China people's diet is westernized, and the trend of eating yogurt is getting stronger. After all, apart from its unique delicacy, what charm can yogurt have to capture people's hearts? From a health point of view, Ni, a nutritionist at Changhua Christian Hospital, believes that at least the following four points can be discussed:
1. Supplementing protein in Quality Food Sources:
Yogurt is a kind of dairy product with high nutritional density, which is rich in micronutrients such as protein and calcium. Yogurt is considered to be used to prevent weight gain and heart metabolism related diseases. Protein is one of the three major nutrients in food, which is related to the production of heat, the construction and repair of tissues, the synthesis of enzymes and hormones, and the promotion of human growth and development.
According to the new version of the daily dietary guidelines published by the national health agency in 20 18, the dairy products in six categories of food are newly compiled as yogurt, and each 1 serving of dairy products = yogurt 2 10g, which contains about 8g of protein.
2. Rich probiotics can protect the intestines;
Intestine is not only a well-known digestive system, but also the largest immune system of human body. At the same time, there are many good bacteria and bad bacteria, and the ideal state is peace. Once beneficial bacteria and bad bacteria confront each other and are out of balance, it will indirectly affect the health of the body. Intake of probiotics is considered to have health benefits such as improving gastrointestinal function, reducing blood lipid and cardiovascular diseases.
Studies have pointed out that for school-age children, one group is supplemented with probiotics every day, while the other group is not completely given probiotics. After a period of time, it was found that the symptoms of fever, cough, runny nose and truancy in the experimental group with probiotics were significantly lower than those in the control group without probiotics. Yogurt is called "super food" and is one of the excellent sources of probiotics.

For many women, the biggest complaint about eating yogurt is "improving the weight loss effect", but is this method really effective? Nutritionist Ni said that according to systematic literature review, the intake of yogurt is negatively correlated with waist circumference change, weight change, overweight and obesity risk and metabolic disease risk, but the results of each experiment are not necessarily identical or statistically significant. Even so, at present, most studies still hold the position of "support", thinking that moderate intake of yogurt may help to control weight and improve metabolic diseases.
