Medical studies from reputable health organizations such as the World Health Organization have confirmed the positive role of unsweetened yogurt in improving cardiovascular health and lipid metabolism.
According to research, eating unsweetened yogurt every morning significantly reduces triglyceride and LDL-C (bad) cholesterol levels, while slightly increasing HDL-C (good) cholesterol levels. Scientists explain that probiotics in yogurt help regulate intestinal microflora, thereby affecting the metabolism of fat and cholesterol in the liver.
How to use unsweetened yogurt for breakfast to reduce blood fat
However, the effectiveness of reducing blood fat depends on how yogurt is used for breakfast. Therefore, housewives should prepare the right amount of unsweetened yogurt for each family member.
Accordingly, each person should consume about 150200g of unsweetened yogurt in the morning, combined with foods rich in soluble fiber such as oats, chia seeds, almonds or low-sugar fruits (bamboo shoots, apples, kiwi). Soluble fiber has the ability to bind to cholesterol in the digestive tract, helping them to be excreted rather than absorbed into the blood.
The World Health Organization recommends limiting the intake of sugary yogurt or added honey in the morning because sugar increases the triglyceride index in the blood. At the same time, eating yogurt early in the morning on an empty stomach helps increase probiotic absorption and boost metabolism during the day.
Unsweetened yogurt is a smart choice for breakfast to help reduce blood fat, but you need to eat it properly, combine healthy foods and avoid refined sugar for optimal results.
