Leading a healthy lifestyle might sound intimidating to a lot of people, but the truth is, when it comes to food...it has less to do with what you take out of your diet and more with the little changes you can do that could make the biggest difference. It takes integrating healthy meals, like breakfast, dinner or even snacks, into your day to make the biggest difference and set your body up to the right start.

 

For Your 40s: How to Lose Weight in a Healthy Way

 

One of the best ways you can lead a better lifestyle is to try out different healthy breakfast recipes and snack ideas. So instead of going into a complex route on how to stay healthy, we wanted to show you how simple it can actually be. Juhayna launched its very own range of Authentic Greek yogurt and it is the perfect chance to show you how easy it is to add something as tasty and nutritious to your meals.

 

 

 

Why Greek Yogurt is good for you?

 

- First of all, it's really creamy, a lot creamier and thicker, than regular yogurt, which not only means it's a joy to eat but it can also fill you up faster when you're hungry.

 

- This creaminess comes from a straining process that makes it much more concentrated and dense in the nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and active healthy bacteria that our bodies need, which differentiates it from regular or Greek-style yogurt.

- Make sure you find Greek yogurt that has 100% natural protein, like the new Juhayna Natural Authentic Greek Yogurt which actually has twice the protein in regular yogurt. That's 15G of protein per cup...

 

- So what does this protein do for the body exactly? It's basically your muscles' best friend. It helps build, maintain and repair them. So yeah, the more protein there is, the more benefit you'll get.

 

- It also has probiotics which are the nice kind of bacteria that help you have a healthy bacterial balance in your gut.

 

- Greek yogurt has a high level of Calcium, which we're all in desperate need of these days. It helps in building strong bones and helping our vital organs to function.

- With the amazing amounts of protein in this greek yogurt, can you imagine what it could do for the hair? It can really enhance your hair's health.

 

- You can do a hair mask with your yogurt to nourish, moisturize it and even help with frizz.

 

-You can also do a scalp massage of yogurt mixed with a natural oil, to help soothe an itchy scalp due to dandruff.

 

- The probiotics in Greek yogurt help keep the colon healthy which naturally helps keep the skin healthier, because it aids it in the process of detoxification.

 

- Better detoxification means your skin will have an amazing healthy glow that gets rid of dullness and fatigue.

 

- These exfoliation factors can also really help if you use it as a mask or for a gentle cleanse. It can help the skin look younger and fresher, after a while.

 

- The yogurt can actually help with acne if you apply it directly on your skin, like a spot treatment.

 

- It also helps with irritation and redness, so it can be great if you're sunburnt and apply it to the affected area.
