Is Frozen Yogurt Healthy? Here's The Scoop.


What are the health benefits of frozen yogurt?

One major health benefit of all natural frozen yogurts is the probiotic content. Frozen yogurt that contains live bacterial cultures promotes better digestion. According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), there is some evidence that specific probiotics are helpful for urinary tract infections, irritable bowel syndrome, may reduce the recurrence of bladder cancer and prevent and manage atopic dermatitis (eczema) in children. Probiotic content is good bacteria that your body needs that can boost the immune system, enhance digestion and is even believed to lower cholesterol levels. At Freeziac we use yogurt which maintains active live cultures and probiotics to make healthy frozen yogurt.

In addition to probiotic content, another health benefit of frozen yogurt is the amount of lactose found in frozen yogurt appears to be more digestible than the lactose in milk. For people who are lactose intolerant, this is particularly important. Frozen yogurt contains enzymes that assist in breaking down dairy, allowing many people with lactose intolerance to enjoy frozen yogurt with little or no ill effects.

Frozen yogurt is recommended by many dieticians as a good way to get the newly-increased daily allowance of dairy products. It's a good natural source of protein and calcium. We invite you to come Freeziac and taste the difference of a healthier frozen treat!
