As you are walking through your local grocery store do you ever wonder why yogurt is pushing other dairy products aside more and more? Is it because people are finding more uses for yogurt than say, cottage cheese or sour cream? Maybe, but these products have been around for years and I highly doubt people are changing there opinion about usage or taste all of a sudden. The answer lies in the fact that consumers are slowly waking up to the health benefits of this dairy delight.
For starters, whether you like it or not, your stomach (AND entire digestive system) are chocked full of bacteria. Bad, right? Not hardly. Without some of these bacterias your body would be incapable of digesting or absorbing the food you eat. THATS whats bad. You cant get rid of bacteria in your stomach, it will always be there. What you CAN do is make sure the right balance of good bacteria and bad bacteria is maintained in your system. One excellent way to do this is eating yogurt on a regular basis.
When choosing yogurt, look for the most natural kind. Try to stay away from the ones that are loaded with sugar and chemicals. Also be sure it says “Live and active cultures” on the container. These are the good bacteria mentioned earlier. For best results, try to consume one serving of yogurt daily.
Yogurt can be eatin by itself, with fruit, on a waffle or pancake, in smoothies, topped with nuts and many other tasty creations. ENJOY!
