Eating Yogurt Improves Your Health

Yogurt’s moment as an ultimate health food is still going strong. A new study found that people who ate more than two servings of yogurt a week had better overall diets, lower triglycerides, and blood pressure than those who ate less. Choose yogurts that have little to no added sugar. Check the ingredient label, it should basically include milk culture and other cultures such as S. Thermophilus or L. Bulgaricus.

Here are the top picks for the best yogurts:

Stonyfield Fat-Free Plain Yogurt
