The popularity of yogurt in dairy products is second only to milk. Yogurt is rich in taste, and it can be drunk with original yogurt or mixed with fruit to make fruit milk, which is more popular with children.
As for cheese, it is a favorite dairy product in European and American people's lives. Some people are used to eating a few pieces of cheese when drinking, or putting cheese to flavor when cooking and barbecuing.
Everyone knows that dairy products are a good choice for calcium supplementation, so which dairy products have better calcium supplementation effect, milk, yogurt and cheese? This is not necessarily clear to everyone. Today, the nutritionist in the explosion nutrition class will talk to you about the choice of eating dairy products to supplement calcium.
From infants to teenagers, people in the period of physical development obviously need calcium supplementation to meet the needs of bone development. When adults are 30 years old, the calcium in the bones will gradually decrease. If you don't pay attention to calcium supplementation, you will have the risk of osteoporosis in your later years.
Milk is the most common food choice for calcium supplementation. Every 100 ml of milk contains calcium 104 mg. Although milk is not the food with the highest calcium content, besides calcium, milk is also rich in beneficial nutrients such as protein, vitamin B, potassium and phosphorus, and it is a food with high comprehensive nutrition.
Let's take a look at yogurt and cheese. Are they good choices for calcium supplementation?
Every 100 ml of plain yogurt can provide the body with 72 calories, containing calcium 1 18 mg, 2.5 g of protein and 2.7 g of fat;
Every100g of cheese can provide the body with 328 calories, 799 mg of calcium, 25.7 g of protein and 23.5 g of fat.
From the data alone, although the calcium content of cheese is surprisingly high, the calorie and fat content are equally exaggerated. Moreover, cheese is greasy, which is not suitable for Asian eating habits. Eating a small piece is fine, and eating too much will make you uncomfortable.
Therefore, although cheese contains high calcium, it is not a good choice for calcium supplementation. However, the calcium content and calories of yogurt are moderate. What is particularly commendable is that yogurt contains no lactose and is suitable for people with lactose intolerance to supplement calcium.
However, we should pay attention to the fact that there are many kinds of yogurt, so we should try to choose plain sugar-free yogurt instead of so-called fruity yogurt and flavored yogurt with a lot of sugar. After all, high sugar intake will not do much good to the body except affecting weight loss.
Generally speaking, most people can drink milk to supplement calcium, and patients with lactose intolerance can drink yogurt to supplement calcium, but pay attention to drinking sugar-free plain yogurt. Although cheese is high in calcium, it is also very high in calories and fat, so it is not suitable for eating in large quantities.
