Yogurt is a fermented dairy product that is a good source of high quality protein and also contains intestinal probiotics. More and more people are choosing to drink yogurt, and there are various flavors and brands of yogurt on the market for you to choose from.

Yogurt is made from whole or skim milk powder, sterilized milk and other raw materials, inoculated with lactobacilli and fermented by different processes. In this process, the lactose component is turned into lactic acid by lactic acid fermentation, while the fat will be hydrolyzed to varying degrees, the protein coagulates, and the free amino acids and peptides increase, which makes the protein's biomass value increase, and also doubles the content of folic acid. Yogurt is more easily digested and absorbed by the organism, and its content of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium bifidum, two types of intestinal probiotics, helps to maintain the normal flora of the intestinal tract.

Yogurt has its own unique flavor that is delicious and nutritious. Many older people have weakened gastrointestinal functions as they age and are often prone to constipation. Drinking yogurt regularly not only replenishes protein, but also relieves constipation.
