Does yogurt help your body?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Yes, it has acidophilus, which is very good, also high in calcium

Answer 3

- One 8-ounce cup of plain low-fat yogurt provides around 400 milligrams (mg) of calcium, more than the 300 mg in an 8-ounce glass of milk.

- Yogurt also has as much potassium as a banana and as much protein as an egg or ounce of meat.

- The live bacteria in yogurt help in digestion and protect you against other harmful bacteria.

In fact, some of yogurt's health reputation relies on presence of live bacteria. To make yogurt, warm milk is fermented or cultured with two types of bacteria -- Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. Although many bacteria can make you sick, these bacteria are beneficial. They can help break down the lactose (sugar naturally occurring in milk), making yogurt more digestible than milk for people with lactose intolerance.

Some yogurt makers heat the yogurt after it's cultured to increase the shelf life or reduce tartness, but kill the bacteria in the process. When shopping, look for the official National Yogurt Association's seal on the container that says "Live and Active Cultures." Another shopping tip: choose a brand that's low in calories and fat with as few additives as possible.
