Question: What are the benefits of Probiotic Yogurt? Ive been doing some reasearch about probiotic yogurt and have found much information. But im not sure what the real benefits are... I found this article which I thought was useful http://www.biobestsmartgrowth.ca/whysosmart/learnmore/

Answer: Check the wiki entry here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probiotic There are lot of "good bacteria" in your digestive track and probiotic yogurts help maintain the levels of these bacteria. You should especially eat some probiotic yogurt if you've had to take a schedule of antibiotics for another illness as it kills off the good bacteria in your gut as well as the bugs you want to kill.

Question: What are the benefits of eating yogurt? Everyone has been telling me that eating a thing of yogurt everyday is good for you, but in what ways? Also, I've been told it can help you lose weight if you eat it in replace as a meal, what meal would be the best to replace with yogurt? Thanks!

Answer: Yogurt contains calcium which is fantastic for your bones, and protein for organ maintenace. It's very healthy but should definitely not be used as a substitute for a balanced meal. This would not be healthy! Meals need a portion of wholegrain carbs, healthy fats, lean protein and vegetables. Yogurt is good for you but you need a lot of different food groups to make up a balanced meal. X

Question: Regular Milk/Yogurt vs. Soy Milk/Yogurt? Benefits, advantages, etc? I recently switched from regular milk and yogurts to soy milk and yogurts. Luckilly I love the soy taste and had no problem doing so. However, are there any benefits to soy milk/yogurt products over regular?? Do they both have the same amounts of calcium, nutrients, and as for the yogirts the live active cultures? Any health benefits?

Answer: Soy is a good all-around food, which is why it's used world-wide in so many different ways. It is particularly high in protein. I don't have the time to research the relative values of each, but I do know that they are both good nutritionally. The major advantage/disadvantage to either is that each has a portion of the population allergic to it. I use soy milk a lot as well. My favorite thing about it is that its shelf life is much longer than milk.

Question: What are the benefits of eating yogurt for a woman?

Answer: It's very healthy for both men and women to eat yogurt, because it helps to keep the balance of gut bacteria in good order... but it stops there. Any living bacteria there will remain there to breed and continue, but all that die will simply be digested and become food for you. They won't help anything but your gut and your general health. It's got no unique benefit for women unless used vaginally, though: putting a tablespoon of unflavoured, unsweetened, live-culture yogurt in your vagina once a month is a very good way to insure the proper bacterial balance there, and doing so twice a day for a couple of weeks is an almost perfect (and perfectly natural) way to clear yeast (Candida) and some bacterial (trichomonas, especially) infections. The bacterium that makes milk into yogurt (Lactobaccillus acidophilus) is a normal inhabitant of human vaginas, but sometimes (as a result of sex, hormones, antibiotics and other things) it gets partly or completely killed off there... overgrowth of the other normal criiters in there results, and you have an "infection". Yogurt goes a long way to reducing (and is *very* good at eliminating) vaginal infections... but only if it's used vaginally.

Question: What are the bad qualities of eating yogurt?? I have to do an infomative speech. And i can only find what yogurt benefits you. And I'm afraid that f i only give the info on the beneficial of yogurt then that would be more of a persuasive speech.

Question: what benefits of yogurt with active cultures like bifidus regularis do for your digestive track? are there any bad side effects of these live and active cultures in yogurt?

Answer: constipation is the only thing that can happen but you would have to eat a lot of it or be regular already before eating some. these bacteria aren't some kind of invention. they are part of a natural human diet. sauerkraut is another option, not as tasty but packed much fuller of good bacteria.

Question: At what temperature cooking that kills live culture in yogurt? I cooked a batch of cookies using plain yogurt instead of butter, and it tastes really good (just the texture is different).

AND if there are any benefits if yogurt doesn't have live culture?

Answer: what does this mean?

Question: What are the benefits of eating Activia Yogurt? Activia hypes up the fact that it helps regulate your digestive system, but what are the real benefits of regulated digestion?

Answer: tons of benefits but you can also get the same benefits from taking a probiotic/acidophilus supplement instead of eating the yogurt - Probiotics help keep your immune system healthy and "keep things moving" in your system.

Question: What is the healthiest kind of yogurt? What is the best kind of yogurt to eat as far as sweeteners and benefits of yogurt?

Answer: the 'active cultures' don't actually matter. they're making an irrelevant reference to the bacteria that live in your intestines. You don't need to eat more of these (tangent - they do need a source of energy) as a general rule, sweeteners like aspartame are not definitively tested, but they probably aren't bad for you. One way to eat healthier yogurt is to only eat non-fat or low-fat.

Question: Does yogurt have the same benefits as milk? You see many advertisements saying that 3 servings of nonfat or low fat milk is beneficial when losing or maintaining weight. I for one have a hard time drinking milk. I don't like it. Would other forms of dairy have the same benefits, such as low fat yogurt?

Answer: Yes most certainly. What you try to do on a diet is get the nutrition you need but keep the calories down while doing it. You still need the vitamins and nutrients but we try to keep the fats and sugars down. These are just extra energy your body either uses up in your daily activities or stores away, first in your liver and later on, on your stomach or backside. You can get the daily allowances of all needed nutrition from eating very little but you begin to get real hungry with so little going through you. The advantage to knowing how to eat right (correct amounts and substances and times of the day) is that the digestion process actually uses a lot of energy. So there is a bit of science to dieting. If you do it wrong your body thinks a famine has hit and will struggle with you to hold onto the fat weight. Woops, I got carried away there. Way more than you asked. Yes yogurt is good, has protein and calcium and tastes pretty good :-)
