The benefits of yogurt

It’s a meal time and it’s my yogurt time.  Yogurt can be considered either as drinks as well as foods having range various types available in the market with soft, thick, creamy, liquid texture to plain (unflavored), fruity, honey, chocolate flavors to choose.

If you are into weight conscious then a low fat or skimmed milk yogurt can become your choice, otherwise, be flexible to choose whole milk yogurt.

For me, yogurt can be consumed either for breakfast or lunch when I am on my light lunch schedule.  Well, actually, most of my lunch is prepared as light meal plan as I don’t like to get too full and getting sleepy while still many things to follow up during the day.

The taste of yogurt will be mostly sour.  If you want to reduce the sour taste, then pick fruity taste of yogurt that you can find from blueberry, strawberry, mango, kiwi, peach, orange, cherry and many other flavors.  While for plain or unflavored yogurt, you can blend it with honey, preserved fruit, raisin, fresh fruits or syrup to get more sweeter taste.

Let’s now talk about the benefits of yogurt.

Consume yogurt regularly can help prevent digestive problem which of course, it will give ease feeling which is good for body metabolism. Yogurt contains high in protein, vitamin and calcium to support digestion.

Another benefit when consuming yogurt is to help maintaining weight but, in this case, do consume low fat yogurt.  Take 3 scoop of dinner spoon of yogurt and add with fresh fruits, such as, kiwi, apple or bananas, you can then keep your stomach full with few calories.

Do read the ingredients when you are choosing which yogurt to buy so you will know which product most preferred and suitable for you. Do not forget to check the expiration date.  Sometimes, you will see some promotion, such as, buy one get one free in large container because of the use-by date to consume almost end.

How about the benefits of yogurt for skin?

Have you tried exploring yogurt lotion? I often use yogurt lotion (not my consumed yogurt yet), but rather trying to apply the lotion that has gone through necessary processes to produce a good quality product.  I have tried body yogurt which is a lotion product from one famous brand and it is a nice product.

Body yogurt applies nicely to my skin, moisturizes my skin without sticky texture.  I try the product from The Body Shop that comes with many fragrant packaged pleasantly in a container handy for me to carry.

The same as your meal or drink yogurt, do also check the expired date of body yogurt or yogurt lotion.  Although, there might be grace periods allowed from the expiration date, but for me, I will be more comfortable to use or consume any products prior to the expired date.
