Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt is different from other types of yogurt because the whey is removed during the straining process. Whey is a liquid that contains lactose, a natural sugar found in milk.

Greek yogurt is a dairy product rich in nutrients and loaded with potassium and calcium, two minerals that help control blood pressure. According to a study of 28 research, eating three servings of dairy per day was linked to a 13% lower risk of hypertension, and increasing your daily dairy intake by 7 ounces (200 grams) was linked to a 5% lower risk. Probiotics are also included, which help maintain a balanced bacteria in the gut. Consuming Greek yogurt may reduce type 2 diabetes risk as well as blood pressure.
