Among them is preventing stroke and heart attacks. A recent study reveals unexpected health benefits of yogurt

Al Marsad Newspaper – Agencies: Several scientific studies have revealed that eating two small servings of yogurt and fermented dairy products daily can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome.

Prevents the development of insulin resistance

According to doctors, fermented dairy products also lower cholesterol levels and prevent the development of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

Studies have shown that fermented dairy products contain a large amount of conjugated linoleic acid, which has an anti-inflammatory effect on the heart’s blood vessels.

Heart problems

For example, the blood vessels of patients with high blood pressure are exposed to constant trauma and inflammation, and regular consumption of fermented dairy products can actually prevent cardiovascular problems such as heart attacks and stroke.

Doctors confirm that these products are not medicines, but people who take them rarely suffer from high blood pressure and its consequences.

Reducing cholesterol level

The other positive effect of these products is that they help reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood, even though they contain a certain percentage of fat, as it has been shown that they are able to reduce the level of harmful cholesterol by 10 percent. This is due to its anti-inflammatory effect, which in turn affects the process of fat oxidation in the body. In addition, these products improve intestinal bacteria, which in turn affects the level of triglycerides in the blood.

Having diabetes

According to doctors, fermented dairy products are useful in preventing metabolic syndrome and diabetes, because they reduce the risk of weight gain and obesity, which is a major cause of the development of diabetes. That is, by reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome, we reduce the risk of diabetes.
