There are many types and brands:
Yoghurt is available in supermarkets worldwide. From low-fat to full-fat, flavoured to fruit, each promotes a range of unique features and health benefits. This article explores yoghurt’s healthy upsides and how to spot the not-so-healthy options.
Probiotics For Gut Health.
What’s inside: Yogurt, especially natural and Greek varieties, is packed with probiotics – beneficial bacteria that support gut health and boost immunity. Why does this matter? These friendly microbes improve digestion, enhance nutrient absorption, and maintain a balanced gut microbiome (which are microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses that live in or on a particular part of the body).
Yogurt contains Calcium:
Strengthens bones and gives a calcium boost because yogurt is a rich source of calcium, which is essential for bone strength and overall health. Beyond Bones: Calcium also plays a role in muscle function, blood circulation, and hormone release.
Yogurt Has Vitamins Galore.
One of the vitamins contained in dairy yogurts is vitamin B12 (Riboflavin) which aids energy conversion, metabolism, and cell function. Yogurt is also enriched with vitamin ‘D’ crucial for bone health
It Also Contains Potassium
A mineral that regulates fluids, supports nerve function, and helps maintain healthy blood pressure
Yogurt Has A Protein Punch,
The amino acids in yogurt contribute to muscle and bone repair and Greek yogurt is even higher in protein
If You’re Lactose Intolerant,
Studies show that the friendly bacteria found in yoghurt actually help break down some of the lactose, making it easier to digest than other dairy foods. However, it’s still a good idea to start with a small amount of yoghurt, see how you get on and stop if you feel uncomfortable.
If you have a cows milk allegy
As it is primarily a dairy product. People with milk allergies may have a severe reaction to eating even a small amount of yoghurt.
Not all yogurts are equal:
While natural yogurts offer these health benefits, be cautious with flavoured or high-sugar options. Read labels and choose wisely, and remember, yogurt isn’t just a tasty treat—it’s a nutritional powerhouse!
