Did dipping chicken and yogurt in it cause changes in muscles and bones?

 

To maintain muscle while paying attention to weight, chicken breast, a typical high-protein, low-fat food, is helpful.

However, the texture is rough, which is a disadvantage. How about mixing it with yogurt (standard spelling: yogurt)?

It contains a lot of calcium that improves taste and is well absorbed by the body, creating a synergistic effect with chicken.

Let's learn about a surprisingly well-matched chicken and yogurt dish.

 

 

Analyzed 100g of chicken breast... Protein 22.97g vs. Fat 0.97g

 

According to the National Standard Food Composition Table, 100g of chicken breast contains as much as 22.97g of protein, but only 0.97g of fat. This is why experts recommend chicken breast for maintaining muscle during dieting. The total amino acids needed for protein composition amount to 22,053 mg, including 11,146 mg of essential amino acids that must be obtained through food. The protein in chicken breast is well absorbed by the body and helps preserve muscle.

Calcium that is well absorbed by the body... The health benefits of yogurt

 

 

In the case of calcium involved in bone composition, absorption rate is important. Dairy products (such as yogurt) are absorbed better by the body than vegetables (according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency). If you are not inclined to drink milk, choose low-fat or fat-free yogurt products with fewer calories and saturated fats. Additionally, processed dairy products may contain high amounts of simple sugars, so check the calorie and sugar content and opt for low-sugar products. There are also calcium-fortified products available on the market, so it is advisable to carefully review the ingredient labels and choose accordingly.

 

 

Yogurt + chicken... Why do these foods pair well together?

 

The bifidus bacteria in yogurt are highly capable of synthesizing thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin B1, B2, B6, B12, and vitamin K (National Institute of Agricultural Sciences data). Vitamin B2 is essential for properly breaking down the high protein content in chicken meat and converting it into energy. The quality and quantity of yogurt protein are almost the same as those in milk. Lactic acid bacteria break down proteins, making them easier to digest. This is beneficial for people who have difficulty digesting milk due to digestive issues. It also prevents the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines, helping to maintain an appropriate level of cholesterol in the blood. The lactic acid bacteria in yogurt also have a cleansing effect on the intestines.

 

 

How to make chicken and yogurt dish?

 

If plain chicken breast is unappealing, you can also use chicken thighs. Removing the skin and fat can reduce the calorie content. Boil the chicken, chop it into small pieces, and dip it in yogurt or make a yogurt-based sauce. Mix yogurt with curry powder, red pepper powder, black pepper, olive oil, salt, and other ingredients as desired. You can also add other ingredients according to your taste. Marinate the chicken in the seasoning and mix well for 10

It can also be cooked and eaten after being soaked for a certain period.
