Drinking a glass of milk in the morning and evening has become a good habit for many people, but did you know that drinking a glass of yogurt during or after lunch can also play an important role in health.
According to statistical data, the energy supply for breakfast accounts for 25% -30% of the total energy demand for the day. Therefore, drinking a glass of milk during breakfast can effectively supplement energy; Drinking a cup before going to bed at night can help improve sleep quality, allowing you to enter a deep sleep state, and ensuring the full absorption and digestion of milk nutrients. So, what are the benefits of drinking yogurt during lunch? Experts point out that yogurt contains a large amount of organic acids such as lactic acid and acetic acid, which not only give yogurt a refreshing sour taste, but also help it form tender curd, thereby inhibiting the reproduction of harmful microorganisms. At the same time, it reduces the alkalinity of the intestine, increases acidity, promotes gastrointestinal peristalsis and secretion of digestive juices. In addition, with the continuous improvement of yogurt production technology and production processes, some major dairy brands, such as Mengniu, have reduced the number of probiotics in their yogurt products from two to four. This not only significantly improves the nutritional value of yogurt compared to similar products, but also further strengthens its role in aiding digestion and inhibiting harmful bacteria.
Don't underestimate the benefits of yogurt, as it is very beneficial for office workers who sit in front of the computer after lunch and are not active, which can easily lead to indigestion or fat accumulation. Meanwhile, tyrosine in yogurt is of great help in relieving physical fatigue caused by excessive psychological stress, high tension, and anxiety. After fermentation by lactic acid bacteria, the particles of protein, peptides, amino acids, etc. in yogurt become smaller, and the content of free tyrosine is greatly increased, making it easier to absorb. Drinking a cup of yogurt during or after lunch can help office workers relax and stay energized throughout the afternoon, which is more conducive to improving work efficiency.
According to a recent study, yogurt also has the effect of reducing radiation damage and inhibiting the decrease in lymphocyte numbers after radiation. Animal experiments have shown that mice exposed to yogurt have increased tolerance to radiation and reduced the damage to the immune system caused by radiation. For office workers who face computers for long periods of time and are constantly exposed to electromagnetic radiation, drinking a cup of yogurt during lunch time is very beneficial to their health.
