Many people like to drink yogurt very much, especially in summer, a cup of cold yogurt can not only relieve the discomfort caused by high temperature, but also supplement various nutrients needed by the human body. It is a very suitable nutritional and health care product.

Yogurt is a fermented product of pure milk. Compared with pure milk, yogurt has a slightly higher nutritional value than pure milk. Both yogurt and pure milk are rich in calcium and protein, but yogurt has increased probiotics during the fermentation process, which is more suitable for lactose intolerant patients. The following describes the specific effects of yogurt.

1. Improve intestinal flora

Yogurt contains active lactic acid bacteria, which help the digestion of the gastrointestinal tract and can also regulate the normal flora of the intestinal tract. Yogurt can effectively inhibit the reproduction of spoilage bacteria in the intestinal tract, and at the same time can reduce the stimulation of the intestinal tract to the toxins produced by spoilage bacteria. At the same time, it has a certain inhibitory effect on some pathogenic bacteria.

2. Promote digestion and absorption

Yogurt contains organic acids and probiotics. These substances can not only promote gastric acid secretion and help food digestion, but also improve intestinal function and make it easier for the intestinal tract to absorb nutrients in food. Part of the protein in yogurt is decomposed and converted into a variety of amino acids and peptides, which are more easily digested and absorbed by the human body.

3. Good for gut health

Yogurt helps lactose degrade in the small intestine through a special process, which can solve the problem of lactose malabsorption, and has obvious benefits in avoiding diarrhea caused by lactose intolerance. At the same time, it can supplement probiotics, maintain the microecology of the intestinal tract, and has obvious benefits for regulating the microecology of the intestinal tract and promoting physical health.

It is best to keep homemade yogurt in the refrigerator in time. If you can’t eat it all at once, you should scoop out a portion of it with a clean spoon each time, and keep the rest in the refrigerator. It is recommended to keep it for no more than 3 days. With the prolongation of storage time, the yogurt will continue to shrink and separate out whey, and the taste will gradually deteriorate.
