Is it better to drink yogurt in the morning or in the evening?

Yogurt has the effects of relieving constipation, promoting digestion, protecting the stomach and intestines, beautifying the skin, and preventing constipation. It can be drunk by most people. It is especially suitable for people with insufficient qi and blood, arteriosclerosis, and gastrointestinal constipation. Although yogurt has many benefits and is very nutritious, some people are confused about whether it is better to drink yogurt in the morning or at night. Today we have made the following introduction to this issue and hope it will be helpful to everyone.

Regarding whether it is better to drink yogurt in the morning or at night, generally speaking, it is best to drink yogurt thirty minutes to 2 hours after a meal. Under normal conditions, the pH value of gastric juice in humans is between 1 and 3; when the stomach is empty, the gastric juice is acidic, with a pH value below 2, which is not suitable for the growth of active lactic acid bacteria in yogurt. Only when the pH value of the stomach is relatively high can the lactic acid bacteria in yogurt grow fully and be beneficial to health. About two hours after a meal, the gastric juice is diluted and the pH value rises to 3-5. Drinking yogurt at this time is most beneficial for absorbing the nutrients in it.

In addition, if you drink yogurt on an empty stomach, it can easily stimulate gastrointestinal emptying, and the nutrients in the yogurt will be excreted before they have time to be completely digested and absorbed; drinking it after a meal can reduce stimulation and allow the yogurt to be slowly absorbed in the stomach.

Secondly, it is generally better to drink yogurt at night. As the saying goes, drink milk in the morning and yogurt at night, which also means the same thing. The benefits of drinking yogurt at night: If you want to supplement calcium for your body, it is best to choose yogurt, because compared to milk, it not only contains rich calcium, but also contains a large amount of lactic acid. This substance combined with calcium can effectively promote the body's absorption of calcium. If you want to achieve the best results, the best time to drink yogurt is between half an hour and two hours after a meal. If you want to get the best results, it is best to drink it at night.

Although drinking yogurt at night is the best, it does not mean that you can drink yogurt at any time. Because yogurt contains a lot of acidic substances and some bacteria, these substances can cause great damage to our teeth. Therefore, in order to protect our teeth, we must brush our teeth or rinse our mouth immediately after drinking yogurt to avoid tooth decay and other problems.

In addition, do not drink yogurt on an empty stomach, because it will cause great irritation to the intestines and easily cause intestinal tract damage. As a result, a large amount of nutrients contained in the yogurt will be excreted from the body before being absorbed by the body, causing great waste. Drinking milk after a meal can not only effectively reduce intestinal irritation, but also allow yogurt to stay in our body longer, so that it can be absorbed more completely.

After reading the above introduction, I believe everyone has a basic answer to the question of whether it is better to drink yogurt in the morning or at night. Here, the doctor also reminds everyone that you must remember to brush your teeth after drinking yogurt at night, because yogurt can cause damage to your teeth. Secondly, you should also note that the more yogurt you drink, the better, because yogurt itself contains calories and drinking too much will make you gain weight.
