yoghurt.
BENEFITS:
1. Yogurt supplies almost every nutri-
ent that your body needs. It is
especially high in calcium, B vita-
mins and trace minerals.
2. The Greek variety of yogurt is very
high in protein. Protein is helpful for
appetite and weight control.
3. Some types of yogurt contain pro-
biotics, which help boost digestive
health by reducing the symptoms
of common gastrointestinal disor-
ders, such as bloating, diarrhea
and constipation.
4. Yogurt provides probiotics, vitamins
and minerals, all of which may
boost immune health and prevent
certain illnesses.
5. Consumption of yogurt may reduce
the risk of osteoporosis because of
its richness in vitamins and minerals
that play a key role in bone health.
6. Regardless of its fat content, yogurt
appears to benefit heart health by
increasing "good" HDL cholesterol
and reducing blood pressure.
7. Yogurt is high in protein, which is
very filling, and may improve your
diet overall. Both of these aspects
help with weight management.
8. Yogurt can be used against vagi-
nal yeast infection
9. Yogurt can help lower cholesterol.
Fatty, fried and sweet food prod-
ucts may cause high cholesterol
but this can be changed with the
use of yogurt. The good bacteria
that can be found in yogurt can
help in taking away and lowering
people’s cholesterol levels.
10. Yogurt is also good for the teeth.
Now this might come as a surprise
to a lot of people because most
people are not aware that yogurt
is actually good for the teeth.
Yoghurt can give protection from
cavities which is gotten from taking
in a lot of sweets and also neglect-
ing to brush the teeth twice a day.
The lactic acid in yogurt can help
in protecting not just the teeth but
also the gums.
