What I read
After I finished my class on Friday, I started looking for
an interesting article to share with everyone then I saw the topic “the countrythat brought yoghurt to the world” By Madhvi Ramani on www.bbc.com. I am interested in this topic
because I am a fan of dairy product because they are delicious.
What it says
On this article, the writer shows a long history of yoghurt.
Many Bulgarians claim it was accidentally discovered here around 4,000 years ago when
nomadic tribes roamed the land. However, Bulgaria played a vital role in introducing yoghurt to
the West and turning it into the popular, commercial product we know today. Yoghurt is an intimate
product linked to the land, the animals and the particular taste of the family. If we eating
yoghurt that made from the different villages, the taste will different.
My response
Yoghurt has been consumed for many years. This article makes
me know about history of yoghurt and the
process of making yoghurt. Moreover, it makes me interested in its health
benefits because I think many people
still don’t realize about its benefits.
When I searched on the internet, I found many interesting
reasons to love yoghurt. Firstly, yoghurt is rich in essential nutrients that our body need
such as calcium, minerals and vitamin B. Secondly, some yoghurt contains probiotics which are
healthy bacteria . Probiotics can boost the immune system, regulate digestive system and reduce
the risk of cancer. Furthermore, it can help us lose weight or keep the weight off. There are
studies have found that eating yoghurt may reduce obesity. Finally, yoghurt is brain
food because it contains the amino acid tyrosine. Brain food helps our brain
function effectively.
However,yoghurt may not good for everyone because it can
cause negative effects for example, in the person who has milk allergy or
lactose intolerance. Moreover, we should not having too much yoghurt per day as
it may increase the level of sugar and cause kidney stones. In my opinion ,
eating yoghurt 2 cups per day is enough.
Because I'm a fan of yoghurt, I had already read the article that Kaimook chose to blog, but I enjoyed reading her response, even though I don't entirely agree. The bit I disagree with is that it causes an increase in the sugar levels. That sounds wrong to me because good yoghurt has zero added sugar. My favourite is Farmers Union Greek style, which is delicious in the plain version. It is deliciously creamy, being made from full cream milk, in fact there is added cream, so although I think it has no risk from deadly sugar, I'm not sure that it helps me lose weight. I enjoy a pot at least once a day, except that occasionally Tops is out of stock!
ReplyDeleteYour selected topic are very interesting and educated. However, I think you may understand some information in a bit wrong way. First, probiotic does not boost the immune system, it only helps us clear the pathogenic and opportunistic bacteria in the intestine. in term of cancer, I think may helps to reduce the risk from the gastrointestinal cancer only. Tyrosine seems to be a correct choice for brain. Actually, the main brain food is glucose only. amino acids serve as a building block of protein synthesis and neurotransmitter production i brain more than becoming the food. Yogurt is an important optional choice for milk allergy or lactose tolerance since the bacteria in yogurt will degrade lactose into galactose and glucose, so the yogurt definitely does not contain lactose. and for sugar issue, I agree with Peter comment.
ReplyDeleteThanks you
Thank you Top for the informative answer. I was guessing in some of my comments, so it was reassuring to have them confirmed by someone who knows a lot more about the topic than I do.
