Yogurt Benefits
What is yogurt and what are yogurt benefits? Yogurt is a nutrient-dense food that contains essential nutrients such as protein, vitamins, and minerals necessary for growth.
As a probiotic, yogurt is supposed to have therapeutic effects such as prevention of urogenital infections, alleviation of constipation, protection against diarrhea, prevention of infant diarrhea, prevention of hypercholesterolemia, protection against colon/bladder cancer, and prevention of osteoporosis.
Yogurt has reportedly improved lactose tolerance in some individuals, as well as immune enhancement and prevention of gastrointestinal disorders. Because of these known health benefits of yogurt, consumer demand for yogurt and yogurt-related products has increased over the past few decades, hence the many options you see today.
