Benefits of full fat organic curd

As more and more research studies substantiate the benefits of healthy fats, it seems like a better decision to include full fat milk and milk products in your diet. One of the safest and healthiest choices would be to go for full fat organic curd, which is loaded with a wide variety of nutrients such as proteins, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. Here’s how organic curd, which we also refer to as tasty dahi, can provide a host of benefits to you and your family.

Avoid lactose intolerance – Nowadays, an increasing number of people are being diagnosed as ‘lactose intolerant’. This is a medical condition wherein the affected person is found deficient of an enzyme in the body knows as lactase. It simply means that a person who is lactose intolerant does not have the ability to properly digest dairy products like milk. When such a person consumes milk, he/she can suffer from symptoms such as bloating, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. However, it does not mean that such people will have to completely avoid dairy products. The best option for them would be to go for dairy products such as full fat organic curd. The good bacteria in organic curd convert lactose in milk into glucose and lactic acid, which are easily digestible by the human body, even by people who are lactose intolerant.

Healthy bones and teeth – Tasty dahi provides a good supply of calcium, which is essential for strong bones and teeth. Also, the more calcium you include in your diet, the lesser will be the risk of debilitating medical conditions such as osteoporosis. It has been shown in nutritive studies that just around 250 grams of full fat organic curd can supply up to 50% of calcium needed by your body every day.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) – Full fat organic curd has plenty of healthy fatty acids such as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which offers several health benefits. In research studies, CLA has shown to be useful in treating cancer, hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), obesity and food allergies. CLA has also been found useful in weight loss and bodybuilding. It also boosts immunity and reduces fat deposits in the human body.

Fight harmful microbes – The good bacteria in full fat organic curd, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacteriumlactis, help to neutralize harmful microbes in your gut. One specific research study has shown that such harmful bacteria can cause a particular type of ulcer, referred to as Helicobacter pylori.With full fat organic curd, such harmful bacteria can be removed in a healthy way, without any side effects.
