Can fermented yogurt be heated?

It seems that everyone usually drinks yogurt. Yogurt is usually taken out of the refrigerator and drunk directly. It tastes sour and icy and is very delicious. Many people like to drink yogurt, but some people have a bad stomach, or women during menstruation are afraid to eat cold food. They will heat the yogurt before drinking it. So, can fermented sour drinks be heated before drinking?

The best time to drink yogurt is 2 hours after a meal, because the pH value of gastric juice rises after a meal. This environment is very suitable for the growth of lactic acid bacteria, which can fully exert the nutrients of yogurt.

From a nutritional point of view, it is best not to heat fermented yogurt before drinking. If the temperature is too high, the beneficial bacteria in the yogurt will lose their activity. In this way, the lactic acid bacteria will be destroyed and the nutrients will be reduced!

Because of the need to maintain the activity of this lactic acid bacteria, fermented yogurt must be stored in a low-temperature environment, generally around 2-8 degrees Celsius, and the shelf life is usually less than 1 month. If you feel that the yogurt is too cold in winter, you can only put it in a bottle and keep it warm in water, but do not heat it directly.

Tips for drinking yogurt: 1. The best time to drink yogurt is 2 hours after a meal, because the pH value of gastric juice rises after a meal. This environment is very suitable for the growth of lactic acid bacteria, which can fully exert the nutrients of yogurt.

Don't drink yogurt on an empty stomach. The active lactic acid bacteria in yogurt can only grow when the pH value is above 4, and the pH value is below 2 when you are on an empty stomach, so the lactic acid bacteria will be killed by stomach acid and the nutritional value will be greatly reduced.

Do not heat yogurt before drinking. If the temperature is too high, the beneficial bacteria in the yogurt will lose their activity. If you buy yogurt for a few days at a time, you should store it in the refrigerator. The shelf life of yogurt is generally only 7-14 days, so don't keep it for too long.

If you don’t have a very good stomach, it is recommended that you don’t drink too much yogurt. In fact, when you are on an empty stomach, if your stomach is not very good, yogurt itself is relatively cold and acidic, and drinking it can easily cause gastrointestinal problems. However, it is still good to drink it an hour after a meal, which can promote digestion.
