First of all, yogurt is more nutritious than milk.
Yogurt is fermented from pure milk. Lactic acid bacteria can not only retain all the nutrients of fresh milk, but also produce various vitamins necessary for human nutrition during fermentation, such as vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B 12, etc.
Yogurt is also a good source of calcium. Although the nutritional content of yogurt depends on the source and composition of raw milk, generally speaking, the composition of yogurt is higher than that of raw milk, on the one hand, because the quality of raw materials is high, on the other hand, because some yogurt is made with a small amount of milk powder. Therefore, generally speaking, drinking a cup of yogurt of15og a day can meet the daily calcium requirement of children under 10.
Second, yogurt is easier to absorb than milk.
Flour fermented into steamed bread is easy to digest and absorb, and milk fermented into yogurt has the same effect. About 20% of sugar and protein in milk are broken down into small molecules, such as galactose and lactic acid, small peptide chains and amino acids.
The fat content in milk is generally 3% ~ 5%. After fermentation, the fatty acids in milk can be increased by 2 times compared with raw milk. These changes make yogurt easier to digest and absorb, and the utilization rate of various nutrients is also improved. Especially for people with lactose indigestion, eating yogurt will not cause abdominal distension, flatulence and diarrhea.
Fresh milk is rich in calcium, and minerals such as calcium will not change after fermentation, but lactic acid produced after fermentation can effectively improve the utilization rate of calcium and phosphorus, so calcium and phosphorus in yogurt are more easily absorbed by human body.
