Yogurt is a kind of common and healthy dairy drink in people's daily life. Although many people may drink yogurt every day, they don't know how to drink it correctly and healthily. The incorrect ways of drinking yogurt may bring harms on human body. As a result, the following passage will give you some suggestions on how to drink yogurt correctly and healthily.

First, you should know how much yogurt is appropriate for every day.
Some people are particularly fond of yogurt, so they often drink a lot of yogurt after the meal, thinking this can promote digestion. However, as yogurt also contains a certain amount of calories, so if you drink a lot of yogurt after the meal, your body will take in additional calories, which may lead to weight gaining. For the healthy people, one or two glasses of yogurt (about 250 to 500 grams) every day is appropriate. And it's best to drink half or one hour after the meal, which can regulate the intestinal flora and is beneficial to the health.

Second, keep in mind that drinking a lot of yogurt can not help lose weight.
Yogurt does have some effect for weight loss, mainly because it contains large amounts of lactic acid bacteria, which can effectively regulate the flora balance in human body, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, as well as relieve the constipation. Long-term constipation has a certain relationship with weight gaining. But do not forget that yogurt also contains a certain amount of calories, so if you drink too much yogurt on the basis of the original diets, it will also lead to weight gaining. The best way is to select non-fat and low-calorie yogurt, which is low in calories and will not make the excessive heat accumulated in the body and cause fat.

Third, do not drink yogurt together with some foods.
It is a good idea to drink yogurt with some starchy foods, such as rice, noodles, steamed stuffed buns, steamed bread, bread, etc, which not only taste good, but are also very nutritious. However, never drink yogurt with sausage, bacon and other high-fat processed meat. Because the processed meat contains nitrous acid, which will combine with the amine in yogurt and form nitrosamine--a kind of carcinogen. What's more, yogurt should also not be taken with certain drugs, such as chloramphenicol, erythromycin and other antibiotics, sulfa drugs, and so on, because these drugs can kill or damage the lactic acid bacteria in yogurt.

In addition, do not drink yogurt in an empty stomach; and people who suffer from diabetes, atherosclerosis, cholecystitis and pancreatitis should also keep away from yogurt.
