Drinking yogurt at night is more beneficial to your health
The lactic acid contained in yogurt helps the body's intestines and stomach to peristalsis at night, so drinking it at night not only won't lead to indigestion, but also helps to prevent constipation. Drink yogurt about two hours after dinner, do not drink yogurt on an empty stomach. Because the lactobacilli in yogurt are easy to be killed by the stomach acid, the health effect of yogurt will be weakened
Generally speaking, drinking yogurt between one hour and two hours after the meal is the best effect. Under normal conditions, the PH value of gastric juice is between 1-3; when you are fasting, gastric juice is acidic and the PH value is below 2, which is not suitable for the growth of active lactic acid bacteria in yogurt. Only when the pH value of the stomach is relatively high, can the lactic acid bacteria in yogurt grow fully, which is good for health. About two hours after the meal, the person's gastric juice is diluted, the PH value will rise to 3-5, this time to drink yogurt, to absorb the nutrients in it is most favorable.
Additionally, if you drink yogurt on an empty stomach, it's easy to stimulate the gastrointestinal tract to empty, and the nutrients in the yogurt can't be thoroughly digested and absorbed before it's discharged; drinking it after a meal reduces the stimulation, and lets the yogurt be absorbed slowly in the stomach.
