Yogurt Is Good For You
Friday, March 27, 2009 at 11:24PM I feel good about our choice to feed Eliana yogurt every day, and it is one of her favorite things to eat. She has had yogurt as the main part of one meal (almost) every day since she was six months old-she loves whole milk, plain yogurt. Most people know there are many healthful benefits that come from eating yogurt daily. The good bacteria that yogurt is famous for, those "live and active cultures", helps with a host of different things. You might hear about microflora, probiotics, and healthy immune systems. Beyond the strains of good bacteria you'll find that yogurt is also a good source of protein (for energy and muscle growth), calcium (for bones and teeth), vitamins B-2 and B-12 (cellular stuff, brain and nervous system benefits), potassium (for muscle performance, fluid balance, heart and kidney function), and magnesium (important for bones and muscles).
Additional research is under way on the, so far, lesser studied effects of yogurt, those that don't get as much press.
The yogurt facial, for example. Does it leave the complexion smooth, evening out wrinkles and fine lines? Does it aid skin's natural elasticity, tightening and firming around the eyes and mouth?
What about the benefits for hair; does it increase volume and shine? Does it maximize growth potential, or possibly delay the growth of gray hair?
This is an ongoing study and all helpful results will be publicly disclosed as soon as they are attained and adequately substantiated. While there are many proven gains from eating yogurt, its additional values are yet to be definitively understood. This research shows, however, that science is at work to reach that understanding.
