About Yogurt
A common dairy product; good for snacks and breakfast.
Health Benefits of Yogurt
Contains live probiotics
Plain yogurt is milk fermented by lactic-acid bacteria and contains live cultures. These help maintain gut-microbiota balance and promote digestion and absorption. Choose products labelled 'active lactic-acid bacteria' for stronger live-culture activity.
Lower in lactose than milk
Fermentation converts part of the lactose into lactic acid, so yogurt is clearly lower in lactose than milk. Many lactose-intolerant people react less to yogurt, making it a good dairy alternative.
Calcium and protein are retained
Yogurt keeps milk's calcium and quality protein; after fermentation protein is partly predigested and calcium dissolves more readily in a mildly acidic environment. Each 100g plain yogurt is about 72 kcal, good as a snack or breakfast item.
