yUmMy YOguRT~~


Salam and hello to everyone..


Here I would like to share with all of you on topic of ‘Yummy Yogurt” which is on of my favorites. Have you noticed that the yogurt section of most grocery stores has practically taken over the dairy aisle? It’s getting harder to find more traditional dairy foods, such as cottage cheese and sour cream, amid the sea of yogurt options. But it only makes sense that a food with as many health benefits as yogurt be given prime real estate in the supermarket.


And just what are the health benefits of yogurt? For your information, it’s benefit beyond the nutritional.


First off, our body needs to have a healthy amount of ''good'' bacteria in the digestive tract, and many yogurts are made using active, good bacteria. One of the words you’ll be hearing more of in relation to yogurt is ''probiotics.'' Probiotic, which literally means ''for life,'' refers to living organisms that can result in a health benefit when eaten in adequate amounts.
In fact, the health benefits of yogurt are so impressive that many health-conscious people make it a daily habit. Here are five possible health benefits of having a yogurt a day. Firstly, yogurt may help prevent of osteoporosis. 'Adequate nutrition plays a major role in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, and the micronutrients of greatest importance are calcium and vitamin D. As we know, yogurt is enriching with calcium and also vitamins.

Next, it is essential to be consumed as it may reduce high blood pressure. An observation have done shown that 50% reduction in the risk of developing high blood pressure among people eating 2-3 servings of low-fat dairy a day (or more), compared with those without any intake of it. Although it is mentioned that the samples are taking low-fat dairy in this research, but low-fat yogurt is also include in it. Thirdly, yogurt with active cultures helps the gut and may solve many gastrointestinal conditions such as lactose intolerance, constipation, diarrhea, colon cancer, and inflammatory bowel system. Besides, active cultures in yogurt may discourage of vaginal infection which a common problem among the diabetes women. Another benefit is yogurt may help you feel fuller. Those who had the yogurt snacks did not eat fewer calories at the next meal and it resulted in lower hunger ratings and higher fullness ratings than either of the other snacks. Thus, yogurt makes a perfect snack!

Eventually, I hope that all of you got some new information and starts to find yogurt right now!!! Hmm..yummy yogurt… (‘’,)

With that..I thank you.. =]

All the best for exam!!!
