When you think of yogurt, it's probably in the context of a healthy, tasty snack or light lunch in your lunchbox. Usually, we like to think there are no bacteria in the food we eat. In the case of the combination of this particular bacteria and yogurt, it's actually good for you and is a natural remedy for yeast infections.
There are both good and bad bacteria. The bacteria contained in yogurt is, as you might have suspected by now, the good kind. Furthermore, not all yogurt contains these good bacteria, called acidophilus. The type of yogurt with fruit already in the carton does not contain acidophilus. Yogurt also is one of the few foods that contain Vitamin K, which helps reestablish the balance of bacteria and aids in proper digestion.
