Cons of consuming yogurt


Photobucket

Why hello hello! It's been a long time. I thought that I would make it up to you guys by presenting you with another post. A side note, I would be on hiatus until the end of May. Thank you for being patient with me. 

Let's get on with the topic of the day. 

Yogurt, some people love it and some hate it. I used to detest plain yogurt but I learned to love it by adding it with a drizzle of honey. I have been eating  Greek yogurt for the past 6 months. The brand of the yogurt was Farmers Union Greek Yogurt. 

I did a random test by avoiding it for 2 months and I noticed a big difference it had on my skin. I stopped having random breakouts. My only conclusion to this discovery was that the milk used to make the yogurt contained hormones. 


To further reconfirm my assumption, I noticed that organic milk does not cause me to break out at all. I have been consuming organic skim milk for approximately one year. 


If you guys are having random breakouts and you don't know the reason to it, try consuming organic milk products and see the effects it has on your skin.


Normal milk products contains plentiful of hormones, additional and artificial flavouring. When ingested, the hormones might disturb your body's natural hormones and cause reactions such as breakouts, eczema and etc. 

Some of my tips when purchasing yogurt:

1. Avoid buying flavoured yogurt. It contains a lot of unnecessary sugar, artificial fruits and flavouring. Instead, get natural or plain yogurt (organic).

If you like to add some pzazz to your yogurt, add some slivered almonds, drizzle of honey and some fruits. :)

2. Go organic even when it's pricier, it will do your skin wonders. 

P.S - Instead of consuming normal yogurt (non-organic), you could purchase it to apply it on your skin instead. I mentioned the advantages of yogurt as a hair and face mask treatment previously. Check it out (here). :)
