Seven good deeds of yoghurt

1. Helps us digest Lactose
Some people are sensitive to lactose, the natural sugar found in milk, and this may cause bloating, abdominal discomfort or diarrhoea. The live and active cultures in our yoghurts can help the digestion of lactose and can even help lactose-sensitive people enjoy the health benefits of milk. 
 
2. Contains 'good' bacteria
‘Good’ bacteria are living cultures that, when consumed in sufficient numbers, can provide health benefits that go beyond basic nutrition. Activia, with our exclusive probiotic ActiRegularis*, can help improve digestive comfort when consumed daily as part of a healthy diet and active lifestyle. 
 
3. Helps to supports our bones through life
Yoghurt is a great source of protein, calcium, vitamin A and vitamin B12. These nutrients are important in bone health. Eating or drinking yoghurt supports the normal growth and development of bones in children and helps provide nutrients that maintain bone solidity and strength throughout life.
 
4. Helps our body grow and repair
Our human tissue is made up of protein, calcium and essential minerals. Nourishing a child from an early age provides the building blocks for a strong and healthy body in adulthood. As children grow, demand for these nutrients increases. Yoghurt is a good source of protein and calcium.
 
5. Contains essential Amino Acids
Essential Amino Acids can’t be produced by your body itself and must be provided for in your diet. There are nine essential amino acids and all of these are present in yoghurt.
 
6. Helps with a balanced diet
Yoghurt is a great way to consume the 3 dairy portions recommended daily. Healthy snacking is good for you! Yoghurt is a tasty, healthy snack that you can enjoy anytime.
 
7. Easy to enjoy
Imagine that mid-afternoon slump or when the kids are just home from school and starving. Yoghurt can provide energy to help keep your blood sugar levels constant, which can help to keep you going in your busy day. It is available in many varieties and flavours so it can easily be enjoyed on a daily basis.
