Yoghurt May Not Be For Everyone by Toma96(m): 7:42am On Jan 19, 2018
Some people need to be cautious with their yoghurt intake, as it may cause adverse effects, especially in those with lactose intolerance or a milk allergy.
Lactose Intolerance
Lactose intolerance occurs when the body lacks lactase, the enzyme needed to break down lactose, which is the sugar found in milk. It leads to various digestive symptoms, such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, after consuming milk products.
Therefore, those with lactose intolerance may need to avoid yoghurt.
The best yoghurts for your health contain few ingredients and no added sugar. Aim for a brand that contains probiotics.
Yogurt is rich in nutrients and may boost your health when consumed regularly.
It may help reduce the risk of some diseases, while also benefiting digestive health and weight control.
However, make sure to choose your yoghurt wisely. For maximal health benefits, choose plain, unsweetened varieties that contain probiotics.
What Is Yoghurt and How Is It Made?
Yogurt is a popular dairy product that’s made by the bacterial fermentation of milk.
The bacteria used to make yogurt are called “yoghurt cultures,” which ferment lactose, the natural sugar found in milk.
This process produces lactic acid, a substance that causes milk proteins to curdle, giving yoghurt its unique flavor and texture.
Yoghurt can be made from all types of milk. Varieties made from skim milk are considered fat-free, whereas those made from whole milk are considered full-fat.
Plain yoghurt without added colorants is a white, thick liquid with a tangy flavor.
Unfortunately, most commercial brands contain added ingredients, such as sugarand artificial flavors. These yoghurts are not good for your health.
Health Benefits
1. It’s reach in important nutrients
Yogurt provides almost every nutrient that your body needs. It is especially high in calcium, B vitamins and trace minerals.
2. It’s high in protein
Yogurt, especially the Greek variety, is very high in protein. Protein is helpful for appetite and weight control.
3. Some varieties may benefit Digestive health
Some types of yogurt contain probiotics, which may boost digestive health by reducing the symptoms of common gastrointestinal disorders, such as bloating, diarrhea and constipation.
4. It may strengthen your immune system
Yogurt provides probiotics, vitamins and minerals, all of which may boost immune health and prevent certain illnesses.
5. It may promote weight management
Yogurt is high in protein, which is very filling, and may improve your diet overall. Both of these aspects help with weight management.
6. It may benefit heart health
Regardless of its fat content, yogurt appears to benefit heart health by increasing “good” HDL cholesterol and reducing blood pressure.
7. It may protect against Osteoporosis
Yogurt contains some key nutrients for maintaining bone health, including calcium, protein, potassium, phosphorus and, sometimes, vitamin D.
Yogurt is rich in vitamins and minerals that play a key role in bone health. Consuming it regularly may reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
