Yogurt Plus

Perishable

I love yogurt and have it often. My mom used to eat it for dessert with a spoonful of jam and whipped cream. I in turn do the same and love yogurt in many dishes and meals. This yogurt is very versatile and it only takes 6 hours to make!

I have done a lot of research on yogurt. Many of the world's centenarians have consumed yogurt and kefir daily and often as a dessert or meal.

I love kefir with every fiber of my being and have it every day but there were a couple of strains that kefir didn't have that I wanted. Bifidobacteria and L. Reuteri were two very important strains that I think we need in abundance that isn't in kefir, but what's interesting is kefir helps to feed these strains if you have them. I've written articles about both of them, and now we have two yogurts that have these strains in them. I've made gallons of yogurt but did not expect to experience the wonderful effects of yogurt that I am now experiencing.

Bifidobacteria have long been regarded as one of the most beneficial members of the human gut microbiome. Lower levels of this beneficial bacteria have been shown in obese and diabetic individuals and in individuals taking antibiotics. Also, those suffering from irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease have shown lower levels of bifidobacteria as well. The easiest way to get more bifidobacteria is to take Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs)  for a short period of time and then switch to foods that feed it and keep it strong. You can supplement with HMOs from time to time but paying attention to this species in your gut is very important.

Strains in Yogurt Plus
These are the strains in Yogurt Plus; Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, Plantarum, and L. delbrueckii subspecies bulgaricus, with the addition of L reuteri which is a different strain than the one we have in our L. reuteri superfood starter, (superfood starter is much stronger).

All these are specific strains in Yogurt Plus and were handpicked along with one of my favorite bacteria Bifidobacterium longum. Everybody needs more Bifidobacteria and I have written specifically about how to build up Bifido with prebiotics and yogurt to help keep it strong and steady.  Check out this article. HMOs and Bifidobacterium. 

If you have a weak immune system Streptococcus thermophilus, L. delbrueckii, L. Plantarum, L. reuteri, and Bifidobacterium have all been shown to benefit your immune system powerfully. This helpful strain fights off viruses, fungi, and parasites that invade the gastrointestinal tract and the urogenital system too. They also help to reduce gut inflammation, decrease pathogen activity and improve overall health.
