The health benefits of yogurt have been known for centuries, but many people still don’t realize just how valuable yogurt can be to living a healthy lifestyle. Yogurt can actually benefit your health in a variety of ways, and it should definitely be added to your shopping list the next time you head out to the grocery store.

By the unique way that yoghurt is made, it contains good bacteria, which prevents the growth of harmful bacteria which can cause bacterial infections and diseases. Adding some extra good bacteria to your body, can also help with digestion, boost the immune system and prevent yeast infections. Active live cultures actually reduce the level of lactose in yoghurt, making it a delicious dairy alternative to anyone who is lactose intolerant.
