Yogurt is a popular breakfast item that can do you a lot of good. This is all thanks to the bacteria that comes with each bite.
Don’t worry, though. Bacteria comes in all fermented foods and is seriously healing. The good bacteria is called probiotics, which you’ve surely heard around health food circles for years.
Probiotics improve the gut, which plays a major role in your overall health. By maintaining a healthy gut you can alleviate many illnesses and diseases, such as obesity and diabetes.
According to research, eating yogurt regularly may also lower glucose levels and improve insulin resistance. Another study says that it could even lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Needless to say, yogurt is good for you.
However, there are two things that ruin the health benefits for you:
- high-sugar yogurts
- high-sugar granolas
To avoid this, choose all-natural yogurt that is low in sugar. As for the granola? Here are five delicious and healthy recipes to top your granola with:
