Yogurt is a good food, but only if you like information technology. I don't believe in eating something that doesn't entreatment to you just considering it's good for you.

With that said, some refrigerated yogurts contain live, active cultures of "good" bacteria. Some studies suggest these healthy bacteria may boost the allowed arrangement and forestall gastrointestinal infections. They also break down lactose, making yogurt a sensible dairy selection for people who are lactose-intolerant. And, you can even make yogurt at home.

Eating yogurt every mean solar day can besides help y'all to get another dairy serving: 8 ounces counts every bit one serving. Just make sure to read the label. Many yogurts are now bachelor in 4- and half dozen-ounce containers. Y'all'll demand to take this into business relationship as you track your daily dairy consumption.
