Some netizens feel that yogurt is a very satiating food, and drinking it after eating a full meal will aggravate the gastric digestive burden. What is the truth? When should you drink yogurt? In response to the various questions raised by netizens, the reporter interviewed Li Yi, chief physician of the Gastroenterology Department of the Affiliated Shaw Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. Li Yi said, after meals want to let the stomach and intestines "decompression", yogurt is really not a good choice. But choose the right yogurt, intestinal health has some help. There are many exhibits about yogurt in Sial Shenzhen.

　　Yogurt from milk fermentation, in addition to rich in protein, calcium, vitamins and other nutrients, but also contains beneficial yeast, lactobacilli, etc., helps regulate intestinal flora, which can improve the symptoms of indigestion. "But these live probiotics are only present in yogurt that requires low-temperature storage, and room temperature yogurt does not have the above effects." Digestion of food cannot be achieved without two important conditions, namely regular gastrointestinal peristalsis and digestive enzymes. "Neither room-temperature yogurt nor low-temperature yogurt contains digestive enzymes per se, and the claim of aiding digestion is nowhere to be found."

　　"In fact, there is nothing in life that can help digestion, just that some foods are better digested, and yogurt is one of them." Li Yi told reporters, but the common yogurt on the market to solidify the type, add a variety of fruit juice jam auxiliary fruit-flavored type, more than extra sugar and calories, a cup after meals, is to increase the workload of the digestive system, long-term, but also easy to lead to obesity. For people who like to drink yogurt, but also consider the balance of energy supply, to avoid excessive calorie intake.

　　But this is not to say that when you are hungry, you can use yogurt to fill up. Li Yi said that the acidity of the stomach during fasting is large, the beneficial bacteria in yogurt in this acid environment is difficult to survive, and subsequently into the intestinal tract of the number of beneficial bacteria is greatly reduced, the health effect is weakened, especially in the population of gastrointestinal disorders, drinking before meals may also be some discomfort. "About 2 hours after the meal, the gastric juice is diluted, the acidity and alkalinity of the stomach (PH value rises to 3-5) is more suitable for the survival of the flora. Therefore, you can choose to drink yogurt at this time."

　　More and more studies are now confirming that intestinal flora dysbiosis is closely related to all kinds of health problems, including digestive disorders such as diarrhea, constipation and irritable bowel syndrome. Drinking some yogurt is also good for intestinal health. Li Yi suggested that when choosing yogurt, it is best to choose with active strains of probiotics, date fresh and stored in the freezer yogurt, or else drink may be probiotics, "corpse", on the intestinal conditioning does not have any effect.
