Eating yogurt at night can double your metabolic weight loss? Nutritionist: Pay attention to these 3 eyebrow corners

In order to promote intestinal peristalsis, improve metabolism and help bowel movements smoothly, eating yogurt for breakfast is a good idea. Even Japanese actress Kana Nishino has shared her experience of eating yogurt to help her lose weight. However, there is a rumor on the Internet that it is best to eat yogurt at night, which can greatly increase your weight loss ability. Is this true? Is it good to eat yogurt during the day? Or is it better to eat at night? Let’s hear what nutritionists have to say.

There are many benefits of eating yogurt: protecting the stomach, regulating allergies, etc.

Yogurt is a type of "fermented milk" that is made by inoculating raw milk with active lactic acid bacteria and contains probiotics that are beneficial to human health. When it comes to the benefits of eating yogurt for human health, it is generally known that in addition to protecting the stomach, improving allergies, and maintaining immune balance, there are even studies that show that it can help prevent food allergies.

Hong Ruopu, a nutritionist at the Zhongxiao branch of Taipei Municipal United Hospital, said that the academic term for "probiotics" is "probiotics". The current definition of probiotics is "live microorganisms that can improve the balance of intestinal microorganisms in the host (such as animals or humans) and have a positive effect on the host." After nearly four decades of research by scientists, some probiotics have a wider range of effects than the original definition; and probiotics mainly refer to lactic acid bacteria and some yeasts.

When taking lactic acid bacteria, there are 4 key points to pay attention to:

1. Daily intake: No matter how good the lactic acid bacteria are, they cannot stay in the intestines for a long time. They need to be supplemented every day, at least billions of high-quality lactic acid bacteria.

2. Intake after meals: Because the acidity of the stomach is lower after a meal, lactic acid bacteria are more likely to pass through the stomach alive and reach the intestines.

3. Choose products carefully: pay attention to what bacteria are used in the product? How many bacteria are there? It is recommended that when purchasing products, if it is a fermented dairy product, it is best to choose a well-known brand; and products that have passed the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s health food certification, the health benefits of the lactic acid bacteria used in such products are guaranteed. If it is a health product in the form of powder or capsule, you should choose products with clear strain labeling, a research team, and academic information available. Since health foods vary in quality, you need to keep your eyes open when purchasing them.

4. Pay attention to the storage conditions: lactic acid bacteria are not heat-resistant and oxygen-resistant. Fermented milk must be stored at a low temperature and should be consumed as soon as possible after opening the bottle. Do not open a large bottle and leave it on the table, drinking it from morning to night. Health products should also be stored at the temperature and should not be kept in a high temperature environment for a long time.

When eating yogurt to help you lose weight, pay attention to the sugar content.

Nutritionist Hong Ruopu said that in the past decade or so, scientific evidence that lactic acid bacteria are beneficial to the human body has gradually been recognized, and Taiwanese people have begun to accept products fermented with lactic acid bacteria. However, if you want to use yogurt to cleanse your stomach, improve metabolism, and help lose weight, there are three important things to note:

[3 Tips on Eating Yogurt to Help You Lose Weight]:

1. Pay attention to the sugar content:

It should be noted that most yogurt products on the market have added sugar. This is because a large amount of lactic acid is produced during the fermentation process of lactic acid bacteria, which makes the original flavor of yogurt difficult for Chinese people to accept. However, as westernized diet has brought negative impacts on health, the sugar content of yogurt has been scrutinized.

2. Supplement nutrients needed for probiotics:

In addition to taking probiotics, you also need to supplement the nutrients needed by probiotics and whether you have enough "prebiotics". Prebiotics are the food of probiotics, including vegetables, fruits, and dietary fiber, which help the growth of probiotics, so that probiotics can survive and play a normal role in the intestines.

3. Replace some ingredients with yogurt: Just like the concept of meal replacement, choose only one meal out of the three meals to replace some ingredients with yogurt. Other carbohydrates, vegetables and other foods should still be consumed in a balanced manner. For example: choose one meal out of the three meals to eat yogurt with lettuce salad.

Nutritionist: Eat some yogurt for dinner to ease metabolism and make you lighter

Is it better to eat yogurt in the morning or in the evening for weight loss? Most people eat yogurt in the morning. In fact, if you eat yogurt at night, it can also help improve the body's metabolism. After 9 o'clock in the evening, the body's organs have entered the detoxification period. Eating some yogurt at dinner can allow the probiotics in the yogurt to slowly adjust the intestinal environment while you sleep, helping toxins to be excreted from the body through feces or urine the next morning. This way, you will feel more relaxed and lighter.
