Reasons to Eat Yogurt

Believe this one coz I have always yogurt in my refrigerator for my dessert or snack. Yogurt is pretty kick-ass. Probiotics (that's friendly bacteria) found in yogurt, like Bifidobacterium or Lactobacillis, have been shown to relieve digestive issues (they keep you regular) and the active culture Lactobacillus casei can help fortify your immune system. But that's not all! A daily dose of just 3 ounces can lower your cholesterol, and because calcium-rich diets have been linked to fat loss, may actually help you slim down faster. One cup of organic, fat-free yogurt (plain) has 110 calories, 9 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber.

For all the benefits of this smooth, creamy snack choose yogurts with live active cultures. And to avoid the added sugar (and calories) that comes with flavored yogurt, try adding your own fresh or frozen fru

it.

Psst! When possible, go all-natural or organic. Many "light" varieties of popular brands contain High Fructose Corn Syrup - which in recent studies, has been shown to disrupt liver function and increase bad cholesterol.

Be wise! Think of your health coz health is wealth.
