when is the best time to drink yogurt <; br> 1. Drink yogurt in the morning to absorb nutrition. Morning is the time when nutrition is most needed, but you can't drink it on an empty stomach. You can mix it with some coarse grains, bread and eggs, which can effectively absorb the nutrients in yogurt. < br> 2. Drink yogurt to supplement calcium at night. According to research, yogurt is a good source of calcium in food. From the point of view of calcium supplementation, drinking yogurt at night is more beneficial. According to experts, the blood calcium content of human body is the lowest from 12 o'clock in the evening to early morning, which is beneficial to the absorption of calcium in food. At the same time, there are fewer factors affecting calcium absorption in human body during this period. Although milk also contains high calcium, compared with it, lactic acid contained in yogurt can combine with calcium to promote calcium absorption. < br> 3. Drink yogurt two hours after meals. When you drink yogurt after meals, the gastric juice is diluted and the ph value rises to 3-5. This environment is very suitable for the growth of lactic acid bacteria, especially when you drink yogurt within 2 hours after meals, the effect is the best. < br> Tip: <; br> 1. Don't drink yogurt on an empty stomach. Usually, the ph value of human gastric juice is between 1 and 3, and the pH value on an empty stomach is below 2, while the pH value of active lactic acid bacteria in yogurt is above ph5.4. If you drink yogurt on an empty stomach, lactic acid bacteria will be easily killed by gastric acid, and its nutritional value and health care function will be greatly reduced. < br> 2. Don't heat yogurt. If the temperature is too high, the beneficial bacteria in yogurt will lose their activity. If you buy yogurt for several days at a time, you should keep it in the freezer. The shelf life of yogurt is generally only 7-14 days. < br> Brush your teeth when you drink yogurt before going to bed at night. If you drink yogurt before going to bed at night, drink it at least one hour before going to bed, and remember to brush your teeth in time after drinking, otherwise some bacteria and acidic substances in yogurt will do some damage to your teeth. < br> Yogurt: How much is appropriate to drink every day <; br> People with a normal diet should drink 1-2 cups of yogurt (25-5g) every day. For teenagers, a cup of yogurt in the morning and evening, or a cup of milk in the morning and a cup of yogurt in the evening are the most ideal. If you can't eat normally due to poor appetite, irregular diet, weak body and intestinal infection, you can appropriately increase the consumption of yogurt every day to absorb the nutrients, adjust the gastrointestinal function, improve the body's resistance and promote the recovery of intestinal infection. < br> Some people especially like yogurt, and often drink a lot of yogurt after meals, which may cause weight gain. This is because yogurt itself contains a certain amount of energy, and drinking yogurt after meals is equivalent to taking in extra energy, which may cause weight gain. Therefore, people who especially like to drink yogurt after meals should pay attention to reducing their food intake or other snacks and fruits to achieve a balance of energy supply. < br> Six misunderstandings of yogurt <: br> Myth 1: Yogurt is not equal to Yogurt Drink <; br> Yogurt and yogurt drinks are two different things. According to experts from Sichuan Nutrition Society, in fact, there are still some misunderstandings about yogurt among modern people. Yogurt is made of high-quality milk fermented by lactic acid bacteria, which belongs to the category of milk in essence. Yogurt drink, however, is just a kind of drink, not milk, and the nutritional content of the two is very different. According to the regulations of dairy industry, 1 grams of yogurt requires protein content ≥2.9 grams, while the protein content of yogurt beverage is only about 1 gram. Yogurt beverage can be used to relieve summer heat and quench thirst. It has certain nutritional value while quenching thirst, but it can never replace milk and yogurt. < br> Myth 2: Yogurt can be drunk as a drink at will <; br> Yogurt can't be a snack, just drink it casually. Nutrition experts believe that this is also a misunderstanding. Drinking yogurt should pay attention to moderation, otherwise it will easily lead to hyperacidity, affect the secretion of gastric mucosa and digestive enzymes, and reduce appetite. Especially those who usually have too much stomach acid, often feel spleen and stomach deficiency and abdominal distension, and should not drink more. For healthy people, it is more suitable to eat about 25-5 grams a day. < br> Myth 3: Yogurt is more nutritious than milk <; br> From the point of nutritional value, the difference between them is not very big. However, compared with milk, yogurt is easier to digest and absorb, which improves its nutrient utilization rate. In addition, most of the sugar contained in milk is lactose, and some adults lack lactase in digestive juice, which affects the digestion, absorption and utilization of lactose, causing stomach discomfort and even diarrhea after drinking milk, which is called "lactose intolerance". At this time, yogurt can be used instead of milk. If you have lactose intolerance, if you drink milk with some starchy food, you can also alleviate this symptom. < br> Myth 4: Yogurt can be eaten at will <; br> Yogurt goes well with many foods, especially breakfast with bread and snacks, which is not only delicious but also nutritious. Yogurt should not be taken with certain drugs, such as chloramphenicol, erythromycin and other antibiotics, sulfonamides and so on, which can kill or destroy lactic acid bacteria in yogurt. But yogurt is very suitable for eating with starchy foods, such as rice, noodles, steamed buns, steamed bread, bread and so on. < br> Myth 5: Drinking more yogurt can lose weight <; br> Yogurt contains a large number of active lactic acid bacteria, which can effectively regulate the balance of flora in the body, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and thus relieve constipation. Studies have shown that long-term constipation has a certain relationship with weight gain. Yogurt also has a certain sense of fullness. Drinking a cup when you are slightly hungry can effectively alleviate your urgent appetite, thus reducing the amount of meals for the next meal. But yogurt itself also contains a certain amount of calories. If you eat more on the basis of the original diet, there will also be a risk of weight gain. The best way is to choose yogurt marked with defatted and low-calorie words. Although their taste is not as rich and mellow as full-fat yogurt, the calories will be lower and it will not easily lead to obesity. < br> Myth 6: Yogurt can't be heated <; br> Many people think that yogurt can't be heated to drink, for fear that the most valuable lactic acid bacteria in yogurt will be killed after heating, and the taste and taste will change, and its nutritional value and health care function will also be reduced. In fact, only by heating yogurt to a slight temperature, the lactic acid bacteria in yogurt will not be killed, but will increase the activity of lactic acid bacteria, and its unique health care function will be even greater. You can put the yogurt bag or cup in warm water at about 45℃ and slowly heat it. When it shakes with the heating, you can drink it if you feel it is mild. Drinking a cup of warm yogurt in cold winter will definitely taste better. < br>
