Fiber is very good for you, as it helps reduce your risk of heart disease, helps regulate your bowel movements and can also help you feel full for longer. Fiber is a form of carbohydrates that you can find in vegetables and grains. Because of the gel-like texture, your body takes longer to digest the fibers, so you stay full longer. It's best to get about 25 grams of fiber per day, so what better way to do that than with delicious fiber-rich toppings for your yogurt breakfast? For example, think of fruit, such as raspberries, pears and apples or multigrain granola or oat flakes.
In addition to fiber, proteins also help you stay full longer. In addition, you also get more energy from eating protein and it can have a positive effect on your body shape. Not every yogurt contains the same amount of protein, so it is useful to make a good choice. For example, Greek yogurt contains more protein than regular yogurt. There are also yogurt varieties with added proteins – a very nice option if you don't want to opt for Greek yogurt.
Healthy fats should also be part of your diet. Healthy, unsaturated fats can help maintain your cholesterol levels, fight inflammation and stabilize your heart rhythm. Of course, that does not necessarily mean that you only have to eat full-fat yogurt, you can also opt for a variant that contains a little less fat. In any case, make sure that you do not choose a variant without fats, because the fats also ensure that you are full faster and help your body absorb certain vitamins, such as vitamins A, D, E and K. choose to sprinkle nuts, such as almonds, hazelnuts and pecans, or seeds, such as sunflower seeds, chia seeds or flaxseeds over your yogurt, because they also contain a lot of healthy fats.
