GET MORE YOGURT Contrary to popular belief, eating dairy products won't increase congestion or worsen a cold, says a researcher at Zurich University Hospital. In fact, a recent study from the University of Vienna shows that the lactic acid bacteria in yogurt can activate immune cells that fight illness.The immune system is what protects us against bacteria (harmful), pathogens, microorganisms, cancer cells, and other things that can be danger to our health.
Also, a recent study compared the absorption of calcium from kale with the absorption from milk revealing absorption of calcium from kale was 40.9%, compared with 32.1% from milk. Yogurt is more suitable then milk because of the acidity, which is thought to increase the absorption of minerals. Plus, you would need to eat half a pound of kale to a cup of yogurt for the same calcium ratio.

Did you know that yogurt has Magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, zinc, selenium, iron and chloride? May I say electrolytes! Are you Low carbing or lactose intolerant? The good bacteria in yogurt eats the lactose to multiply during the fermentation. Which means less sugar for you? According to Dana Carpender, a national best-seller cook book and food writer, you can subtract 8 grams of lactose sugar from whole fat plain yogurt.
Yogurt Cheese
Ingredients
- 4 cups plain yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- black ground pepper (I use it, but it’s not from the original recipe)
- 1 thin cloth bag
How to make it
· Stir yogurt gently with salt and pepper
· pour inside the cloth bag
· Suspend the bag (don’t need to be refrigerated first day), let drain all time.
After a few days yogurt cheese is not very creamy, so you can do little balls with your hands, dust thyme and black pepper... (You can choice your herbs or garlic...)
· Enjoy it!!!
