benefits of dahi - #27242

Raj

I am really confused about all these talks about the benefits of dahi. A few weeks ago, I felt super sluggish, digestion was all off, you know? Tried all these remedies and someone recommended dahi. Honestly, I was like “why dahi?” Anyway, I gave it a shot, eating it every day. Now I don’t know if it’s just in my head or what, but my belly feels a bit better. My mom swears by the benefits of dahi and says it helped her with her gut issues years ago. I started thinking maybe there’s something to it. Like, should I just keep eating this daily? I read somewhere about how the benefits of dahi include probiotics, helping with digestion and all that jazz. But then again, is it really that effective? I’ve kinda noticed my skin looking less dull too, but is that possible because of dahi? I mean, can dahi do wonders for skin too? I feel lost, should I rely on the benefits of dahi long-term for overall health? I want to be smart about my diet but I really need to know if I’m on the right track here, you know? Like, are there any specific types of dahi I should be looking for or avoiding? Does anyone have personal experiences on this?

Doctors' responses

Dahi, also known as yogurt, does offer several benefits, primarily stemming from its probiotic content. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that can help improve gut health by balancing the gut microbiota, which might explain why your digestion feels better. Probiotics have been shown to aid digestion, potentially reduce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, and enhance overall gut function. Your skin looking less dull might also be linked, in part, to improved gut health, as there’s some evidence suggesting a gut-skin axis, where a healthier gut can impact skin conditions, although more research is needed to fully understand this link. As for whether to keep it in your diet, if you’re noticing positive changes without any adverse effects, continuing to include dahi might be a good idea. It’s usually safe for daily consumption, provided you’re not lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy. When selecting dahi, look for types labeled as having live and active cultures. This is important as not all commercial yogurts contain sufficient probiotic bacteria. Avoid those with high sugar content or artificial flavorings, as they could counteract the potential benefits. Opt for plain varieties, and if you like, add fresh fruit or honey for natural sweetness. If you have any chronic health issues or dietary concerns, it would be wise to discuss with a healthcare professional before making long-term changes to your diet. While adding dahi to your daily routine seems beneficial for you, ensure to maintain a balanced diet with a variety of nutrients to support overall health.
