Advantages of Yogurt
Yoghurt
is rich in potassium, calcium, protein and B vitamins, including
B-12
Research shows yoghurt
strengthens and stabilizes the immune system.
"Yoghurt has strong medicinal properties, including the ability to stimulate the immune system and kill bad "bugs" or bacteria in the human gut. ...research at the University of California at Davis showed that eating live-culture yoghurt was associated with higher-than-average levels of gamma interferon, a key component of the body's immune system."(1)
The secret to good yoghurt is that it contains live cultures, there are four major strains of bacteria to look for: L. acidophilus, L. bulgaricus, S. thermophilus, and bifidobacteria. There are good brands of yoghurt available check the label to make sure it specifies active cultures. It is always better to buy the yoghurt plain and add in the fruit or jam just before eating it. Frozen yoghurt is not the same product and will not yield the same health benefits; even if they specify live cultures they will have only a fraction of the beneficial bacteria of fresh yoghurt and they will not enhance lactose tolerance.
Lactose in milk is converted by Yogurt's bacteria into lactic acid
which helps digest lactose or dairy products.
In yoghurt the process of growth from milk into yoghurt involves the conversion of
lactose into lactic acid. Lactic acid helps digest lactose. In other words, yoghurt
provides the enzyme needed to digest milk products. Calcium, which is
found in dairy products, needs to enter the body in an acid matrix or your body
will not absorb it. So the lactic acid of yoghurt is a perfect medium to maximize
calcium absorption. Eight ounces of yoghurt will equal 400 mg of calcium, 25%
more calcium than you would get out of a glass of milk.
When someone is HIV positive and has a CD4 count under 200 their production of hydrochloric acid (HCL) slows down. HCL is normally produced by your stomach to help with the digestion of food. When you have less HCL and digestive enzymes digestion becomes incomplete, food moves too quickly along the digestive tract. Your body doesn't get enough calcium and other minerals. Difficulty sleeping and malabsorption are common end results. Yoghurt is one of those foods that you can eat to enhance your HCL production thus improving your digestion, vitamin and mineral absorption, and your bodies general well being.
