Do not leave yogurt at room temperature for more than 8 hours!

Due to the need to maintain the activity of lactic acid bacteria, yogurt should be stored in a low-temperature environment, usually around 2-8 degrees Celsius, and the storage time is usually within 15 days.

Yoghurt is a milk product that uses fresh milk as raw material. After sterilization, beneficial bacteria (starter) are added to the milk, fermented, and then cooled and filled.

There are four reasons for letting babies drink yogurt:

1. Yogurt has high nutrient and energy density. A cup of yogurt (150 ml) can provide infants and young children with 30% of energy and calcium and 10% of of protein. Yogurt is very similar to human milk and is easy to digest, especially suitable for infants and young children with immature digestive systems.

2. Yogurt contains galactose. Galactose is a component of brain lipids in the brain and nervous system. It is closely related to the rapid growth of the baby's brain after birth.

3. Diarrhea is a common disease among infants and young children in summer. Yogurt contains sufficient lactic acid bacteria, which can effectively inhibit the production of harmful bacteria and improve immunity, thus preventing diarrhea or shortening the duration of steamed diarrhea.

4. Yogurt is a semi-solid food. Drinking yogurt has a stronger sense of satiety than milk, and is suitable for guiding babies to transition from liquid food to solid food.

Tips for drinking yogurt

1. The best time to drink yogurt is 2 hours after a meal, because the pH value of gastric juice rises after a meal. This environment is very suitable for the growth of lactic acid bacteria and allows the nutrition of yogurt to be fully exerted.

2. Don't drink yogurt on an empty stomach. The active lactic acid bacteria in yogurt can only grow when the pH value is above 4. However, when the pH value is below 2 on an empty stomach, the lactic acid bacteria will be killed by gastric acid and the nutritional value will be greatly reduced.

3. Do not heat yogurt to drink. If the temperature is too high, the beneficial bacteria in the yogurt will lose activity. If you buy yogurt for several days at a time, you should store it in the cold room of the refrigerator. The shelf life of yogurt is generally only 7-15 days, so don't store it for too long.
