Yogurt can be considered as one of our daily beverages. Sometimes, it's inevitable that there will be times when you can't drink frozen drinks, and then you can only drink hot ones. However, we all know that some beverages cannot be heated. So, the question we need to understand together is: can we heat the yogurt we often drink with warm water?
Can yogurt be heated with warm water
Yogurt cannot be heated and consumed Once yogurt is steamed and heated, the large amount of active lactic acid bacteria it contains will be killed, and its physical properties will also change, resulting in separation and precipitation, and the unique taste of yogurt will disappear. The most valuable lactic acid bacteria in yogurt can not only break down lactose in milk, produce lactic acid, increase intestinal acidity, but also inhibit the growth of spoilage bacteria and weaken the production of toxins by spoilage bacteria in the intestine. So, yogurt should not be heated when drinking. In summer, it should be bought and consumed immediately, and in winter, it can be left at room temperature for a period of time before drinking.
What are some common knowledge about drinking yogurt
1. The best time to drink yogurt is 2 hours after meals, because the pH value of gastric juice increases after meals, which is very suitable for the growth of lactic acid bacteria and can fully utilize the nutrients of yogurt.
2. Don't drink yogurt on an empty stomach. Active lactic acid bacteria in yogurt can only grow when the pH value is above 4, and when the pH is below 2 on an empty stomach, lactic acid bacteria will be killed by stomach acid, which will greatly reduce their nutritional value.
3. Do not heat yogurt to drink. If the temperature is too high, the beneficial bacteria in yogurt will lose their activity. If you purchase yogurt for a few days at a time, it should be stored in the refrigerator compartment. The shelf life of yogurt is generally only 7-14 days, so do not store it for too long.
Nowadays, delicious yogurt is becoming increasingly popular among people of all ages. Because yogurt not only helps people digest and regulate gastrointestinal function, but also has many health benefits that we cannot imagine.
