curd benefits - #27052

Aditya

I am really confused about this whole thing with curd benefits. Last week, I was at my friend’s house, and she was talking about how curd can help with digestion and skin health. I mean, I always thought it was just a tasty side dish or something you put on your curry. Anyway, I’ve been feeling kinda bloated lately, and she was like, "You should totally try curd!" I bought a small tub of plain curd, and honestly, it wasn’t bad, but I’m not sure how much I should be eating or if there’s a right time to have it. Also, what are the best curd benefits? Like, does it really aid in digestion like she said? I read somewhere that it could be super good for your immune system too, but can someone explain how? I’ve heard mixed things about dairy too, like some people swear by it while others seem to have issues with it. If I wanted to incorporate more curd into my diet for these benefits, should I stick to plain, or is flavored okay? Just wondering if I’m overthinking this or if curd benefits are as good as everyone says. Do I need to worry about calories, or is it more about how it helps my gut? Honestly, it’s all kinda overwhelming! Anyone got some insights?

Doctors' responses

Curd, often known as yogurt, indeed has several health benefits, some of which can certainly align with your goals. First off, the probiotic nature of curd is a significant factor in aiding digestion. It contains live bacterial cultures that can help balance the gut microbiota, which is essential in reducing bloating and improving overall digestion. When your gut is in better health, this can also positively influence your immune system because a large part of your immune response is rooted in the gut. Consuming curd can thus help bolster your immune function. However, it is important to choose plain, unsweetened curd as flavored varieties often contain added sugars that could negate some health benefits. Since you’re considering incorporating curd for digestive health specifically, aim for a serving of about 150-200 grams daily, or based on what your digestion tolerates best. It’s reasonable to consume it as part of your meals or as a standalone snack. It’s worth noting that if you’re lactose intolerant or have dairy sensitivities, you might need to proceed with caution. Curd generally has less lactose than milk, but individual tolerance can vary. As for the calorie and nutritional profile, plain curd is generally low-calorie but rich in calcium, protein, and vitamin B12, making it a nutritious option. If weight control is a concern, portion sizes are key, and you may opt for low-fat versions. While incorporating curd, make sure your overall diet remains balanced. In terms of digestive health, possibly combine curd with fiber-rich foods like fruits or whole grains, as this pairing can further support gut health. If issues persist with bloating or digestive discomfort despite dietary adjustments, it could merit discussing with healthcare provider regarding underlying conditions such as IBS or other gastrointestinal disorders.
