Superfood: Yogurt
posted by Kamil
Yogurt:
L. acidophilus, L. bulgaricus, L. casei, S. thermophilus, L. reuteri and B bifidus. (most yogurts contain at least one or more of these bacteria; you want to look for brands that specifically say "Live Active Cultures" )
Ever since I was a young boy, I have always loved yogurt. I try to eat yogurt everyday, and often find myself taking a spoonful, while making breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I always picture the bacteria in the yogurt like a clean up crew in my gut fighting off the bad species of bacteria (namely Staphylococcus aureus). Yogurt seems more like desert than anything else, but recently we have been experimenting with various plain yogurts in different recipes. Thats tonights desert, yogurt and strawberries...yum!
Why is yogurt a superfood?
- It is a complete protein
- It is prebiotic and probiotic
- It can help reduce the incidence of the following

So, you should eat yogurt, and eat it alot, because it tastes good and does alot for you.
