In fact, yogurt is not only delicious, but also has many benefits for the body. People who want to lose weight can lose weight by drinking yogurt because it can accelerate digestion and absorption in the stomach. It is a good drink for women who are trying to lose weight, but if they eat too much, it will also be detrimental to weight loss. So, how much yogurt should women drink every day?
So how much yogurt is good for women to drink every day
Drinking one or two cups a day, which is about 250 to 500 grams, is more appropriate. Pay attention to the amount of yogurt you drink, otherwise excessive stomach acid can affect the secretion of gastric mucosa and digestive enzymes, reduce appetite, and disrupt the electrolyte balance in the body. Especially for those who have excessive stomach acid and often feel weak and cold in the spleen and stomach, as well as bloating, it is not advisable to drink too much.
The best time to drink yogurt is between 30 minutes and 2 hours after meals, as yogurt has the best effect during this period. Under normal circumstances, the pH value of gastric juice is between 1-3; When fasting, gastric juice appears acidic with a pH value below 2, which is not suitable for the growth of active lactic acid bacteria in yogurt. Only when the pH value of the stomach is relatively high can the lactic acid bacteria in yogurt fully grow, which is beneficial to health. About two hours after a meal, a person's gastric juice is diluted and the pH value rises to 3-5. Drinking yogurt at this time is most beneficial for absorbing its nutrients.
Things to pay attention to when drinking yogurt
1. Do not drink yogurt on an empty stomach, as the acidity in the stomach is high and the unique lactic acid bacteria in yogurt are easily killed by stomach acid, greatly reducing its health benefits. Therefore, yogurt should not be consumed on an empty stomach.
2. Yogurt is not suitable for everyone to drink. Patients with diarrhea or other intestinal diseases should be cautious when drinking yogurt after intestinal injury; Children under 1 year old should not drink yogurt.
Although yogurt is good and many people like it, we should also pay attention to the amount when drinking it, and not lose control just because it tastes good. Drinking too much yogurt can cause adverse reactions in the body and is not very good for health. Generally speaking, if you want to drink yogurt, it is best to drink about two cups a day, between 250 and 500 grams.
