Yoghurt is a healthy dairy product made by fermenting milk. It provides nutrients, probiotics, calcium, vitamin B, and protein. The bacteria used to make yoghurt are called "yoghurt culture." These cultures help convert the natural sugar found in milk into lactic acid, which gives yoghurt its flavour and texture. Yoghurt can be made from all varieties of milk. It can be even made at home by adding a bit of curd to milk or a dash of lemon juice, which yields lactic acid bacteria known as Lactobacillus. From smoothies, raita, to dips, yoghurt can be used in a range of recipes. Wellness enthusiasts are preferring low fat yoghurt for weight loss diets.
Yoghurt is a good source of protein, calcium, and probiotics, and can help lose weight, take care of bone health, and also gut health. Studies have shown that yogurt consumption has been linked to weight loss by altering the microbiome of colonic architecture. Being a rich source of calcium and Vitamin D, it can also manage high blood pressure.
