The Whole Body Benefits with Breyers® Yogurt

The natural health benefits in every serving of Breyers® Yogurt gives your body all kinds of support for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Below are some of the ways Breyers® Yogurt can offer you great health and nutrition everyday.

Weight Loss and Energy Levels

  • Breyers® Yogurt fits in well with a diet low in fat, saturated fat and cholesterol, which health experts encourage. Even better, this low-fat snack can help you lose weight faster and maintain muscle mass as part of a reduced calorie diet. All Breyers® Yogurt varieties contain less than 2 g of fat per serving, less than 3% of the recommended Daily Value.
  • Protein is a better energy source than fat, providing less than half the calories! Yogurt protein is complete protein, with much better nutritional value. Breyers® Yogurt supplies up to 12% per 6oz serving, of the recommended Daily Value of protein.
  • Phosphorus is a major component in ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary source of energy for all living cells. Without it, your body can’t catalyze any reaction, including burning calories. Breyers® Yogurt is a good source of phosphorus, providing up to 15% of the recommended Daily Value per 6oz serving.
  • Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) is one of the eight B complex vitamins you need to help break down carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Breyers® Yogurt provides up to 10% of the Daily Value per 6oz serving recommended for a healthy diet.

Bones and Teeth

  • Calcium and phosphorus are key nutrients for bone health at any age. That’s why experts recommend consuming 2-3 servings of dairy products like Breyers® Yogurt every day. Breyers® Yogurt is a good source of calcium and phosphorus. One 6-ounce serving of Breyers® Yogurt provides up to 20% of the Daily Value for calcium and as much as 15% of the Daily Value for phosphorus per serving.
  • Regular exercise and a well-balanced diet with enough calcium may reduce your risk of osteoporosis (brittle bones).

Skin

  • Riboflavin is important to maintain good muscle tone and healthy skin. A 6oz serving of Breyers® Yogurt provides up to 10% of the Daily Value recommended for a healthy diet.
  • Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is essential for normal functioning of all cells. Breyers® Yogurt is a source of B12, providing up to 8% of the recommended Daily Value per 6oz serving.

Nerves and Muscles

  • Calcium is essential for nerve conduction and muscle contraction. Breyers® Yogurt is a good source of calcium and phosphorus.
  • Potassium is necessary for the building of muscle and for normal body growth. Breyers® Yogurt provides up to 6% of your Daily Value per 6oz serving.
  • The cells of your muscles, tendons and ligaments are maintained with protein. Breyers® Yogurt supplies up to 12% of the recommended Daily Value for protein per 6oz serving.
  • Nerves need myelin, which contains phosphorus, to send impulses from the brain to the muscles. Muscles don’t have the energy to contract without ATP, a compound containing phosphorus. Breyers® Yogurt is a good source of phosphorus, providing up to 15% of the recommended Daily Value per 6oz serving.

Heart and Blood

  • Phosphorus maintains the proper pH in your blood and stomach. It’s also a key component in phospholipids, which keep blood fat in small globules so that they don’t attach to blood vessel walls. Breyers® Yogurt is a good source of phosphorus, providing up to 15% of the recommended Daily Value per 6oz serving.

Organs and Enzymes

  • Protein is the main component of muscles, organs, and glands. Your body breaks down proteins into amino acids, then uses them to make body proteins, including organ and muscle tissue, hormones, antibodies and enzymes. Breyers® Yogurt supplies up to 12% of the recommended Daily Value of protein per 6oz serving.
  • You need phosphorus to make lecithin, which helps keep fat from accumulating in the liver (cirrhosis). Breyers® Yogurt is a good source of phosphorus, providing up to 15% of the recommended Daily Value per 6oz serving.

Eyes

  • Riboflavin is important for maintaining healthy vision and for prevention of cataracts. A 6oz serving of Breyers® Yogurt provides up to 10% of the Daily Value recommended for a healthy diet.

Stomach and Intestines (even with lactose intolerance)

  • Phosphorus helps maintain the proper pH in your stomach so you can digest what you eat. Breyers® Yogurt is a good source of phosphorus, providing up to 15% of the recommended Daily Value per serving.
  • The live and active cultures in Breyers® Yogurt help to promote overall good health of the digestive tract.
  • If you’re sensitive to lactose in dairy products, health experts recommend fermented milk products that have live and active cultures, such as Breyers® Yogurt. These live and active cultures break down lactose so that they’re easier to digest without discomfort. Breyers® Fruit-on-the-Bottom, Creme Savers, Disney themed Breyers® Swirled Yogurt, and Smooth & Creamy yogurts contain live and active cultures that help break down lactose for you. Breyers® Light has 10 times the yogurt cultures of regular yogurt
