Many health problems start in the gut, when the natural balance between beneficial and harmful bacteria is upset.


This leads to fermentation, putrefaction, gas, constipation and poor absorption, and thus to even more severe health problems if allowed to persist.The lactic acids in yoghurt act on the digestion in several ways.
They synthesize the whole B vitamin group.
They increase the uptake of nutrients, particularly calcium, which yoghurt also supplies, they regulate bowel function, and they have bactericidal properties that can stop a budding infection in its tracks, the E.coli that gives infants diarrhea, for instance.


Antibiotic wipe out both good and bad bacteria in the intestinal tract, if you have have been prescribed them, eat plenty of yoghurt to counter this.


Some 40% of the Western population, and much higher percentages in the East and the developing world,are unable to digest lactose in ordinary milk.
Many of them find that yoghurt can supply the same nutrients, in a form that they digest without difficulty.
