Yoghurt also has an hour: The benefit increases manifold

The benefits of yogurt consumption depend not only on its content, but also on when it is eaten. Studies show that yogurt eaten at the right time makes important differences in the body, from digestion to energy.

AZpress.AZ reports with reference to milli.az that yogurt attracts attention as one of the rare foods that can be eaten at any time of the day. However, if we are talking about a single portion, that is, yogurt will be eaten only once during the day, scientific data and studies on the digestive system put a certain time period in the foreground.

According to research, if yogurt is to be eaten as a single portion, the most effective time is in the morning. The main reason for this is that the digestive system is most active in the first hours of the day. The increased stomach acid and digestive enzymes after waking up ensure that the probiotics in the yogurt reach the intestines faster and more effectively. At the same time, protein breakdown and absorption are more productive during these hours. A 2025 study found that fermented milk products eaten in the morning improve insulin sensitivity and help maintain blood sugar balance throughout the day. This shows that if yogurt is eaten in the morning, it supports not only digestion, but also general metabolism.

Yoghurt eaten in the morning does not limit its effect only to that meal. The probiotics in the composition enter the intestinal flora early in the day and have a positive effect on the digestive process throughout the day. In addition, the protein content of yogurt prolongs the feeling of satiety and can prevent sudden hunger crises during the day. This contributes both to a more balanced diet and to maintaining the energy level.
