Food 3: Yogurt with Live Probiotics
Dive into a bowl of yogurt, and you’re not just indulging in a creamy delight. You’re nurturing your gut with live probiotics, the friendly bacteria essential for digestive harmony. The gut is often termed the body’s second brain, and its health directly affects our overall well-being. For those with lymphocytic colitis, maintaining a balance in gut flora becomes paramount.
Yogurt, especially those varieties teeming with live probiotics, is a dietary superstar. These probiotics work tirelessly to maintain a harmonious environment in our digestive tract. They help in breaking down foods, absorbing nutrients, and most importantly, keeping the harmful bacteria in check.
However, not all yogurts are created equal. The market is flooded with options, many loaded with sugars and artificial flavorings. These are best avoided. Instead, the focus should be on plain yogurts that boast of live cultures. If sweetness is desired, natural options like honey or fresh fruits can be great additions. (3)
