We are all health-conscious these days. And so we are all very particular about the sort of food that goes into our system. A lot of health drinks in the market promise to make you fitter, leaner, meaner, healthier and any other quality you may desire to be. A lot of that advertising leaves us confused about what most of those drinks really contain and why they are healthy. Or how they help us to keep fit and lean. Just like Vikash here is wondering on Answers – What is a pro-biotic drink?

I really liked the answer Tygress has sourced from Wikipedia:

A pro-biotic drink is a drink that contains active cultures (live bacteria) in it. This is intended to help you digest food better. Your stomach naturally contains bacteria that digests food, but sometimes you do not have enough of it. Yogurt is one thing that contains active cultures, all brands, not just Activia. Activia just has a different strain of bacteria in it than other standard yogurts.

Do you know anything more about pro-biotic drinks? Whom are they most useful for? Answer away or leave us a comment.

Does this make you feel like indulging in some yogurt immediately?

Here are some recipes you can use:

Making Yogurt

Sweet Lassi/Yogurt

Yogurt Chutney

Yogurt Raitha
