10 Benefits of Yogurt
Benefit #3: Aids Digestion
When we think of bacteria, we tend to think of bad microscopic life forms that can make us very ill. It is wise to be cautious as some bacteria and other nasties can make us very ill indeed. The vast majority of bacteria are harmless to us, though. In fact, some are even helpful.
Living in our stomachs and elsewhere in the digestive system are whole populations of bacteria. For the most part, these are helpful in that they help us to digest our food. Yogurt is a probiotic, which means it encourages a good and healthy balance of the bacteria in the digestive system.
