Can I drink yogurt before eating?
Many people have heard that you can't drink yogurt before meals. There are three reasons: First, drinking yogurt on an empty stomach will waste protein; second, lactic acid bacteria will die under the condition of strong gastric acid, which will hinder its health care effect; third, lactic acid in yogurt will stimulate the stomach.  

In fact, yogurt can be drunk at any time except when you are particularly hungry. Drinking yogurt before meals can inhibit hunger to a certain extent, and can also supplement nutrition for the human body.

Ordinary sweet yogurt contains 7% sucrose and 3% lactose, and the protein content is only 2.5%. Therefore, protein will not be wasted by drinking yogurt on an empty stomach. Except when hunger is strong, the stomach before meals is not necessarily completely empty, and the gastric acid content is not necessarily high. Therefore, lactic acid bacteria may not be completely killed. Yogurt produced in China has low acidity and more sugar, and the protective effect of protein and colloid will not cause great stimulation to healthy people's stomachs. Therefore, for people with normal gastrointestinal function, drinking yogurt before meals does not hinder.

Who can't drink yogurt on an empty stomach?

But some people can't drink yogurt on an empty stomach, such as patients with hyperacidity and gastric ulcer. People who are prone to abdominal pain due to cold should not drink yogurt just taken out of the refrigerator. Keep it at room temperature and wait for half an hour before drinking it, so that they won't feel uncomfortable.  

The amount of yogurt consumed varies according to the situation. People with a normal diet should drink 1-2 cups of yogurt (250-500g) every day. For teenagers, it is ideal to have 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. But this does not mean that the consumption of yogurt cannot be increased. When you can't eat normally due to poor appetite, irregular diet, weak body and intestinal infection, you can drink more yogurt every day to absorb nutrients, adjust gastrointestinal function, improve body resistance and promote the recovery of intestinal infection.
