Health benefits of Yoghurt: Weight Loss

Milk and Yoghurt (curd) are such essential part of the recommended ‘healthy Indian diet’. We’ve all heard about the calcium in milk and yoghurt and how it makes our bones stronger, but there is a lot more to yoghurt than just calcium. Can yogurt help you lose belly fat?

Yes, latest research shows that yogurt can even help you lose weight. The calcium in yoghurt not only helps to make your bone stronger. A study at University of Tennessee found that participants who consumed 3 daily servings of fat free yoghurt on a 12 week basis gained less fat around their mid-section than those who didn’t consumed dairy products containing less calcium. The mineral appears to help curb production of the stress hormone cortisol, which has been linked to the accumulation of abdominal fat

Yogurt provides essential carbohydrates and a punch of protein. The carbs are good since they provide you the energy you need to get through the day. And the protein is good for building those muscle and their regular functioning. Yoghurt with fruits makes for a great post workout meal.

It is also a good source of your daily vitamin needs like vitamins B6 and B12. Yogurt is also a good source of Potassium. Studies have shown that potassium consumption helps with reducing hypertension and increase muscle retention. The bacterial cultures in yoghurt help to keep you regular.

There are plenty of ways to consume yoghurt: If you don’t like plain yoghurt, then you can always throw in some fruits and nuts. Or try these yoghurt smoothies or low calorie healthy smoothie recipes. Or just honey. Even granola tastes good with yoghurt.
