One Way Is Yoghurt for Long Health

By Anastacia Sampson

It has often been said that longevity is associated with regular yoghurt consumption. Is it a myth or can it be backed by sound based medical studies? According to current research there is truth. Yet we may ask how yoghurt is healthy? What needs attention is the quality of the yoghurt.

Yoghurt is fermented milk with the milk being altered by acid-producing bacteria. Acid-producing bacteria ?eat? or feed on sugars and in milk the simple sugar known as lactose is converted into lactic acid. However all acid-producing bacteria do not only feed on lactose, milk sugar, but also alter other sugars and foods. The over consumption of high protein containing foods favours the less healthy bacteria in our colon by supplying more ?food? for those bacteria that oppose the acid-producing bacteria. All bacteria types build up an environment in the colon by eating and fermenting food they need. Generally the acid-producing bacteria do not need high protein but rather more carbohydrates (complex sugars).

We should realise that after a course of antibiotics it is a healthy policy to supply what was destroyed. Take in direct sources of highly populated live acid-producing bacteria supplements after antibiotic prescriptions; antibiotics means against life! While a general term to cover bacteria supplements is probiotics meaning pro life. Our colon houses various and numerous types of bacteria that all have their place to different degrees! Many billions of live bacteria are needed to re-establish or improve bacterial conditions in our colon. A viable supplement can supply this and regulation of contents needs rigorous attention and care to protect the consumers from poor contents and misguided claims.

As bacteria are in vast numbers due to their extremely minor size, we need those billions in dosages! Yoghurts should be ideally plain, low-fat and with a guarantee of healthy live cultures or live bacteria. Processing of milk ensures it?s safe from harmful pathogens, such as the tuberculosis bacteria, before acid-producing bacteria are added. Food poisoning is often due to poor hygienic practices in the preparation of animal foods. It?s imperative to wash all contact services and hands, while cooking raw animal products thoroughly to evade consumption of those pathogenic bacteria. Bacteria that live in yoghurt have been shown to improve immune functions!

That means it may protect against auto-immune diseases, and colds and flu from viruses and insure a healthy living style of life.. We know the history of live plain yoghurt that seems to have prolonged life in some areas of the world. The lesson to us is not to mess around with a sound policy. Adding flavours via flavourants and mixing in other odd preservatives and colourants isn?t the best for health. Mucking about with something that?s healthy and natural alters it. Ensure you?re aware of what you actually are feeding yourself by checking labels, made hopefully by a quality guaranteed manufacturer of the product. - 17274
