The first ingredient in the BioFit formula is Lactobacillus casei, which helps break down the food into smaller pieces, making it easier for the body to digest it. According to some studies, it directly affects bowel habits, removing all the waste materials from the body. Also, it can save the body from layering fat which often leads to obesity.
Lactobacillus Plantarum: This is a probiotic strain, but when added to the body, it works as an antioxidant. Its major benefits include saving the body from free radicals, toxins, and environmental damage at the same time while trying to retain the intestinal permeability. It can kill all harmful bacteria that try to cause bloating, nausea, gas, or diarrhea in a user.
Lactobacillus Acidophilus: This BioFit ingredient kills all overly-produced harmful bacteria that are behind a number of metabolic disorders. It also works on blood cholesterol, making sure that the body doesn’t suffer from high cholesterol levels and consequent poor cardiovascular health.

Digital biomarkers provide access to new types of insights and offer unique advantages by allowing data to be generated frequently and as part of the patient’s daily life. Moreover, these low-cost, high-efficiency tools can be integrated into existing biomarker strategies. With an increase in well-validated digital health tools and continued investment in this technology, we can expect to see digital biomarkers play a major role in diagnosis and health outcomes.
No one masters a skill without mistakes, but when you’re a health care provider, screw ups can be deadly. In 2016, the National Academy of Sciences found that every year up to 30,000 civilian and military deaths of trauma patients could be prevented if the injured people had received optimal care.A new video game developed by a critical care doctor at the University of Pittsburgh aims to help emergency medicine physicians build trauma expertize in a low-stakes environment.
