Say Yes to Yogurt

It is so key to have one to two servings of dairy per day. The best dairy food is, by far, yogurt, primarily because of its probiotics. The probiotics in plain organic yogurt join up with the bifidobacteria, the "good bugs" that mostly live in your gut, to help fight against infections and protect you from yeast overgrowth. Bifidobacteria also digest the foods we eat, allowing your body to take in critical vitamins, including enzymes that metabolize cholesterol and bile acid. Without these microbes, the whole digestive system would screech to a halt.
