What liver disease patients can't drink yogurt? This article tells you

Is yogurt suitable for patients with liver disease? The answer is yes, drinking yogurt for a long time has many benefits. Not only can enhance gastrointestinal function, but also have a certain preventive effect on hepatitis and constipation, and it is also good for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular.

Yogurt is usually a milk product fermented by lactic acid bacteria, and its nutrients are more easily absorbed by the human body than milk and have high nutritional value. If you are not lactose intolerant, yogurt will definitely be a good companion in your daily life.

So what are the benefits of yogurt?

1. Enhance gastrointestinal function

The lactic acid, fatty acids and amino acids contained in yogurt meet the nutritional needs of the human body and are easily absorbed. The probiotics in yogurt also have many beneficial effects on the human body, such as promoting digestion and absorption, improving appetite, and regulating intestinal flora.

2. Regulate the body's immunity

? ? ? Yogurt inhibits the growth and reproduction of "bad bacteria" in the gut. The "good bacteria" in the human body will produce many components that are beneficial to the body, which can mobilize the body's immunity to strengthen, and then effectively resist the invasion of pathogens.

3. Improve hepatitis status

? ? ? Yogurt contains a lot of lactic acid, which can regulate the change of intestinal flora to better conditions and reduce the toxic reaction caused by other toxins. Hepatitis patients ingest excessive protein, which will produce ammonia and other toxic substances through bacterial decomposition in the intestinal tract, which will increase the burden on the liver and induce hepatic coma. However, the bifidobacteria contained in yogurt can play a role in regulating ammonia-producing bacteria, thereby reducing the decomposition of protein by intestinal bacteria. And because the protein in yogurt has been fermented, it is absorbed by the human body before it is decomposed by bacteria.

4. Prevent constipation

? ? The short-chain fatty acids contained in yogurt can promote intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation.

5. Prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

Yogurt is rich in protein, and after conversion, it is conducive to the absorption of the body, helps to maintain the body's balance state, and reduces the deposition of lipids in blood vessels. Lactose and some components can also prevent vascular damage and maintain vascular elasticity, thereby preventing the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular.
