Yogurt is a dairy product that many people like to eat. She is nutritious, cool and refreshing, easily digested and absorbed, and eating yogurt often is good for health.
Yogurt can prevent constipation and bacterial diarrhea, and also help digestion. Yogurt contains live lactobacillus and lactic acid, which increases the acidity in the intestine and inhibits the reproduction of spoilage bacteria, prevents protein fermentation and reduces gas production in the intestine, thus alleviating symptoms such as fullness, bloating and indigestion.
Eating yogurt often can also prevent cardiovascular diseases in the elderly. Yogurt can lower cholesterol, which is a metabolite of human fat. With the increase of age and abnormal metabolism, the cholesterol in plasma will increase, resulting in "hypercholesterolemia". Regular consumption of yogurt can also moisturize skin, improve eyesight, strengthen teeth, strengthen hair and prevent cell aging.
Drinking yogurt often has many benefits.
Scientists have been studying the nutritional mechanism of yogurt for quite a long time. They put forward different nutritional hypotheses of yogurt, such as metabolite theory and living bacteria theory. But scientists still haven't found the exact answer about the nutritional mechanism of yogurt, but after their long-term research, they all agree that yogurt can bring at least the following benefits to human beings:
1. Adjust the balance of bacteria in the stomach. Yogurt can increase beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium, inhibit harmful flora, purify the stomach, reduce putrefaction in feces, stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, prevent constipation and reduce the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases.
Strengthen the absorption of calcium, reduce emotional anxiety and avoid osteoporosis. The calcium concentration in yogurt is high and easy to absorb, which is the best calcium source for human body.
3. It can relieve lactose intolerance caused by diarrhea when drinking milk, so people with milk candy can eat yogurt with peace of mind.
4. Excellent bactericidal power. In many scientific experiments, it has been proved that yogurt can reduce many intestinal bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, etc. In addition, yogurt has always been one of the folk remedies for vaginitis, and it has been confirmed by clinical experiments that eating yogurt can really prevent vaginal candida infection.
5. It can help the human body to produce some vitamins, inhibit the reproduction of some bacteria, improve human immunity and increase resistance to diseases.
It can fight cancer. So far, experiments on animals have found that Lactobacillus acidophilus and some bifidobacteria in yogurt can produce anticancer substances or reduce the incidence of cancer.
⒎ It can reduce the content of cholesterol in blood and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
⒏ Rich nutrients can promote the development of infants and adolescent students; Anti-aging, anti-aging, to prevent skin aging, beauty, weight loss are quite effective.
Pet-name ruby is helpful for the prevention and treatment of diabetes.
Yogurt is a long-lived drink.
According to the Nobel Prize winner and Russian food expert Mechnikov (1845- 19 16 years), the earliest research results of yogurt proved that yogurt contains a growth active factor, which can enhance the immune function of the body, and is beneficial to health, disease resistance and anti-aging. There are many longevity places in the world, and residents have the habit of drinking yogurt for a long time. Yogurt is beneficial to human health and longevity.
The reasons may be:
1.Yogurt can enhance human immune function;
2. Reduce the level of serum cholesterol. Experiments have proved that even without any drugs. After drinking about 24 grams of yogurt per meal, cholesterol can be reduced after one week.
3. Regular consumption of yogurt can promote intestinal movement, shorten the transit time of food from mouth to anus, soften the contents of glycolysis colon, increase fecal excretion, prevent constipation, and help prevent colon cancer. Therefore, yogurt is known as "longevity food" abroad.
Most of the sugar contained in milk is lactose. However, due to the lack of lactase in the digestive juice of some adults, the digestion, absorption and utilization of lactose are affected, resulting in stomach discomfort and even diarrhea after drinking milk, which is called "lactose intolerance". This is also the reason why many people don't drink milk. At this time, you can choose yogurt instead of milk without worrying about lactose. Yogurt contains lactic acid bacteria; Lactose in milk can be converted into lactic acid by lactobacillus fermentation, and lactose intolerant people will not have diarrhea symptoms when drinking yogurt, which just solves the problems that some people may have when drinking milk. However, it is worth noting that many yogurt drinks (instead of yogurt) are made of milk, water and sour agents. Such products may also contain lactic acid, which may also cause "lactose intolerance" symptoms.
Who should drink yogurt best?
1, patients with arteriosclerosis and hypertension
Some nutritionists have found that yogurt contains a kind of "milk factor", which can reduce serum cholesterol in human body. Calcium lactate in yogurt is easily absorbed by human body. Some people have done experiments, drinking 720 grams of yogurt every day can significantly reduce serum cholesterol after one week.
2, cancer patients
Lactobacillus bifidus in yogurt produces acetic acid, lactic acid and formic acid during fermentation, which can inhibit nitrate-reducing bacteria and block the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines, thus playing a role in preventing cancer. Some countries with developed dairy industry in Europe believe that "a cup of yogurt a day keeps women from worrying about breast cancer".
3. Elderly and infirm patients
Lactic acid bacteria in yogurt can decompose lactose in milk to form lactic acid, make intestinal tract acidic, inhibit spoilage bacteria that grow and reproduce in neutral or alkaline environment, and also synthesize nutrients such as vitamin B, folic acid and vitamin E necessary for human body, which is rich in protein and vitamin A itself, which is very beneficial to the elderly and weak.
4, the use of antibiotics
Antibiotics control pathogenic bacteria while non-pathogenic bacteria are also suppressed, which can lead to loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, etc., and even lead to another infectious disease. Yogurt contains active Mycobacterium longum, which can make the gastrointestinal flora imbalance regain balance.
5. Patients with osteoporosis
Yogurt contains calcium lactate which is easily absorbed by people. This will increase the calcium of patients, which is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.
Drinking yogurt often has many benefits.
Yogurt is made by homogenizing fresh milk after pretreatment, instantly sterilizing at ultra-high temperature or keeping temperature at 95℃ for 5 minutes, cooling, inoculating starter containing Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, keeping temperature at 42℃ for 2-4 hours, stopping fermentation when the acidity reaches 70-800t, cooling, filling, and refrigerating at 5℃ for a period of time (generally 8-10 hour). According to the fat content in the finished product, it is divided into full-fat yogurt, semi-defatted yogurt and defatted yogurt; According to health characteristics, it is divided into ordinary yogurt and special yogurt, such as bifid yogurt and probiotic yogurt; According to the processing technology, it is divided into solidified yogurt and stirred yogurt; The stirred yogurt is divided into strawberry, pineapple, yellow peach and other different varieties because of the different kinds of added fruits.
Yogurt, in a sense, is the pre-digestion of milk components, such as lactose, protein and fat, which produce bioactive peptides, free amino acids and free fatty acids; At the same time, the amount of soluble calcium and phosphorus increased, and some B vitamins were synthesized, so the nutritional value was improved compared with ordinary milk. Moreover, it is more suitable for patients with lactose intolerance. In addition, yogurt has more health effects:
First of all, drinking yogurt often plays an auxiliary role in the treatment of stomach diseases: yogurt contains a lot of digestible protein, and its buffering capacity is high; Make the gas disappear and increase the comfort of the stomach; For people with gastric acid deficiency, drinking 500 ml of yogurt every day can restore health.
Secondly, drinking yogurt often can relieve chronic constipation. Scientific research shows that 20% of women suffer from defecation, and 50% of men suffer from it. If left alone, it may cause intestinal cancer. If yogurt is mixed with dietary fiber, it can prevent defecation. For example, long-term consumption of yogurt with honey or yogurt with vegetables, strawberries and tomatoes has a good effect on relieving chronic constipation.
Third, yogurt is especially suitable for diabetics. Diabetic patients are prone to complications such as nephropathy, neurological disorders and eye diseases. Yogurt is suitable for diabetic patients because of its high nutritional value and easy digestion and absorption. However, diabetic patients should pay attention to avoid drinking yogurt with honey, glucose and sucrose. It is best to eat light yogurt, or carrot yogurt and wheat germ yogurt.
Fourth, yogurt has a certain auxiliary effect on the treatment of liver disease. In order to restore the vitality of liver cells, we must eat high-quality protein and vitamins. Yogurt contains high-quality protein, which is easy to digest, and contains 0.2mg vitamin B2 per100g, so it has good protection for the liver. In addition, yogurt can inhibit the proliferation of spoilage bacteria in the intestine, so that the advantage of lactic acid bacteria can be created in the intestine, thus reducing the burden on the liver.
Fifth, yogurt can relieve lactose intolerance. Lactic acid bacteria have partially decomposed lactose in milk during fermentation, which reduces the lactose content in yogurt by about 20~30%.
Sixth, yogurt has other special nutritional functions. First of all, it uses lactic acid bacteria to reproduce and produce acid, so that protein in milk is coagulated and denatured, which is more conducive to human digestion and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, the proteolytic enzymes of lactic acid bacteria also degrade protein in milk to a certain extent, which increases the content of free amino acids. Secondly, lactic acid in yogurt can also enhance the absorption of calcium to human body and other elements. Moreover, microorganisms in yogurt can also synthesize a large number of B vitamins during metabolism. Studies have shown that the contents of vitamin B2, vitamin B6, folic acid and biotin in yogurt are all increased by 20% compared with raw milk. Lactose in yogurt is decomposed into galactose and glucose, and galactose is the raw material for forming cerebrosides and galactosides in brain and nerve tissues, so lactose is called brain marrow food.
