Yogurt, Benefits, and Healthy Recipes

Yogurt is considered one of the most important foods in a meal, especially at breakfast. Yogurt (also known as yogurt, yogourt or yoghourt, although the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) only accepts the form 'yogur') is a dairy product obtained through the bacterial fermentation of milk. (Source: Wikipedia) This food provides a very large list of health benefits, and some of these are listed below: • Improves, restores, and heals intestinal flora. Its antimicrobial properties allow the evacuation of stomach contents, inhibiting undesirable microorganisms lodged in the stomach. • Maintains normal intestinal flora and urogenital microflora. • Improves the nutritional value of foods and resistance against pathogenic organisms. • Acts on the individual's natural resistance to infections. • Increases resistance to diseases: regular consumption of yogurt stimulates the immune system. • Very useful for people suffering from diarrhea, constipation, or gastrointestinal disorders. • Helps in cases of cardiovascular pathology. • Prevents osteoporosis at any age (yogurt provides 70% of the total calcium content in the diet, making this food an abundant natural source of calcium). • The lactic bacteria in yogurt enhance various immune functions, stimulating antitumor action, which delays (or prevents) the recurrence of cancer. In a person who regularly consumes natural yogurt, the risk of developing colon and breast cancer is reduced, and it also improves the quality of life in those already affected by it. • It is an excellent antihistamine: by cleansing the intestines, it reduces or eliminates allergies caused by a toxic organism. • Helps in cases of anorexia and bulimia; its high content of calcium and high-quality proteins, vitamins, and carbohydrates greatly restores the body's defenses. • Very useful for alcoholics, drug addicts, or people who have taken many medications. Yogurt in the diet is an almost mandatory treatment in many institutions. • Helps celiacs heal intestinal flora and better absorb nutrients. • For those intolerant to lactose, yogurt is a very beneficial option. • Prevents malnutrition and anemia.
