Benefits of Eating Yogurt

Hey Everyone!

Today I am talking about the benefits of eating yogurt. I know that a lot of you probably already know that eating it is very good for you, but you might not know all of the benefits. I am also going to talk about my favorite type. I think it tastes like a treat!

The first benefit I am going to talk about is that yogurt supports healthy digestion. Yogurt has something called probiotics in it. Probiotics are healthy bacteria. This might sound disgusting to you but we actually have a ton of bacteria normally in our gut. When the good and bad bacteria get out of balance, more bad than good, it can cause you to become sick. When you add probiotics to the mix you are adding more good bacteria, which is exactly what we want. Yogurt can boost the immune system. This also stems from the probiotics. It can help regulate your mood. Studies have shown that good gut health is directly related to better mood. It lowers the risk of many diseases. Some of these diseases include: Diabetes II and Colorectal Cancer.  Due to the probiotics in the yogurt, your gut stays healthier for longer. As a byproduct, your risk of colorectal cancer is decreased. This has been proven in medical studies. Since yogurt promotes a healthy gut, it also improves the absorption of nutrients in the gut. This can improve blood sugar regulation, which in turn, can prevent Diabetes II.  It prevents osteoporosis and can increase bone density. This is because it has both calcium and vitamin D, which are crucial for bone health! Both of these vitamins strengthen and maintain your bone mass.

My favorite yogurt is Noosa. My favorite flavor is lemon. You can find this at most grocery stores and they also sell it at Costco!
