1) It brings so much nutrients and few calories

In yogurt there is all macronutrients necessary in a balanced diet: protein, carbohydrates, fatbut also vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Few, instead, the calories: at pot low fat yogurt only 45, the equivalent of a big kiwi or a glbad of orange juice.

2) He has the super powers of fermented foods

Yogurt is fermented milk from two specificities bacteria – the Lactobacillus bulgaricus and lo Streptococcus thermophilus – who stays alive and vital until the moment it is consumed. During the fermentation of milk, the lactic acid bacteria of yogurt give rise to metabolites which integration with intestinal bacterial flora, create favorable conditions for the well-being. In particular, keep the microbiota in balance and restore normal intestinal biologic functions. But not only.

By regularly eating yogurt, yes natural defenses increase of the body against infections, especially intestinal infections, because its enzymes they produce bacteriocins, individuals molecules with "antibiotic" action because they are able to prevent and control intestinal infections and "putrefactions". That's why I lactic acid bacteria are considered the best treatment (and the most natural) to have a healthy gut. However, not all yogurts can be defined as probiotics: that's why.

3) Helps keep weight under control

It has recently been discovered that the anti-obesity effect is also due to the ability of yogurt promote the breakdown of fats present in the cells. Thanks to his high calcium content: in a pot there are 150 milligrams. This mineral salt, if taken every day in sufficient quantity, it is effective in modulate lipid synthesis and degradation processes inside the fat cell, you lose more body fat (especially abdominal) and in less time.

4) It's good for the skin

Yogurt works from the inside because its lactic acid bacteria, which integrate with the bacterial flora of the intestines, create favorable conditions for human well-being, fighting against the "bad" bacteria that can damage the skin.

As well, providing riboflavin and pantothenic acid, here Yogurt regulates lymphatic drainage and therefore helps to fight against unpleasant skin imperfections.

5) It brings vitamins and minerals

Just a jar of yoghurt for cover about 20% the daily calcium requirements and make sure good amounts of potbadium, zinc, magnesium and Vitamins B (especially B2 and B12).

Also in yoghurt minerals (especially calcium and phosphorus) are present in a highly bioavailable form and so they come absorbed with great ease of our body. Merit of four major "facilitators": lactose and lactic acid present in milk, as well as free amino acids and small peptides that form during the fermentation of milk.

6) It does not weigh and is easy to digest

Yogurt is a champion of digestibility. The merit of the lactic ferments that during fermentation, they release amino acids and peptides, increasing the presence of soluble protein and hydrolysed lactose and reducing the size of protein particles. this promotes the action of enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract, making the yogurt particularly digestible.

In addition, yogurt is also suitable for those who have lactose problems (here is how intolerance is recognized) why do not cause problems to those who do not tolerate this sugar. An effect caused by the presence of lactases of fermentative microorganisms that, at least in part, "survive" the pbadage of the gastric barrier and thus manage to act effectively on the digestion of lactose.
