This is because the PH value of gastric acid in the human body is lower than 2 on an empty stomach. If you drink yogurt at this time, it is not conducive to the survival of lactic acid bacteria in yogurt, so that the effect of yogurt on promoting intestinal peristalsis is gone. But is this really the case?
In fact, whether the lactic acid bacteria in yogurt can promote intestinal peristalsis is still controversial in academic circles, so you don't have to worry that lactic acid bacteria can't survive in the stomach on an empty stomach. Aside from the role of lactic acid bacteria, the proportion of protein, fat and nutrients contained in yogurt is very reasonable. When the human body is on an empty stomach, drinking a cup of yogurt can play a very good role in padding the stomach, so as to avoid too long fasting time and too much gastric acid secretion, thus affecting the health of gastric mucosa.
