Note :

The Truth about yogurt - Low-fat or Fat-free Yogurt :

Yogurt gives your kids calcium which ensures strong bone density and growth.

In addition,it is filled with probiotics which help their digestive health by breaking down
food and supplementing their digestive tract's existing flora and bacteria.

Don't buy the flavored brands of yogurt because those are full of added sugars and
preservatives which can cancel out the nutritional benefits.

Instead,to get those little taste buds interested,purchase the plain light yogurt and add
some fresh fruit and granola.
