I love food. It's wonderful. Am I a problem child in grocery stores? Most definitely. Everything looks good and I am probably always hungry. That being said, my go to snack is (drum roll please) yogurt. That answered seemed somewhat anticlimactic. Here is the girl that spent two and a half days making croissants and her favorite snack is yogurt. Foodie love is weird like that. Yogurt has quickly become one of my favorite things to eat. I love the creaminess, the wholesome nutrition, and the vast variety of flavors. Just mix a little trail mix and a chopped banana with yogurt and try it out. I promise you will fall in love with it.
10 Reasons Yogurt is a Top Health Food
Yogurt is not only scrumptious, it is also very good for you (hooray for tasty healthy foods!). According to the article "10 Reasons Yogurt is a Top Health Food", there are many reasons one should eat yogurt. I'm sure that there are nearly 1,000 reasons, but for times sake we will go over ten.
1. Yogurt is easier to digest than milk. This is important for me because slowly but surely I am becoming lactose-intolerant. Now the simplest milkshake puts my stomach in knots. Sometimes life is unfair. Anyways, yogurt can be eaten by individuals who are lactose intolerant because of the culturing process. The live active cultures in yogurt create lactase, which is the enzyme that lactose-intolerant individuals lack.
2. Yogurt contributes to colon health. Yogurt has these nifty active cultures in them. These active cultures are basically bacteria and that bacteria helps your colon stay happy and healthy.
3. Yogurt helps absorb other nutrients. The lactic acid in yogurt is useful in the breaking down of the milk calcium, which makes it easier for our bodies to absorb.
4. Yogurt can boost immunity. People with high levels of yogurt intake produce higher levels of immunity boosting interferon.
5. Yogurt helps heal the body after infections in the intestines. When the intestines are infected, the enzymes that help break down lactose are affected. Yogurt contains less lactose and more lactase, making it easier to digest
6. Yogurt can decrease yeast infections. Eating yogurt daily reduces the amount of yeast colonies in the vagina.
7. Yogurt is a rich source of calcium. Eight ounces of yogurt contains 450mg of calcium, this is 30-40% of the recommended daily amount of yogurt for an adult.
8. Yogurt is an excellent source of protein. Plain yogurt contains around ten to fourteen grams of protein per eight ounces, which amounts to twenty percent of the daily protein requirement for most persons.
9. Yogurt can lower cholesterol. This may be due to the active cultures in yogurt and yogurt binds to bile acids which have been shown to lower cholesterol.
10. Yogurt is a "grow food". Yogurt is vital for growing children because of the easier digestibility of the proteins and because lactic acid increases the absorption of minerals.
