What foods are good to eat with yogurt? Nuts are the most popular, but vegetables such as broccoli can also have a synergistic effect.

You should drink water before eating yogurt… why?

You should avoid eating yogurt first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. The lactic acid bacteria in yogurt are weak against stomach acid, so eating it on an empty stomach reduces its health effects. It is best to drink lukewarm water to wash away stomach acid before eating. A glass of water helps boost your sluggish metabolism and returns blood that has become sticky due to lack of water to its normal state.

Milk protein + lactic acid bacteria… Improves digestion and slows down intestinal aging

Why is it especially good to eat yogurt for breakfast? According to the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences, yogurt is fermented by adding lactic acid bacteria or yeast to milk, and has the effect of improving intestinal health due to the nutrients in milk, such as protein and calcium. Lactic acid bacteria play a role in preventing bad bacteria from corrupting the intestines and causing accelerated aging. The protein is almost the same as milk in quality and quantity, but lactic acid bacteria break down the protein, making it easily digestible.

Reduces cholesterol and contributes to skin beauty

Eating yogurt reduces the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines and helps maintain an appropriate level of cholesterol in the blood. It also contributes to maintaining immunity. Bifidobacteria have the ability to synthesize thiamine, riboflamin, vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, and vitamin K. Vitamin B group reduces fatigue and helps maintain physical strength, blood health, and skin beauty.

Yogurt with just nuts?… Adding broccoli ‘protects your winter health

Adding nuts such as walnuts and almonds to yogurt is good for reducing triglycerides and cholesterol due to the effect of unsaturated fatty acids. It contributes to blood-vascular health and helps prevent vascular diseases such as hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, and stroke. Adding broccoli here can create a synergistic effect. It can increase the texture of broccoli, which lacks flavor, and supplement vitamin C and potassium.

Broccoli is a seasonal vegetable that is perfect for protecting your health during the winter. 100g of broccoli contains 98mg of vitamin C. It is about twice as much as a lemon. It contains 307 mg of potassium, which regulates blood pressure, and is effective in protecting the heart and lowering blood pressure. Yeollang also helps with diet with 28 kcal. It is a low-calorie, low-fat food that makes you feel full even if you eat just a small amount.

Check the ingredients when purchasing yogurt… Make it at home too

When buying yogurt, it is best to check the sugar and saturated fat content. You can also choose Greek yogurt made without artificial additives. You can make yogurt at home too. The optimal growth temperature for lactic acid bacteria is slightly higher than room temperature (37±3℃). If you add 1/5 to 1/10 of liquid or thickened yogurt to various types of yogurt on the market, stir it, and leave it in a warm place, it becomes fermented milk with live bacteria after 10 to 20 hours. However, hygiene is important. Fermentation works well only when there is no contamination from other bacteria.
