I can’t stand nonfat yogurt. It is chalky. Can I get the same benefits from full-fat yogurt? I kinda doubt the old lady ate nonfat yogurt.
I really wish I could eat yogurt without gagging.
The cheap, easy, and delicious way to get more probiotics in one’s diet is to buy the 3 lb. tub of sour cream at Costco for $4.89 — after picking up the 2 dozen cage-free, free-range eggs for $4.59. That combo is all one needs to have the ultimate keto-diet. It even turns all those chips into a health food. It goes extremely well with eggs (Eggs Benedict), soups, casseroles, etc. It even has a built-in timer requiring you to consume it before it spoils in approximately two weeks — forcing you to eat as much as possible before then. Pretty nearly the perfect food — at a lower price than practically anything else. I tolerate it very well as an ordinarily lactose-intolerant person.

Wow, what a fascinating article. I have tended to rather simplistically think aging was just driven by telomeres shortening, like a fuse burning down until nothing was left and cells became unable to viably regenerate. This article shows the relationship between telomeres, cancer and aging is much more complex, and how many other factors there are to consider.
Anybody got a highball recipe with yogurt and whiskey in it?
In summary, it’s your genes.
More than that, it’s also your lifestyle and diet............

LOL!
...and a helluva lot of luck! Please don’t scare me anymore with talk of lifestyle and diet!😎
Studies have shown that all sorts of fermented foods contribute to good health.
I knew an Ethiopian veterinarian who told me that areas where Injera - a bread made of fermented teff batter - was a staple had far less disease than areas where it wasn’t used.
And fermented vegetables like kimchi and sauerkraut have been shown to be healthful.
Most of the microbes that constitute the human immune system are in the gut.
Yes! And a version called raita is common in Indian cooking.
No, but I’ll start eating more sourdough bread and drinking more red wine. Last week, I paired steak with a bottle of GSM wine that was much pricier than I usually buy. Nearly polished off the bottle myself, drank 4 glasses. Notably, I had no hangover the next morning. Blood sugar was up a bit, though. Obviously, more testing is called for.
I don’t think it matters; the fermentation breeds the microbes you need whether it’s whole milk or not.
But I think you need to get a decent starter from a place that specializes in yogurt starters. You’re not going to have good results trying to start it from a supermarket yogurt.
My uncle never had a diet in his life. He’s 102 and is worried about getting his drivers license renewed. Walks1/2 mile day. Good conservative loves Israel
Walking with steepness included appears to be the common deniminator for longer living population pockets around the world. Not what you eat per se.
I’ve posted this before, remembered from when these ads were on TV a lot.
Dannon Yogurt.

The vanilla Greek version is pretty tasty. My husband who never ate yogurt eats this every day. He adds organic honey granola to it. I eat a nontat Chobani fruit yogurt mixed with Dannon nonfat plain yogurt with almonds, cranberries and granola added every day.
