1. Look at the ingredients list first.
If you want to buy healthy yogurt, you must learn to read the ingredient list. A simpler method is to remember the three ingredients of "raw milk, sugar and lactic acid bacteria". If there are only these three elements in the ingredient list, it means that it is healthy yogurt without food additives.
"Bulgaria Bacillus, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus acidophilus", these three kinds of lactic acid bacteria must be added. In addition, some manufacturers will add other strains beneficial to human body, such as "Bifidobacterium lactis". As long as the suffix is "bacteria", they are all lactic acid bacteria, which is good for health.
In addition, in order to obtain higher protein content, some yogurts will add "protein powder", such as "whey protein powder, concentrated milk protein powder" and so on.
Others such as "pectin and agar" are food additives, so try not to buy them.
There is a simpler and ruder method, which is to look at the length of the ingredient list. The shorter, the simpler the composition.
2. Look at the production date again
Everyone knows that the closer the production date is, the fresher the description will be.
3. Look at the storage environment
In addition, pay attention to the placement environment of yogurt. Low-temperature yogurt has live bacteria, and live bacteria can live better at 2-6 degrees, so you must buy yogurt in the refrigerator.
In addition, try to choose a store with a large flow of people, so that the storage period of yogurt is short and healthier.
PART 2 Advanced knowledge of purchasing yogurt In addition to some basic methods of selecting yogurt, you can also advance on this basis-choose healthier yogurt.
We recommend two kinds here, one is goat yogurt and the other is "minimalist" yogurt.
1. Healthy goat yogurt
Compendium of Materia Medica records that goat milk is warm and has a strong nourishing effect, but after being made into yogurt, it has more health care significance than ordinary cow yogurt:
① The nutritional value is high.
Goat milk is rich in immune proteins and various nutrients, and its proportion structure is the closest to that of breast milk. Known as the "king of milk", it can enhance the body's resistance and is especially suitable for the weak.
The total vitamin content is higher than that of milk, in which the vitamin C content is twice as high as that of milk, the niacin content is 2.5 times as high as that of milk, and the vitamin D content is nearly 13 times as high as that of milk.
The total amount of trace elements in goat milk is 7 times that of milk.
The content of calcium and phosphorus in goat milk is also higher than that in milk, and the ratio of calcium and phosphorus is appropriate, which is better for people with calcium and phosphorus deficiency and growing children.
Casein and albumin in goat's milk are complete proteins, which contain 8 kinds of amino acids necessary for human body. According to the determination, the total amino acid content in goat milk is 3% higher than that in milk. Among 17 amino acids, 13 amino acids are higher than those in milk.
2 maintenance of the stomach.
Goat milk is getting warmer and warmer. Modern medicine has also proved that the curd particles formed by goat milk in the stomach are soft, alkaline and gentler, which has a great buffering effect and makes the stomach more comfortable.
In addition, the carbon chain of goat milk fat globules is short, which is 1/3 of that of milk. Small diameter, uniform size, easy to digest and absorb, and not easy to gain weight after long-term drinking.
In addition, goat milk also contains epidermal growth factor EGF, which can promote cell regeneration and has health care significance for the stomach.
3 beauty and beauty.
According to legend, aristocratic women in the Tang Dynasty loved to take a bath with goat's milk and flowers to maintain their skin.
Modern medicine has proved that goat milk is rich in epidermal growth factor EGF and superoxide dismutase SOD. The former can promote the regeneration of epidermal cells, while the latter has the functions of anti-aging and immunomodulation.
Theoretically speaking, EGF and SOD have certain effects on beauty beauty, which can prevent skin aging and moisturize the skin.
Therefore, compared with cow yogurt, sheep yogurt is more nutritious and can protect the stomach, so it is a better yogurt choice.
2. "Minimalist" yogurt, as the name implies, is yogurt with very simple ingredients: only raw milk and lactic acid bacteria.
Eating too much sugar will be a burden to the human body, and this kind of yogurt can give you the nutritional value of raw milk and lactic acid bacteria, while reducing the intake of sugar, so it is healthier and can be drunk by diabetics and dieters.
But because there is no sugar to reconcile, the taste will be worse.
Finally, briefly talk about the benefits of drinking yogurt: supplementing nutrition, nourishing the stomach and improving immunity. So if you can, you can have a drink every day.
