After fermentation, yogurt acquires its own physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristics that make it a dairy product of great nutritional value and with certain beneficial effects. In a general way, these are some of the most interesting for our health:
Easy to digest : yogurts contain valuable proteins that are very useful for humans and have a higher digestibility than milk .
Source of calcium and other micronutrients : it is also an excellent source of vitamins of group A and B , and minerals such as zinc , phosphorus , magnesium and calcium . The latter is a mineral that is rapidly incorporated into the metabolism of bone tissue, contributing to the prevention of chronic pathologies such as osteoporosis , a disease that causes deterioration of bone tissue and can lead to an increased risk of fractures.
Low fat dessert : your caloric intake will depend on the amount of fat it contains, and if other ingredients have been added such as sugar , fruit , nuts, cereals, etc., but in the market we have many options, such as skimmed or the Greeks, low in fat.
Suitable for intolerant : the presence of lactose in yogurt is very small because it is transformed into lactic acid and, for this reason, people suffering from lactose intolerance usually can include it in their daily diet .
Probiotic contribution : apart from its nutritional value, due to the bacteria contained in yogurt naturally, one of its greatest achievements is its probiotic value (meaning "in favor of life"). In numerous scientific studies have been observed that, ingested in sufficient quantities, the microorganisms of yogurt collaborate in the digestion of lactose in those who are sensitive or intolerant, regulate the intestinal flora, protect against the taking of antibiotics , regulate the transit intestinal, have positive effects on diarrheal episodes and constipation , help the elimination of toxic and carcinogenic substances, and produce certain types of cells of the immune system .
Protector of the heart : especially for the hypertensive ones, it has been demonstrated that thanks to its contribution of calcium and probiotics the yogurt can help to reduce the levels of arterial pressure and to improve the contractions and relaxations of the heart, which contributes to diminish the risk of problems cardiovascular
Good for your eyes : a recent investigation has linked the habitual consumption of skimmed yogurt with a lower risk of suffering from cataracts .
Versatile in the kitchen : although we all place it as a tasty dessert, yogurt has more travel in the kitchen, since it can be used for example to make sauces to accompany our salads or meats, as a healthier alternative and less caloric than mayonnaise .
