Yogurt (:

April 23, 2009

Reasons why you should eat yogurt daily:

1) Contributes to colon health- yoghurt contains lactobacteria that fosters a healthy colon, and lowers risk of colon cancer. And it has a rich source of calcium which discourages excess growth of the cells lining the colon, which can place a person at high risk of colon cancer.

2) Improves bioavailability of other nutrients- it increases the absorption of calcium and B-vitamins

3) Boost immunity- the bacterial cultures in yogurt stimulate infection-fighting white cells in the bloodstream.

4) Aids healing after intestinal infections

5) Decrease vaginal yeast infections

6) Excellent source of protein

7) Lower cholesterol

One 8 ounce cup of yogurt provides around 400mg of calcium, which is more than 300mg in an 8 ounce glass of milk.

Woohoooo! I eat yogurt daily because it’s really yummy and healthy, but didn’t realise there are so many benefits of yogurt until i read a medical article. So, make this dairy food a regular in your diet if possible!

*Yoplait Low Fat Strawberry Yoghurt is nice, even shannen used to give me the -_- look when i eat yogurt, but now, she’s crazily in love with yogurt*

      I recommend Yoplait Lite Strawberry flavour (1kg tub). Chop a few pieces of fresh strawberries, add in a cup of yogurt and if you like frozen yogurt, put it in the freezer for awhile before you consume it. Taste good! yums. Heard rave reviews about Evia Yogurt (bush honey flavour and passionfruit flavour), but they don’t sell it at the supermarkets here. Will hunt for it soon (: The webbie says, UQ sells it, but not too sure which shop. hmm. Try it and tell me if you like! (: (: (:
