For many fitness enthusiasts and weight watchers, yogurt is considered a wonder food because of the health benefits one can get from it. The protein in yogurt can make one feel full while the amino acids in the yogurt get to work on burning fat. Yogurt also contains potassium that helps regulate the balance of water and other nutrients, lowering the chances of having high blood pressure. Amazing isn’t it?
But yogurt can also be a chest full of nutrition at home. For one, yogurt is available in many varieties such as low-fat, fat-free, Greek or Icelandic and can be prepared in so many ways that moms won’t have trouble in including yogurt in the weekly menu.
Yogurt’s Nutritious Benefits
Yogurt contains many of the same nutrients as milk, only in different amounts depending on the type and sometimes, the brand of yogurt. One serving contains many essential nutrients like protein, calcium and phosphorus to help build and maintain strong bones and teeth. Zinc boosts the immune system, making you less susceptible to colds. Riboflavin and panthothenic acid also help the body with metabolism. Yogurt also has vitamin B12 to keep the nervous system healthy and blood functions normal.
Yogurt is also a good option for the lactose intolerant to get the same health boosts of milk. Its active cultures help the body digest lactose, which is naturally occurring sugar in milk that not everyone can digest.
Yogurt Can Be Served In Many Different Ways
Yogurt presents a convenient way to get many nutrients the body needs. Kids can enjoy squeezable yogurt for a snack, or grab a bottle of drinkable yogurt. Yogurt cups can make for a quick and filling breakfast, and can be mixed with fruit, honey or nuts. You can also enjoy yogurt with your favorite smoothie or use it as a base for a veggie dip.
Yogurt In Pasta, Salad or Dessert
Having the family members, most specially the kids, eat yogurt can be done more easily when you mix yogurt in their favorite dishes. You can choose to mix it in your pasta, salad or even dessert. Here are 3 recipes you can try at home:
