Spring weather warms up, and many people start to lose weight, plan runs, and do strength training. Specific to small things, people are also accustomed to drinking yogurt, lactic acid bacteria drinks, thinking that it can help digestion, protect the stomach and intestines, and most importantly, lose weight.
Yogurt, as we all know, is a nutritious and healthy drink. In terms of calcium supplementation, it can go hand in hand with milk, which is a good choice for middle-aged and elderly people and menopausal women to prevent osteoporosis. In terms of drinking time, many people like to drink after meals, but can it really play a role in helping digestion?
Milk and yogurt are not used, because milk has lactose components, for lactose intolerant people, often after drinking milk, there will be frequent diarrhea, bloating, stomach pain, nausea, dizziness and so on. Yogurt is not the same, yogurt is mainly lactobacillus, streptococcus thermophilus, bifidobacterium, etc., after fermentation processing, can decompose lactose, and produce sour taste.
But it's hard for people to rely on yogurt to help digest. According to the characteristics of the stomach and intestines, to help it digest mainly rely on digestive enzymes, or a large amount of fiber that stimulates its peristalsis, while yogurt has no digestive enzymes, and the fiber content is still very low, and it is difficult to play a role in helping digestion. For probiotics, which people often say, they may have been inactivated before they reach the stomach and intestines. In summary, yogurt has no digestive effect.
The lactic acid bacteria drinks on the market, the merchants mainly advertise the probiotics and lactic acid bacteria. Probiotics are intestinal beneficial bacteria, from the clinical basis, probiotics can improve the inintestinal stimulus syndrome to a certain extent, suitable for gastrointestinal discomfort caused by intestinal beneficial flora imbalance, such as indigestion, diarrhea and so on.
In addition, probiotics are beneficial to enhancing the body's immunity, stabilizing the balance of the gastroflora in the gastrointestinal tract, and have a protective effect on the gastrointestinal tract.
The probiotics in lactic acid bacteria drinks do not reach the stomach and intestines, but also play a role in the stomach, so it is not a real probiotic. If it is a health care product sold outside the home, or a probiotic drug sold in a pharmacy, it is not necessary to take it for normal people, and it is necessary to follow the advice of a doctor before eating.
For lactic acid bacteria, according to its characteristics, it is suitable for survival at 4 degrees Celsius to 6 degrees Celsius. Once placed at room temperature, or not drunk in time during the process of buying it back, the activity of lactic acid bacteria will be greatly reduced, or even inactive, and can not help digestion.
What needs more attention is that yogurt and lactic acid bacteria drinks have a lot of sugar, especially the latter. According to the survey, a brand of lactic acid bacteria drink contains nearly 50g of sugar. The Chinese Nutrition Society recommends that people can only consume 50g of sugar a day, preferably less than 25g, often drink will only gain weight, weight loss people should be careful, it is best to choose sugar-free and sugar-free dairy products.
