Does yogurt really contribute to gastrointestinal health?

Yogurt is good for the stomach. Yogurt is made from fermented milk, which is particularly rich in nutrients. Lactose will also be decomposed during fermentation, and patients with lactose intolerance can also drink it. Yogurt can stimulate the secretion of digestive juice and improve indigestion to some extent. Yogurt can protect gastric mucosa, avoid gastric acid erosion and promote gastric mucosal repair.

Yogurt contains a large number of lactic acid bacteria, belonging to intestinal beneficial bacteria, which can inhibit the reproduction of harmful bacteria in the intestine, improve intestinal function and promote the absorption of nutrients in the intestine. Drinking yogurt regularly has a two-way regulating effect on constipation and diarrhea. Although drinking yogurt is good for the stomach, it should be avoided on an empty stomach as much as possible, and it should be accompanied by pasta, which is conducive to the absorption of nutrients in yogurt.
