Benefits & Effects of Yogurt

Vitamins & Nutrients found in Yogurt (Click for details)

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) helps your body grow and produce new cells, with the help of the other B Vitamins. Without riboflavin, you would have a host of problems including cracked lips and other mouth problems. You would be highly sensitive to sunlight.

Unlike other vitamins which lose their nutritional value when heated, riboflavin is depleted by light. After 4-6 hours of exposure to light, nearly half the riboflavin content is depleted.

Cheese, yogurt, ice cream, meats, liver, sweet potatoes and green leaf vegetables are all rich in B2.

Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)

Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) helps your body turn fats and carbohydrates into usable energy, improves agility, prevent acne, and helps your body produce the healthy fats it needs.

Deficiencies in B5 will lead to weakness, numbness, fatigue, and sometimes a burning pain in the feet.

Cauliflower, mushrooms, sunflower seeds, yogurt, calf’s liver, corn, broccoli, squash or eggs supply B5.

Disclaimer:

For best results, fresh, organic foods are recommended.
Foods are most nutritious in their raw form, unless heating is required.
Food sources are recommended over supplements, but in the event you must use supplements, be sure to purchase them from a reputable source. In the U.S., supplements are not regulated by the FDA.
"Everything in moderation" is a good rule of thumb. Don't shock your system by eating dozens of apples (or anything) in one day. A balanced, yet varied diet is the goal.

As with medicine, there are no guarantees. Preventative steps can help prevent illness and possibly prolong lives, but there are many contributing factors and variables which can sometimes produce unexpected results.
Do research and consult your physician before making any serious changes to your diet or taking supplements. Discuss any allergies or concerns you may have. If you are taking any prescriptions or medications, this is especially important.

This list is a work in progress and by no means complete. My goal is to help people suffering from various ailments, with a secondary goal of spreading the news about the miraculous healing power of foods. Use this information as a launchpad into your new healthy life.
