First, look at the type.
Give priority to low-temperature yogurt and try not to choose normal-temperature yogurt. This is because the active lactic acid bacteria in normal temperature yogurt have been killed long ago after high temperature sterilization, and lactic acid bacteria can protect and promote digestion in our intestines.
Lactic yogurt or fermented milk is the first choice. The ingredients of this yogurt are relatively clean and there are no additives. Flavored yogurt, flavored fermented milk and other yogurts contain many ingredients, and many additives are added, which are harmful to human health. In addition, don't buy some yogurt with the word "drink". This kind of yogurt has nothing to do with yogurt at all. It is only harmful to human body because it is mixed with various additives.
Second, look at the ingredient list.
The word "raw milk" must be included in the ingredient list of real yogurt, which is the key to ensure the quality and taste of yogurt, so that the taste of yogurt is pure and smooth. Secondly, there are various strains that can be transformed into lactic acid bacteria to promote intestinal health and enhance human immunity.
Then the fewer ingredients in the ingredient list, the better. If you find that too many additives such as sugar, pigment and flavoring agent are added to yogurt, you need to choose carefully.
Third, look at protein content.
Protein is one of the most important nutrients in yogurt. The protein content of real high-quality yogurt is usually ≥2.9%. The higher the number, the better the quality of yogurt. Yogurt drinks often add a lot of additives such as sugar, which will affect its protein content.
Therefore, when choosing yogurt, you can first look at the nutrient composition table on the product packaging and refer to its protein content to choose high-quality yogurt. If the protein is lower than 1g/ 100g, it is equivalent to blending drinks without nutrition.
Fourth, look at carbohydrates
The carbohydrate content of high-quality yogurt should be lower than 12g/ 100g, and the lower the better. This is to avoid the adverse effects of excessive intake of sugar on the body.
There are many yogurts on the Internet that add a lot of sugar or artificial sweeteners in order to reconcile sour taste, which will increase calorie intake, leading to weight gain, obesity and other problems. Yogurt with high calorie is easy to affect dental health, and there will be tooth decay and dental caries.
In short, when buying yogurt, we should not only pay attention to the brand, but also pay attention to the ingredient list, ingredient list and shelf life of the product. With raw milk as the main ingredient, yogurt with high protein, low fat and low carbohydrate is a high-quality and healthy yogurt. If there is no "three words" for raw milk in the ingredient list, it is best not to buy it. This is a typical nutrition with insufficient water.
