Yogurt helps digestion, and it is best to drink it after meals.
Yogurt is made from fresh milk fermented by lactic acid bacteria. Yogurt has the following nutritional values:
(1) Increase the absorption of nutrients: Yogurt not only retains all the nutrients of raw milk, but also makes protein and lactic acid form fine coagulated milk, which can increase the digestion and absorption rate. At the same time, the calcium absorption rate in yogurt is higher than that in fresh milk.
(2) High vitamin C content: Some lactic acid bacteria can synthesize vitamin C, so the vitamin C content in yogurt is high.
(3) High lactic acid content: Lactic acid bacteria can decompose lactose in milk to form lactic acid, so it is more suitable for people who lack lactase and are prone to diarrhea after drinking fresh milk. Some people with gastric acid deficiency can improve their appetite and digestion by eating yogurt.
(4) It has a certain health care function: lactic acid bacteria can not only produce organic acids in yogurt, but also produce antibacterial substances, which can inhibit the reproduction of spoilage bacteria in the intestine and reduce the toxins produced by spoilage bacteria in the intestine, thus playing a better health care role. And has certain anti-aging effect.
The health care function of yogurt is also shown in the following aspects: ① Acetic acid is the metabolite of yogurt and bifidobacteria in the intestine, which can reduce the pH value of the intestine, inhibit harmful bacteria and achieve the purpose of preventing diseases; ② The high content of choline in yogurt can reduce cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular diseases; ③ Bifidobacterium yogurt was used to treat infantile diarrhea without side effects; (4) Drinking yogurt containing Bifidobacterium for postoperative cancer patients can make the microorganisms in the intestine normal, which is beneficial to the smooth progress of chemotherapy.
Fresh milk has a soothing effect, and it is best to drink it half an hour before going to bed.
