Excellent Calcium Source

Yogurt is so rich in calcium that it can already satisfy 50% of child’s calcium RDA and 30% to 40% of adult’s calcium RDA. This can be achieved by merely having 8 oz. of yogurt everyday. Studies have discovered that yogurt may actually be a better option than milk. It is because yogurt does not only add more calcium to the daily diet but also allows the body to absorb it more efficiently. In effect, it is easier to prevent osteoporosis because proper bone mass is maintained.

Prevention and Cure for Yeast Infection

Candida or yeast infection is a common problem for women, especially those who have diabetes. Yogurt with active culture is an effective way to fight yeast infection and maintain the ideal pH level. It is just important that those who have diabetes should opt for no-sugar or aspartame-sweetened yogurt.

Delicious Way to Diet

Have you always wanted to lose weight? Then, yogurt may be your ticket to take those extra pounds off your body. Among the yogurt health benefits is weight loss because it has good amount of fiber which contributes in making you feel fuller. Because of that, you would not feel starved so easily and you would not end up binging during snacks. Though this would not lower caloric intake, low-fat or fat-free yogurt will enable you to manage your cravings much easier.

Smart Buying

There are different types of yogurt in the market today. To be able to fully enjoy all the amazing yogurt health benefits, you have to be a little careful when choosing which one to buy. Consider your current health condition and pick the one that is most appropriate. Among the things you need to consider include fat content (regular fat, low-fat or fat-free), type of sweetener and presence of active culture and probiotics.
