Benefits of consuming yogurt:

Reduced disease risks
Women who eat yogurt often have fewer chronic-disease risk factors, which can enhance their quality of life and increase their life expectancy.

Appetite control
Protein, abundant in yogurt, helps increase satiety – and therefore helps women control their overall calorie intake for healthy weight management.

Less constipation
Yogurt contains probiotics, healthy bacteria naturally present in women’s digestive tracts, that can improve digestive function.

Fewer Deficiencies
Because yogurt is nutrient-dense, women who eat yogurt regularly may decrease their risk of developing nutrient deficiencies
