If only one could eat only one food to improve our body’s functioning, this would be… it… Yogurt

It is a food like no other, mainly because it is actually ALIVE.

What is it?

It is just PLAIN , old Yogurt.

Yogurt is absolutely amazing!

Yogurt is simply…. Cultured Milk.

This means that special organisms are placed in the milk, the mixture is heated, and mere hours later …Voila!…Yogurt.

Moreover, do not limit yourself to cow milk.

Any type of milk will do:

goat, sheep, horse, etc…..

After the warmed mixture has brought the yogurt to life, the yogurt is then chilled, which keeps the “bugs” alive but less active.

Guess what?

The organisms inside the live yogurt are what give yogurt most of its health benefits. Here, for the scientist in you, is the list of some of the most beneficial bugs (bacteria) found in this amazing cultured milk – Yogurt:

1. Lactobacillus acidophilus
2. Lactobacillus bulgaricus
3. Lactobacillus casei
4. Lactobacillus reuteri
5. Bifobacterium bifidum
6. Streptococcus thermophilus

Interestingly, the live bugs in yogurt compete with the “bad” bugs in the body and help enhance and fortify the immune system. The live yogurt cultures crowd out the disease-causing bacteria and are, hence, known as probiotics” (as opposed to “antibiotics). These yogurt bacteria are thought to greatly enhance = the immune system and as such are thought to help fight off colon cancer.

However, one of the most wonderful benefits of eating yogurt is the improvement in the quality of stool produced and there are many other purported benefits and, even better, many types of consumption yogurt.

In addition to the health benefits, yogurt is also high in calcium, in which adds about 15%-25% of our daily calcium requirements with each portion of yogurt.

Moreover, yogurt has been associated with other important benefits. Some are scientifically proven in humans, but some only in animals. Common sense allows us to extrapolate the human health benefits of adding yogurt to our diet.
