In a sea of diets that today can be found at magazines or the Internet, there is no single one who is perfect and healthy and which guarantees you the desired results. The word , “diet” generally implies to a reduction of unhealthy food, which we all love, and increased intake of healthy foods that are not overly tasty. Luckily, one of those diets that will suit everyone’s needs is the yogurt diet, because yogurt as ingredient itself is commonly used and accepted from many people.

Why yogurt is good?

Yogurt contains probiotics, beneficial bacteria that lives in our digestive tract and protects us from microorganisms that can cause intestinal infections. There are many types of yogurt containing specific strains of probiotic bacteria which regulates digestion and strengthen the immune system.
If you suffer from certain health problems, such as bloating or constipation, and you do not have a problem with overweight it is also worth to try one of these diets, in order to regulate intestinal flora.

Yogurt is full of vitamins. Only one portion contains a significant source of potassium, phosphorus, iodine, zinc and vitamin B5, or pantothenic acids. Yogurt also contains vitamin B12, which encourages the development of blood cells and helps the proper functioning of the nervous system. This vitamin is mainly found in foods of animal origin, so it is very essential that vegetarians consume yogurt to make up for his lack.
