How unreliable are the probiotics in yogurt?
Probiotics are so popular because of their efficacy. It is said that probiotics have many functions, such as improving human immunity, promoting digestion, improving intestines, caring skin and preventing constipation. Therefore, the more you drink yogurt containing probiotics, the better it is for your health, which has caused the sales boom of yogurt.
According to the latest scientific research results, probiotics are really beneficial to intestinal health after entering the human intestine, because there are two kinds of flora in the human intestine, one is beneficial bacteria and the other is harmful bacteria. When the number of two kinds of flora is roughly balanced, the human intestine is in a healthy state.
However, these two flora are always in a state of "war". If the beneficial bacteria are "defeated", people's intestines will be in a state of disease. If probiotics are poured into human intestines by drinking yogurt, it will undoubtedly increase the "fighting power" of indigenous probiotics in the intestines, thus achieving the purpose of maintaining human intestinal health. However, although this inference is feasible in theory, it is often counterproductive in real life.
Most yogurt manufacturers claim that their yogurt contains tens of billions of probiotics, not to mention how many of these probiotics can enter the human intestine alive. Even if the probiotics in the whole bottle of yogurt can arrive safely, it is still far from the original fungi in the intestine, which really does not play much role in the "cluster" of beneficial bacteria and harmful bacteria, not to mention the beneficial bacteria in yogurt can finally reach the human intestine alive after being drunk into the human body through layers of checkpoints. In addition, the protobacteria in the human intestine have certain exclusiveness, that is, probiotics ingested into the human body through food may not be accepted by the protobacteria in the intestine and will not be able to coexist with them. After a hard walk in the human esophagus, you can't escape the "fate" of being expelled from the body, let alone play any role. Therefore, it is extremely unreliable to expect probiotics in yogurt to achieve the purpose of "health preservation". On the contrary, it may lead to excessive energy intake due to excessive intake.
This is the real health significance of yogurt.
Rejecting the significance of probiotics in yogurt, you don't need to be lost if you love yogurt, because probiotics in yogurt don't have much effect, but drinking yogurt often has many benefits to your health. Everyone knows that drinking pure milk is good for health, and yogurt is a dairy product made of pure milk fermented by probiotics, which not only inherits almost all the nutritional advantages of pure milk, but also relieves people's worries about lactose intolerance caused by lactose in pure milk being decomposed by probiotics during fermentation.
Milk and dairy products are rich in high-quality protein, calcium and other nutrients. Drinking yogurt regularly is very beneficial to human health. Just when buying yogurt, try to choose the original yogurt. Because other flavors of yogurt add additives and sugar, it will inevitably increase energy intake, and may also lead to obesity and other diseases, which is counterproductive.
