There was once a question: Can yogurt be heated like milk? In fact, yogurt should not be heated
Because the lactic acid bacteria in yogurt are live bacteria, if they are heated or mixed with boiling water, the live lactic acid bacteria will be killed, causing the yogurt to lose its unique health benefits. In addition, yogurt should not be consumed on an empty stomach
When the stomach is empty, the concentration of gastric acid is high, with a pH value below 2. Live lactic acid bacteria are easily killed in gastric juice. It is generally more appropriate to drink it 2 hours after a meal. You should rinse your mouth after drinking yogurt. Yogurt contains a large amount of lactic acid bacteria, which can destroy the organic matter in tooth tissues and gradually cause cavities. Rinsing your mouth with warm water, tea, or mouthwash immediately after drinking yogurt plays an important role in preventing cavities.
Currently, there are many types of prepared lactic acid beverages on the market, mostly sold under the name "yogurt drink." In fact, they are processed from milk or milk powder, sugar, lactic acid or citric acid, malic acid, flavors, stabilizers, etc., and do not have the health benefits of yogurt. Therefore, you should be careful to identify them when purchasing to avoid mistakenly drinking them as yogurt.
