Fermented dairy benefits

Fermented dairy products like yogurt and kefir offer nutritional benefits such as calcium, proteins, and sometimes vitamin D, according to Dr. Jean-Michel Cohen.

They are not miracle foods

These products are not miracle solutions for improving the microbiota, though they can play a role in a balanced diet.

French dietary recommendations

The French nutritional guidelines recommend two dairy products per day for adults and three for children, emphasizing variety rather than excessive consumption of any single product.

Live cultures and digestion

Some fermented dairy products, particularly those with live cultures, may aid in lactose digestion.

Calcium’s broader role

The role of calcium extends beyond bone health to other bodily functions.
