The milk of a cow is most commonly used to make yoghurt and the milk from water buffalo, goats, sheep, camels and yaks are also used in many parts of the world. Yoghurt is also spelled yogurt or yogourt, it is the dairy product produced by bacterial fermentation of milk. The bacteria used in making yoghurt are known as “yoghurt cultures”. The fermentation of lactose by the bacteria is produce lactic acid in which the milk protein acts to give yoghurt’s texture and its characteristic tang.

One cup of Strawberry contains an incredible 136 percent of the RDA of Vitamin C that helps to lower blood pressure. It also contains 21 percent of manganese that acts as a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, helps in maintaining proper bone structure.
In early research, there are finding that strawberry preserves brain function by reducing the cell-damaging inflammation and oxidation. The scientists from Chicago Healthy Aging Project, reveal that adult people with less cognitive decline when they consume strawberries at least once a month. When a woman consumed more than one serving of strawberries a month had a 16.2 percent slower rate of mental decline rather than those who consumed less.
When you include strawberries in your diet, one cup of it is contains over 13 percent of the RDA of dietary fiber. Antioxidant, strawberries contains chemical compound called phenols. Anti-inflammatory, the phenols in the fruit can fight against osteoarthritis, asthma, and atherosclerosis. Anti-cancer, when the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory are combine, can fight against the onset of many different forms of cancer.
Broccoli is a plant in the cabbage family that has a large flower head used as a vegetable. It contains multiple nutrients with a potent anti-cancer such as diindolylmethane and has a small amount of selenium. Broccoli is high in vitamin C and a dietary fiber as well. It has the highest levels of carotenoids and rich in lutein and can supply beta-carotene.
It contains the compound glucoraphanin that can be processed into an anti-cancer compound sulforaphane but the benefits reduced when the vegetable is boiled. Broccoli is good source of indole-3-carbinol; this is a chemical which boosts DNA repair in cells and appears to block the growth of cancer cells.
It has been found that in a high intake of broccoli can reduce the risk of prostate cancer. And can prevent the heart disease when consumed.
It demonstrate from the researchers of Oregon State University that a phytochemical found in cruciferous vegetables, sulforaphane is able to selectively target cancer cells in prostate patients and leave healthy cells alone.
At this time, the researchers are performing clinical trials in the use of sulforaphane in prostate and breast cancer. Lead author Emily Ho says, “Just because a phytochemical or nutrient is found in food doesn’t always mean its safe, and a lot can also depend on the form or levels consumed,” she said in a statement that. “But this does appear to be a phytochemical that can selectively kill cancer cells, and that’s always what you look for in cancer therapies.”
