"True" yogurt contains an abundance of the friendly bacteria your body needs. These bacteria stay in your gastro intestinal tract for about 5-7 days after you eat unprocessed fermental yogurt. They work extremely hard to keep your digestive system, and your entire body, healthy.
These friendly bacteria provide Lactic Acid, which balances the production of acid in your stomach. This helps protect your stomach and intestinal lining, and makes it easier to digest your food. Lactic Acid also destroys certain types of bad bacteria in the bowel.
Yogurt also is a good source of Calcium,Vitamin B-12,B-2, Phosphorus, and Potassium.
NOW THE BAD NEWS:
Most of the yogurt products available at our grocery stores are made of too much sugar and artificial ingredients. Plus, most have been heat treated and placed on the shelves for a long time. Thus, losing the bacteria and it's effect on your intestinal tract.
BEST YOGURT
The very best and healthiest yogurt is to make it yourself. Mountain Home Solutions has created a Euro-Cuisine starter kit. This is an easy way to start making your own healthy yogurt. You can even add some excitement to your yogurt by adding some fresh fruit.
