Me Heart Yogurt!

For those who knew me, they will know how much I resisted the sight of yogurt last time.

I've always thought, "What's so nice about yogurt? Why is everyone going ra-ra over yogurt?" 
To be honest, I tried one scoop very long again and I don't really fancy it.
Probably because it was some weird flavours or it was the original flavour which I don't really adore.

Then again, people do change.
And now, I'm having a sudden liking for yogurts!

I think it started off with me bringing my china colleagues to Serangoon Nex for yogurt at this place call Sogurt which I had the grape, lychee and strawberry in a mix and I really like it! At that juncture, it was like "Since when had yogurt tasted so nice?" Teeheehee!

The Benefits of Yogurt

Yogurt is very good for you! It's full of beneficial active cultures that help prevent bad bacteria from taking up residence in your body. The other benefits of yogurt is that it gives your body valuable nutrients such as calcium, protein, and vitamin B2.

Yogurt can boost your health. Here are some facts about yogurt:

Yogurt bacteria can relieve the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.It can also restore the balance of your body's yeast levels, preventing yeast infections. It can help prevent urinary tract infections. Because yogurt is rich in calcium, it can keep your bones strong and prevent osteoporosis.

People who are moderately lactose intolerant can often digest yogurt without a problem. The process of turning milk into yogurt transforms the lactose into lactic acid, which means your body doesn't have to process the sugars in the original milk product.

Even better, yogurt can be eaten in a variety of different ways. You can even make a delicious smoothie with some yogurt and fruits.

Watch That Label!

When you buy yogurt from the grocery store, make sure the label doesn't say "pasteurized." Also, look for "live bacteria" or "live cultures" on the label.
The pasteurizing process kills off the good bacteria, minimizing the health benefits of yogurt.

More yogurt stores to try out because I only started with three stores but so far I like Sogurt the best!

Tick ones are the ones I have tried and those with crosses are the ones I have yet to try and I will go try them out someday!

And reason why I am having an affinity with yogurts nowadays is because I am doing a project for International Marketing and the theme set by the unit controller of the school was "Dairy Products". Hence, our group has decided to work on frozen yogurt and we chose Yogen Fruz as the company to look into.

In the midst of doing the project, I began to have closer ties with the once unfamiliar yogurt and I fell in love with it!

So, Stay Healthy with yogurt and Happy Good Friday everyone! J
