Yogurt is made of fresh milk that has been strictly sterilized, inoculated with lactic acid bacteria, added with sugar, then fermented, solidified and frozen, which has the following benefits to human health:
(1) Lactobacillus grows and reproduces in fresh milk at suitable temperature, and decomposes lactose in milk into lactic acid. Lactic acid can change the neutral or alkaline environment in the intestine into acidity, thus destroying and inhibiting the growth and reproduction of spoilage bacteria in the intestine, and protecting the human body from and alleviating the invasion of toxic substances. This is because the spoilage bacteria in the intestine can move a lot in neutral or weakly alkaline environment, which not only decomposes protein in the intestine, but also produces some toxic substances, such as indole, phenol and fecal odor. These toxic substances affect health, especially lead to premature aging of the nervous system.
(2) Yogurt can promote gastric peristalsis, stimulate gastric acid secretion, enhance the digestive ability of gastrointestinal tract and improve the metabolism of the body.
(3) In the process of growth and development, lactic acid bacteria can produce an antibiotic, which can inhibit and destroy the growth of many pathogenic bacteria, such as mycobacterium tuberculosis. Therefore, it has preventive and adjuvant therapeutic effects on some diseases.
(4) Lactic acid can increase the number of beneficial bacteria in the intestine and inhibit spoilage bacteria, so it can prevent toxic substances produced by decomposing protein by spoilage bacteria from accumulating in the body, thus preventing the occurrence of some cancers.
(5) Free amino acids and peptides in milk increased after lactic acid bacteria fermentation. The content of free amino acids is about 4 times that of milk, and the content of essential amino acids is about 4 times that of milk.
(6) After the milk is acted by lactic acid bacteria, its fat structure becomes easier to be digested and absorbed by human body. Among them, calcium becomes calcium lactate, which not only helps yogurt to form clots, but also makes calcium easily absorbed by human body, which is of great benefit to the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in the elderly.
(7) The contents of vitamins A, B 1, B2 and C in yogurt are similar to those in milk. However, the content of folic acid is 1 times higher than that of milk, and the content of choline is obviously increased, which has obvious effect on preventing fat oxidation and high cholesterol concentration in the body.
(8) Elderly people are prone to constipation due to decreased metabolic function, atrophy of colon and rectum, and decreased secretion of intestinal mucus. Yogurt has a laxative effect, so it has a preventive effect on senile constipation. In addition, yogurt is nutritious and easy to digest and absorb, so it is an ideal healthy food for the elderly.
Therefore, yogurt can make people healthy and live longer, and long-term enjoyment can prolong life.
honey
Honey is a sweet viscous liquid, which has the effects of nourishing and nourishing the middle warmer, moistening dryness, detoxicating and relieving pain. Bee milk has the effect of nourishing and strengthening, and can be used for the weakness of the elderly and the weakness after illness. Pollen has the functions of nourishing, strengthening, beautifying and anti-aging, and can also be used for neurasthenia and anemia.
Carbohydrates in honey account for 70% ~ 80% of the total components, among which fructose and glucose are the main components, accounting for 80% ~ 90% of the total, and the rest are sucrose and maltose. In addition, it also contains protein, amino acids, enzymes, organic acids, ethylphenol choline, vitamins A, B 1, B6, C, D, K, nicotinic acid, folic acid and trace elements such as copper, iron, manganese and nickel.
The main pharmacological effects of honey are as follows:
(1) Nourishing and strengthening effects: honey, royal jelly and pollen can promote growth and development, improve the ability of resisting hypoxia, high temperature and fatigue, and promote cell regeneration.
(2) Improving hematopoietic function: Oral administration or injection of royal jelly can improve the hematopoietic function of the body and increase the number of red blood cells, hemoglobin and platelets.
(3) Hypotensive effect: Royal jelly can dilate coronary artery and lower blood pressure.
(4) Hypolipidemic effect: Both royal jelly and propolis can reduce blood cholesterol.
(5) Excitatory effect: Because royal jelly has adrenocorticotropic hormone-like effect, it can stimulate the function.
(6) Antibacterial effect: Honey, royal jelly and propolis all have antibacterial effects. Propolis can inhibit staphylococcus aureus and broad bean bacteria, kill trichomonas vaginalis and resist influenza virus.
(7) Hypoglycemic effect: Royal jelly can reduce blood sugar. Although it is sweet, it will not make people fat like sugar.
(8) Anti-cancer effect: Royal jelly has a strong inhibitory effect on the growth of transplanted leukemia, lymphoma, breast cancer and various ascites cancers.
(9) Anti-ulcer effect: Both honey and bee milk have analgesic and anti-ulcer effects, and can be used to treat ulcer diseases.
(10) Regeneration and repair: Honey can promote the regeneration and repair process of injured tissues and promote the healing of injured tissues.
Because honey contains a variety of amino acids, vitamins and bioactive substances, these substances will be damaged to varying degrees at high temperature, so honey can not be boiled or taken with boiling water. The reasonable eating method is: take it with warm boiled water at 40 ~ 50℃, or take it with warm milk and soybean milk. In hot summer, you can mix cold boiled water with cold drinks.
