THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF YOGHURT WITH WEIGHT LOSS & BEAUTY SECRETS BOOST YOUR HEALTH
The health benefits of Yoghurt
Did you know that there are more bacteria in your body than there are human cells? The health benefits of yoghurt are many and yoghurt should be included in your diet.
Yoghurt, is milk to which cultures of bacteria are added. The bacteria consume the sugar in the milk for energy and excrete lactic acid which curdles the milk. Yoghurt that contains "active cultures" or live bacteria is the one that is brimming with health benefits.
Yoghurt has been used for centuries as a multi purpose healer but its only been in the last century that scientists have discovered just how beneficial yoghurt is.
About 70 percent of your body's immune cells reside in the gut, so it stands to reason that a healthy gastrointestinal tract means a healthy immune system. The live cultures found in certain yoghurts work by populating the gastrointestinal tract with friendly bacteria to ward off the bad bugs.
Here are some of the health benefits of yoghurt:
Protect the bladder- Yoghurt can assist women who suffer from urinary tract infections
Strengthen immunity- eating two tubs of live yoghurt a day can assist the immune system in fighting off germs
Combat Cancer- the acidophilus in yoghurt isn't a cancer cure but it has been shown to help prevent recurrences of tumours in people treated for bowel cancer
Builds strong bones- yoghurt is higher in calcium than milk
Yoghurt also improves I.B.S and digestion
*Don't assume all yoghurt products sold in the supermarket contain beneficial bacteria.
Look for yoghurts that display the words live, active or bio.
What else is yoghurt good for?
Athletes foot
Cold sores
Diarrhea

The health benefits of yoghurt are far and wide. Make yoghurt a part of your daily diet
