The need for yoghurt in the children's dietNow, with the abundance of dairy products, as well as with its wide range for children, it can be difficult for parents to navigate when choosing yogurt. The best for the child's body are recognized as the most useful - live yoghurts. They are so named by nutritionists, as they contain not only vitamins and trace elements, but also a living bacterial culture - lactobacillus bulgaricus. The terms of consumption of such yoghurts are rather short - up to 25 - 28 days from the date of manufacture.

Also, pay attention to what kind of fruit additives yogurt contains: in 85% of cases, exotic fruits (such as papaya, pineapple and others) are added to the yogurt composition, already being treated with a preservative, which may cause allergies in the child.

In the composition of yoghurts of many European brands, lactose under the influence of bacteria in the child's body is converted into lactic acid. An important point - even with an allergy to lactose, yoghurts are indicated for use by children from 9 to 10 months of age. Moreover, doctors recommend drinking yoghurt to stop diarrhea.

As shown by numerous observations, diarrhea stops and the intestinal flora begins to recover in young and middle-aged children already on the 2nd day of admission.

Of course, the price of Danone yoghurts is relatively high, but plain kefir does not contain such bacteria as bio-kefir.

The need for yoghurt in the children's dietSuppression of biopathogenic microbes is the merit of beneficial bacteria. With their help, immunity develops in the child's body. In the autumn-winter period, it is possible to take antibiotics that suppress viral infections. Children develop dysbiosis, and the intake of yoghurts contributes to the normalization of the intestinal flora. Therefore, after a course of treatment for ARVI, acute respiratory infections or flu of any modification, it is simply necessary to put on yoghurts.

They will help both the baby and the schoolchild to quickly overcome the depletion of mucous tissues and restore the intestinal flora. With a sharp dehydration of the body, the number of yogurt intake increases - from 2-3 times a day to 4-5. The volume of the product decreases - from 80-70 ml at a time - twice a day - for a one-year-old baby, to 40-50 ml after every 3 hours for the same time.

Storage of such products excludes freezing - otherwise live bacteria die in yogurt. The ideal storage temperature is +4 +6 C °. The "live" yogurt should be warmed up gradually, at room temperature, and in no case in a water bath - thus it is very easy to destroy the colonies of bacteria in yogurt, because they are very sensitive to overheating.

Long shelf life yoghurts are products that can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. The peculiarity of the composition of such yoghurts is the presence of not the yoghurt stick itself, but the products of its vital activity. Since the action of bacteria is weaker, the price of the product is also cheaper.

But in any case, the optimal solution would be buying a yogurt maker... You can cook yogurt and in a slow cooker or in slow cooker... Making yoghurt at home will be healthier and more economical.
