Yogurt contains a lot of probiotics. In the morning, the stomach is empty, and the concentration of gastric acid is relatively high, which has a bactericidal effect. Probiotics in yogurt are easily destroyed by gastric acid and lose their due value.

And yogurt can stimulate gastric acid secretion. If there is no food to neutralize gastric acid at this time, it may lead to gastritis, gastric ulcer and other diseases in the long run.

Therefore, it is best not to drink yogurt containing probiotics on an empty stomach, and it is better to drink it after meals.
