YOGURT/DAHI- HEALTHIEST SOURCE OF CALCIUM & VITAMIN-D

Curd is one of the best food with superb awesome properties.


Being a product of milk it is the richest source of both calcium and Vitamin D. And guess what, Curd is far ahead of its parent product(Milk) , when it comes to nutritive facts. Milk is known for its high fat content, whereas curd has a lesser fat content compared to milk. 

Even the lactose intolerant people, can happily enjoy the pure milk product "Curd" as the lactose is broken down in the process of fermentation of milk to curd and thus suites the "Lactose intolerant" people too :-) That's cool of curd!! Isn't it friends !!

Fermentation is a wonderful natural chemical process and fermented foods have a fabulous property of forming good bacteria in stomach, the so called "probiotics"

Eating your daily dose of curd helps in preventing vaginal yeast infection, as the lactic acid in curd has powerful anti-fungal properties. So all the ladies over there, just don't ever miss your daily cup of curd. Eat atleast twice or even once is ok, but never miss out eating curd. Though you all may be busy in taking care of your whole family, you should take care of yourself first, so that you will be perfectly fit & healthy to take better  care of everyone around you :-)

Curd is loaded with minerals and vitamins. Curd is one of the richest source of calcium obviously being a product of milk. Thus eating curd will help you to have strong teeth and strong bones. 

Curd is even rich in protein, therefore good for all, helps in building your muscle strength too.  Curd has other minerals like Phosphorus, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc, Sodium and Vitamins like A, D, B12, E.

Curd has another fantastic property of maintaining the acidity and alkalinity of digestion, I mean, Curd maintains the pH of the digestive system. Ha, here again comes the known fact, followed since our ancestral times, which is, whenever anyone is suffering from acidity, don't you guys remember your elders advising you to have a glass of butter milk or sweet lassi or just plain curd or curd rice. Curd thus acts a fantastic natural antacid!!

Let me tell you another fact that curd even acts as a Aphrodisiac and even yogurt helps in relieving the hangover..

Did anyone ever think why should we eat a cup of curd or curd rice only in the end of our meal?? I even don't know but let me guess over here, as curd helps in absorption of most of the nutrients in the food we eat I guess that might be the reason we eat it at the end, so that what all we eat are properly absorbed, especially the nutrients. Nice logic :-) What say friends!!

Good day.
