Boost your health with yogurt probiotics

Yogurt boasts health benefits beyond the basic nutrients it provides. Some of those benefits are from the probiotics—healthy bacteria—that are added to yogurt in processing and give it the characteristic flavor, texture and tanginess loved around the world. Some studies have indicated that probiotics— depending on the types and amounts—may help your body absorb nutrients better, reduce symptoms of lactose intolerance, decrease the side effects of antibiotics, help digestion and even improve the immune system.
