Yogurt has so many great health benefits. It contains plenty of protein, it’s great for gut health, and it helps strengthen your immune system. But did you know that it’s also a great food for decreasing the risk of getting lung cancer?
While smoking is still the leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., there are many people who’ve never touched a cigarette and still got ill. This means that not smoking is the best thing you can do to prevent lung cancer, but it turns out that eating yogurt can also help.
The research published in JAMA Oncology, which analyzed the existing data of 10 different studies with 1.4 million participants, found the link between yogurt intake and the risk of getting lung cancer. Apparently, eating even small amounts of yogurt daily helps increase the risk significantly.
Eating yogurt and fiber, in general, has an even better effect if you increase the amount you intake daily. A healthy, balanced diet has proved once again to be the key to long-term health.
