I love yogurt.

Consuming yogurt is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to care for your stomach naturally. According to the Dr. Anil Minocha writing in his book Natural Stomach Care he says "Composed of coutless numbers of living bio-organisms (one cup of cultured yogurt contains literally billions of helpful bacili), once ingested these cultures make their way into the gastrointestinal tract. The yogurt "good" bacteria join with other micoflora in the gastrointestinal tract and do some very helpful things for your body. Here is a list of all the good things that one cup of yogurt does for you:

- Break down food and help digest it.

- Maintain a healthy level of bile salts in the digestive system (helps fight toxic flora in the gut).

- Slows growth of health threatening pathogens.

- Reduces chlolesteral.

- Suppresses tumor growth.

- Discourages harmful microrganisms inside the wall of the GI tract.

- Stimulates production of interferon, a group of proteins that increases the strength and activity of killer cells that form the core of human immune system.

- Generates a natural antibiotic affect that gets rid of unfriendly putrefactive bacteria living in the bowel. These bacteria clog the digestive system, produce toxic waste, and in many cases initiate disease.

Personal Experience and My Favorite Yogurt

I can tell you from personal experience that consuming yogurt really does work for problems with your digestion. I have had two instances in my life where I have had digestive problems both coming from bad bacteria in my digestive system. In each case consuming yogurt was part of my treatment. You will find that when your stomach is bothering you, yogurt is something that goes down very easily. For coping with digestive problems I also drink chamomile and ginger tea. I also take digestive enzymes. You can find these in a chewable form or capsule.

My favorite yogurt is Greek Yogurt. Greek Yogurt does not have the tangy taste of regular yogurt and it is much thicker and more creamy. Though it is relatively new to the market place you can find it in most grocery stores. Greek Yogurt also comes in flavors such as strawberry, blueberry and vanilla.

I have tried the Balkan yogurt and it is more sour than regular yogurt but I think that sourness compliments certain dishes.

nice write up on benefits of yogurt. I didn't care much about adding yogurt to my diet as of recently but it is changing now. I also bought the book "Natural Stomach Care" by Dr. Minocha that you have mentioned/referenced in your article. It is by far the best book I have read on the topic and I don't say it lightly as I have gone through so many from online and from my local library. Thanks very much opening us to this treasure trove of information wealth in Natural Stomach care...

Also, amit, thanks for the added blurb in your comments. It makes lot of sense now

I've noticed in just the past couple of day that Greek yogurt is being advertised a lot on TV and in the manufacturers coupons in the newspaper. I love yogurt but haven't tried Greek style yet. I will.

    • Benefits of Meditation

      Benefits of 15 minute Meditation Every Night If you can answer yes to one or more of the following questions then meditation would be of great benefit for you: Are you fearful of change or new experiences? Are you prone to inappropriate emotional outbursts? Do you often over react to stressful situations? Do you suffer from lack of sleep due to restlessness or an overactive mind? Are you often scattered and unfocused? Do you have difficulty conveying your thoughts into words effectively? Do you feel as though your life is lacking direction? Do you wish you were more creative? Are you desiring to improve your work performance? Do you desire to improve your performance in a sport or other recreational activity? Do you often feel as though you cannot meet the demands of your life do to lack of time or resources? I had not really considered meditation as a cure for mental health problems until I started reading some of Deepak Chopra’s books. One theme that runs throughout all his writings is the importance of meditation. I got the impression he was saying if you don’t do anything else he recommends do begin meditating. You get the biggest mental [...] Related posts: 5 Minute Guided Meditation How to Meditate at Your Desk at Work Here is... 5 Minute Chakra Guided Meditation Chakras Definition I never heard of chakras before one of...

    • B12 Shots for Weight Loss

      B 12 and Digestion Several studies have shown that people who supplemented their diets with vitamin b12 shots reported higher energy levels and increased rates of weight loss vs. a control group that took no supplements. Some doctors may say there is no connection between weight loss and B12 but what they overlook is how many people are deficient in B12. Studies indicate that B12 deficiencies do not correlate with diet (participants with diets high in foods rich in B12 had just as low levels of B12 as those without). It’s not because people aren’t eating enough B12 rich foods but the vitamin isn’t getting absorbed. Studies conducted by the US Framingham trial reveal that a Vitamin B12 deficiency has been detected in 1 out of 4 Americans. One possible cause of vitamin B12 deficiency – age. Many people don’t realize it but as they age their risk for a deficiency increases. Two factors that lead to B12 deficiency are an insufficient diet and declining rates of absorption. The natural process of aging disrupts the digestive tract. This is caused by the cumulative effect of the typical American diet. The stomach lining gradually gets weaker so it can’t produce hydrochloric [...] No related posts. Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin. - 2 weeks ago

    • Why is God Laughing Ebook

      What Dr. Chopra Says About Spiritual Optimism I’ve just finished reading Why Is God Laughing? by Deepak Chopra, and I feel encouraged. Times have been so tough lately and I have felt so lost. I listened to the book on CD and I think Dr. Chopra has a lot of good healing advice in this book. If you feed sad, lonely and scared a lot, I think this book will help you. The book is in two parts. At first Dr. Chopra tells you a story about a real successful comedian whose father recently died. The comedian is shaken up after his Dad dies. The Dad comes to talk to him after his death to give his son some advice and help him fix his life. The comedian goes on a journey with a spiritual guide who comes in the form a person and when the journey is over the comedian is a different more peaceful person. Then Dr. Chopra talks about the 10 steps to spiritual optimism. After I read it, I started to feel better about my life. That maybe things are not so bad, maybe I have a chance to live in a way that I don’t [...] Related posts: Your Playlist Can Change Your Life Music and Moods Did you know that there are ways...
