Yogurt, a beverage that is all too familiar to every woman. Drinking yogurt regularly can effectively enhance the body's immune function, aid intestinal movement, speed up food digestion, and prevent the occurrence of constipation and colon cancer. But do you know when is the best time to drink yogurt? Let me tell you the correct time to drink yogurt.
Drinking yogurt at night has more benefits. Yogurt is a good source of calcium in food. From the perspective of supplementing calcium, drinking yogurt at night is more beneficial. The period from 12 PM to 2 AM is when the body's blood calcium level is lowest, which is conducive to the absorption of calcium from food. At the same time, there are fewer factors affecting calcium absorption in the body during this period. Although milk also contains a high amount of calcium, the lactic acid in yogurt combines with calcium, making it more effective in promoting calcium absorption.
Rinse your mouth with warm water after drinking. Certain bacterial cultures and acidic substances in yogurt can be harmful to teeth. For children, not rinsing their mouths after drinking yogurt can easily lead to cavities.
Yogurt cannot be heated. Once yogurt is heated, the large number of active lactic acid bacteria it contains will be killed, its physical properties will change, causing separation and precipitation, and the unique flavor and texture of yogurt will disappear.
Do not use yogurt to take medicine. It is an incorrect habit to use yogurt instead of water to take medicine and it should be corrected. Especially, yogurt should not be used to take antibiotics such as chloramphenicol, erythromycin, and sulfonamides, or some medications for treating diarrhea, because these drugs can also destroy or kill the lactic acid bacteria in yogurt.
