Why Eat Yogurt?
Why Eat Yogurt?
It's been made and enjoyed for more than 4,000 years and yet YOGURT is relatively new to the Filipino diet. And only recently has it been marketed in a form that can be best enjoyed by the Filipino palate: as a frozen dessert.
We at The White Hat® are committed to promote the eating of healthy and REAL YOGURT--with LIVE, ACTIVE CULTURES--among Filipinos. Yogurt has so many benefits that eating it regularly can contribute to a longer life of HEALTH and HAPPINESS.
Here are yogurt's 6 health benefits:
- Better Digestion. Real yogurt contains LIVE, ACTIVE CULTURES (lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus) sometimes known as "PROBIOTICS". These help people with gastrointestinal conditions such as constipation, diarrhea, H. Pylori infection, colon cancer,, and those who are lactose intolerant.
- Stronger Bones. Real yogurt contains CALCIUM, which is essential for building strong bones and helps to prevent Osteoporosis.
- Reduces the risk of High Blood Pressure. A study made with 5,000 students in Spain showed that eating 2-3 servings of low-fat dairy a day led to lower blood pressure.
- Boosts the Immune System. Real yogurt with live, active cultures boosts the immune system by increasing white blood cells which fight infection.
- Bigger Muscles. Real yogurt contains PROTEIN which are needed in muscle building.
- Weight Loss. Eating low-fat yogurt in place of other high-fat desserts helps in losing weight without the feeling of being deprived.
