But in recent years, food safety incidents have also made many friends worry about its health and safety, and they don't know how to choose good yogurt. Today, brother Wen will talk to you about some tips for choosing yogurt and try to stay away from the trap set by the merchants.
Know whether you are drinking yogurt or milk.
milk
As one of the oldest natural drinks, milk is also called human? White blood? It can also be seen that its nutritional value is high. Mainly extruded from female cows, there are quite a lot of varieties, such as pasteurized milk, normal temperature milk, reduced milk, non-resistant milk and buffalo milk. For example, normal temperature milk and sterilized milk are what we drink more every day. Different kinds of milk have different nutritional value, shelf life and storage environment. How to choose them depends on different needs. I won't tell you in detail here today!
yogurt
Yogurt is a kind of dairy product which takes fresh milk as raw material, adds beneficial bacteria (starter) to pasteurized milk, ferments, and then cools and fills. At present, most yogurt products on the market are solidified, stirred and fruity with various juices and jams. Compared with fresh milk, yogurt not only has all the famous nutrients of fresh milk, but also can make protein form tiny milk lumps. Calcium lactate produced by the combination of lactic acid and calcium is easier to digest and absorb.
Although the raw material of yogurt is milk, its nutrition and taste have changed after fermentation. After yogurt fermentation, the lactose in milk is decomposed in large quantities, which is more nutritious and easier to digest. Some yogurt containing probiotics can also improve intestinal function and help digestion and absorption.
At present, there will be such a problem in the market. In order to improve the taste, many dairy manufacturers often add sugar to yogurt, so the calorie of yogurt is higher than that of milk. For friends who are interested in losing weight, you need to pay attention to the daily consumption (a small box per day is better). Generally speaking, the nutritional difference between yogurt and milk is not too big, and everyone can choose according to their own preferences.
Choose the right way to choose yogurt.
We all know that there are many kinds of yogurt on the market, especially in recent years, all kinds of flavors are also dazzling for us to choose from. Many people often choose according to their own tastes, and the key point is that drinking well is the first. But from the health point of view, drinking yogurt only needs to know one truth: the less additives, the healthier it is, and we can compare and choose from four aspects:
1. Try to choose pure fermented yogurt instead of many additives? Flavored yogurt? . There are many additives in flavored yogurt, such as thickener, sweetener, emulsifier, essence and so on. , greatly reducing the nutrition.
2, look at the ingredients when buying yogurt, you should carefully look at the nutrition label. Mainly depends on the types and quality of nutrients in food. The more kinds, the higher the quality and the higher the nutritional value. However, those with high nutritional value are not necessarily suitable, and should be comprehensively selected according to their own needs and tastes.
3. Look at the strains Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, both lactic acid bacteria. Without these two kinds of bacteria, yogurt can't be made. Other probiotics, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium, will have stronger health care effect.
4. Look at the temperature. There are no live lactic acid bacteria in normal temperature yogurt. If you want to get the nutritional value and beneficial bacteria comparable to milk at the same time, you should choose yogurt stored at low temperature. If you just want to supplement protein and calcium, room temperature yogurt is also possible.

Although we know how to choose good yogurt, it is also very important to drink it correctly to be healthier. Next, let's talk about the small details that should be paid attention to:

If yogurt is boiled, beneficial living bacteria will become dead bacteria, which will make yogurt lose its unique health care function. Of course, don't take it with boiling water, so as not to kill Lactobacillus acidophilus or reduce its vitality.
Not suitable for drinking on an empty stomach.
If you drink yogurt on an empty stomach, the acidity of gastric juice is high at this time, Lactobacillus acidophilus will be killed or its vitality will be seriously reduced, and its nutritional value will be greatly reduced. Therefore, the most suitable time to drink yogurt should be within 2 hours after meals.
Not suitable for drinking with drugs.
It is best not to take medicine before and after yogurt, especially erythromycin, chloramphenicol, sulfonamides and other antibiotics, so as to avoid the killing or vitality decline of Lactobacillus acidophilus in yogurt. Another thing to note is that it is best not to drink strong tea before and after eating yogurt.
We all know that yogurt can accelerate the peristalsis and digestion of our intestines, remove the garbage accumulated in the intestines and lose excess fat. This yogurt adopts plateau free grazing pasture, and the milk source is pure and fresh. Through natural fermentation, its taste is pure.
