits of vitamin D.  Medications for osteoporosis have become big business.  So vitamin D added into our food has become even more important.

Kozy Shack "SimplyWell" puddings come in five delicious flavors -- dark chocolate, French vanilla, green tea chai, lemon ginger, and pear mangosteen.  The Hungry Girl newsletter reports are favorable about dark chocolate, French vanilla, and pear mangosteen flavors, but they are less enthusiastic about the lemon ginger and green tea chai varieties.  But try it for yourself and report back!
