Yogurt is an extremely medicinal dairy product
Yogurt is a dairy product primarily perfect for diabetics because it has an ideal ratio of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. That’s why it keeps blood sugar levels stable. Just 28 grams of yogurt a day can facilitate glycoregulation (proven by Harvard scientists). Today we offer fruit yogurts, Greek yogurt, probiotic, with manna, fat-free, natural, organic, dietary, etc.
- Probiotic yogurt strengthens immunity – choose yogurt where it is written that it contains active (live) yogurt cultures because they have probiotic properties. These cultures normalize the work of the intestines, facilitate digestion, strengthen immunity, help the body absorb minerals and vitamins. Cultures are, in short, responsible for human health. Tip: you should know that not all yogurts have a probiotic culture. Yogurt should contain at least a million colonies per gram — to say that yogurt contains probiotic cultures.
- Yogurt contributes to weight loss-diet with yogurt speeds up metabolism and stimulates calorie burning. The caloric value of yogurt depends on the type of milk (whole, low-fat or skimmed), sweeteners and fruit in the production of yogurt. Least yogurt with less milk fat or artificially sweetened diet yogurt contains the least calories. Tip: limit portions. Even plain yogurt without sugar and fruit affects a person’s obesity if eaten in excessive amounts.
- Yogurt regulates blood pressure. The risk of hypertension is 31% lower with regular consumption of yogurt – say American scientists from the National Institute of Heart Health. An excellent recipe for prevention is one low-fat yogurt a day combined with physical activity.
- Fat in yogurt-total fat content is from 0 grams to 6 grams per 100 grams of yogurt. Full-fat yogurt has 3.5 grams of fat per 100 grams. Tip: although yogurt that contains more fat is healthier than ice cream, diabetics, for example, should choose yogurt with 0 gr-1gr of fat per 100 grams.
- The amount of sugar in yogurt – the amount of natural and additional sugar in yogurt varies considerably. Most yogurts with different flavors (for example yogurt with vanilla) are sweetened with sugar or some substitute. Read nutritional labels – when shopping. Choose yogurt that does not contain more than 7 grams of carbohydrates in 100 grams of product.
- Yogurt with less lactose – a person probably has a reduced ability to digest milk sugar (lactose) if after a milk meal a person feels trouble (bloating, cramps, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhea). Yogurt made in the traditional way (without the use of gelatin and thickener) contains 95% less lactose. This means that this yogurt can be consumed by all people including people intolerant to milk sugar and will not have side effects.
- The best choice is plain yogurt – plain yogurt with a reduced percentage of milk fat is the best choice. Additional carbohydrates (vanilla, berries, bananas, mangoes, peaches) or passion fruit buds can always be added to morning yoghurt for people who like exotic flavors. A morning meal prepared in this way can be enriched with whole grains.
- Delicious breakfast – mix grated apple, low-fat yogurt and low-fat muesli.
- Healthy treat – in a blender, mix low-fat Greek yogurt, banana. a little vanilla, honey or stevia.
- Ice pleasure – a mixture made of fat-free yogurt and fresh fruit pour into an ice cube mold and place in the freezer.
- Sauce for meat and salads-mix low-fat Greek yogurt, chopped cucumber, lemon juice, grated lemon zest and crushed garlic.
