What does yogurt conflict with

Drinking yogurt as a beverage in moderation in our daily life is very good for gastrointestinal digestion, but we should pay attention to what foods should not be consumed with yogurt. So we can understand how to drink yogurt. Yogurt can be eaten with apples, but not with bananas, soybeans, and medicines, because eating yogurt and medicines together will produce a chemical reaction and affect the effect of the medicines.

What can’t be eaten with yogurt?

Nowadays, many people do not regard yogurt as a beverage, but as a delicious food. It seems that yogurt goes well with many foods, especially with bread or snacks for breakfast. It tastes good and is particularly nutritious. But in fact, yogurt cannot be eaten with any food.

1. Banana

Bananas are rich in nutrients and have certain effects on improving cardiovascular and cerebrovascular functions. But yogurt cannot be eaten with bananas, as eating bananas and yogurt together can easily produce carcinogens. Some people who are prone to diarrhea due to weak spleen and stomach are more likely to suffer from abdominal pain and diarrhea if they drink yogurt just taken out of the refrigerator and then eat bananas, a "slippery" food that promotes intestinal peristalsis.

2. Soybeans

Yogurt is rich in calcium, and the chemical components contained in soybeans affect the digestion and absorption of calcium. Therefore, it is best not to eat yogurt with soybeans.

3. Medication

Some medicines cannot be taken with yogurt, including stomach medicine, antibiotics, iron supplements and hypoglycemic drugs. Some people are accustomed to taking medicine with porridge, drinks, or even yogurt as water, which should be avoided as much as possible. If you drink more yogurt, your gastrointestinal tract will become more acidic, and the coating layer of dosage forms such as coated tablets and enteric-coated tablets may be destroyed, affecting efficacy. Therefore, it is recommended that when taking these medicines, it is best to separate the time of taking the medicine and drinking yogurt by more than 2 hours.

4. Ham

People who often eat sandwiches with yogurt for breakfast should be careful, as the ham, bacon, etc. in the sandwiches and lactic acid drinks (containing organic acids) can easily cause cancer when consumed together. In order to preserve processed meat products such as sausages, ham, bacon, and cured meat, food manufacturers add nitrates to prevent food spoilage and the growth of botulism. When nitrate meets organic acid (lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, etc.), it will be transformed into nitrosamine, a carcinogen. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink yogurt one hour before or after eating foods containing nitrates.

Do not heat yogurt or drink it on an empty stomach.

Once yogurt is heated, a large number of active lactic acid bacteria it contains will be killed, which not only loses its nutritional value and health function, but also changes the physical properties of the yogurt, forms precipitation, and disappears its unique taste. Therefore, drinking yogurt cannot be heated. In summer, it is best to buy and drink it immediately. In winter, it can be left at room temperature for a certain period of time before drinking.

When you are hungry, it is best not to eat yogurt to fill your stomach, because the acidity in the stomach is high when the stomach is empty (PH value is 2), and the lactic acid bacteria are easily killed by stomach acid, thus weakening the health-care effect. About 2 hours after a meal, the gastric juice is diluted and the acidity and alkalinity in the stomach (the pH value rises to 3-5) is most suitable for the growth of lactic acid bacteria (the pH value suitable for the growth of lactic acid bacteria is above 5.4). Therefore, this is the best time to drink yogurt.
