10 Benefits of Yogurt
Benefit #6: Prevents Yeast Infections
Yeast infections, such as thrush, can be both painful and embarrassing. They can affect both men and women, no matter how healthy and hygienic they may be. It can also be very difficult to prevent them, although yogurt can be a significant help in this regard.
People are often given antibiotics to help prevent thrush, but this is not always effective. Indeed, it is thought that some antibiotics can actually increase the chances of developing a yeast infection. Yogurt, though, helps the body to maintain its natural pH levels and this can be quite effective in preventing infections from taking hold.
