Yogurt is a really healthy food. Yogurt is a source of proteins, calcium and probiotics, which are good bacteria that help us digest food, and may also reduce the risk of development of chronic diseases. In the intestine, probiotics improve the absorption of vitamins and minerals, help prevent constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, gas and inflammatory bowel diseases.
