5 Indian probiotic alternatives to Yakult |

Share with anyone who will find it useful!
Yakult has 38% more sugar than coke! A tiny 65ml bottle of Yakult has 2.4 teaspoons of sugar, whereas coke has 1.7 teaspoons of sugar per 65ml. Since Yakult comes in small 65ml sizes, it is very easy to consume 2-3 Yakult bottles in one-go.

Dr Pal, this is the one KZbin channel that has successfully managed to change my eating habits. Eating after 6 is a thing of the past for me now and even though I am on some steroid medication, my weight seems to be relatively stable because of this. I feel much lighter and my body has stabilised to this routine now. Hoping to continue the same further ahead. Thank you! 🙏

[@Shiela1477]

[@TheMadhulika1]

This is awesome! our grannies always knew what was best to our gut which we thought it is old fashioned & stated to consume more & more packaged foods in the name of becoming modern or civilised! The real question is are we any more healthy & joyful than our previous generations? Thank you Dr.Pal & foodpharmer for showing the world what is the alternate way of doing! Too too good love it and need more such videos that will highlight the benefits of simple home made Indian foods that our grandparent & great grandparents used to have, following the “6 taste concept” as defined in Ayurveda!

[@josephs4044]

Don't get fixated on the past. There are good things everywhere. Indian foods is one of the worst in the world: overcooked, very high in carb, low on essential proteins, high on fried, low on fruits and vegetables, , ... Sensible people learn from everyone and move on...

[@Kathakathan11]

Definitely not healthy than grannies. But few grannies are nasty, sorry but facts. So happy? Depends They lived a confined life, we have much more freedom, much more choices. And we know how to set boundaries.

[@sunilmathew9610]

So most of us are using pasteurised milk and the question is does the curd made of pasteurised milk have enough probiotic ?

[@smsabnam]

Yes, because the curd starter or inoculum has bacteria which will then multiply and turn the milk into curd. Pasteurising milk just ensures there is no harmful bacteria in the milk itself.

[@basicsofnutrition4697]

almost all of beneficial bacteria in curd get killed by stomach acid, only benefit of curd is that the beneficial bacteria break down lactose so the curd feels easy on the gut

[@aprilblossoms4]

Not really. Yoghurt has probiotics but not a lot. Probiotic supplements are useful especially to repopulate gut bacteria post having a course of anti biotic or if you have been eating lots of processed/junk food.

[@vinayravi9343]

Yogurt is not curd. ​@@aprilblossoms4

[@manan-543]

​@@aprilblossoms4but the microbiome is unique to every individual. You don't know which bacteria you have. Or which bacteria u need. Also which bacteria were wiped out by antibiotics. Those bacteria u consume have to go through the harsh acidic environment of the stomach. Even after reaching the small intestine they have to face the already existing bacteria there. We are still far from tailoring probiotics for our own gut biome. It's still worth a shot if you have had a big course of antibiotics or if u have IBS. But it's not the only thing that'll improve your gut health

[@ashajose1246]

I used Yakult to set in curd and that’s my probiotic now . No more probiotics with loads of sugar. Am happy with the homemade one ..

[@divyanshbhutra5071]

When Yakult came out, we had started taking it daily. It continued for a few weeks. But our doctor clearly told us to stop drinking it, and instead make extra curd at home, and eat a large bowl of it. Best probiotics. Plus a lot of other nutrients severely lacking in processed foods.

[@NoName-mi6le]

The first time I tasted Yakult , I was shocked at the sweetness/sugar in it. Obviously, never brought it again. Happy that someone brought this up.

[@MrYogeshwarad]

Wonderful content, wonderful collab by two wonderful people. Well, I have a query. Dahi is good pribiotic. But as Dr Pal said Probiotic loose its significace with Sugar. But I love eating Dahi+Sugar. It is my faviourate dish. So should I dump it ? another similar example would be Lassi.

[@leekshikapinnamneni4835]

You can have sweet and probiotics in moderation. Just not every day. Think of them as desserts rather than beneficial foods. If you like yogurt with sugar, maybe use coconut sugar or palm sugar instead of cane sugar. Sweeten your yogurt sparingly every now and then, and get used to the original flavor. Lassi should also be an occasional indulgence. Dr. Paul never tells you to avoid some thing that you enjoy. Just don’t fool yourself into thinking that sweetened food and drink as well as alcohol are healthy.

[@MrYogeshwarad]

@@leekshikapinnamneni4835 Thanks dear for Prompt responce. I had never tried coconut/palm sugar, infact I am unaware of it. I will try with it.

[@MrSutharsan2]

Eat dahi with honey! Honey has prebiotics in it (which feed the probiotics and help them multiply) and is a far healthier form of sugar. Make sure to get raw honey or unprocessed honey. Source for the claim about honey have prebiotics: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9367972/

[@WeAreOnABreakBreak]

When Should we eat the probiotics? Can we eat it on an empty stomach? When can we achieve the best results? I usually eat my first meal as Brunch around 11.30 am and dinner before 6pm. I usually eat salads which contain vinegar and sour cream with my lunch.

[@proshem]

Great collaboration. For the greater cause

[@gldkrn]

A year ago , i was suffering with ibs , and when it was at the peak, i noticed that those probiotic drinks and probiotic yoghurts did help me more than the probiotic tablets doctor had prescribed to me. But i agree they are not the most healthy options for daily consumption.

[@daywill8849]

Are you still suffering with it?? If no then what measures did you take?

[@gldkrn]

​@@daywill8849 I've stabalized. Measures: 1. Eliminating Simple carbs like rice & wheat-roti, replacing them with multigrain roti. I also had to avoid specific spices like pepper and red-chilli. Atleast one whole cucumber a day and yooghurt pretty much with every meal. Close to no packaged food(especially sugary ones). Switching to lactose -free millk. LOTS of fruits(which are not very sweet) For snacks I would try multigrain based non-fried chips... 2. Dinner btw (6.30-8pm), When i ate was more imp than what i ate. i had to fix my routine of all my three meals. 3. Sleep was a very crucial step. Earlier i used to sleep whenever i felt like . But i had to change it all. Sleep by max 11pm. Atleast 8 hrs. During peak IBS if i slept less than 8hrs, i would wake with uneasiness in gut. I did above 3 steps for 4-5 months I think treating IBS is like basically fixing Lifestyle, you need to identify whats wrong with your lifestyle , and fix them one at a time.🙂 Take care

Fibers do help, no?

[@johnlocke4226]

Dr. Pal, sorry, this might be off topic. In the fasting window, does the number of times one eats, matter? My fasting insulin level was 18.1, Hba1C 5.5, FBS 92.6, and post prandial 107. A doctor named Dr. Jagannath Dixit who has waged a war against type 2 diabetes urges the public not to eat more than twice in the eating window. He says each meal causes an insulin spike and more than 2 insulin spikes leads to insulin resistance, and later type 2 diabetes. Thoughts? Can you please make a video on frequency of eating in the fasting window? Thanks much.

You truly stand out among others by offering your services without any fee. I admire how you are similar to the famous Dr. Kalam in India, as he always prioritized the well-being of his people and his country throughout his life. I believe you also have a similar commitment to serving India. Please refrain from mentioning your family, such as your wife, during media interviews as we are solely interested in your professional expertise. I understand that some individuals possess the ability to save or support others, but non-professionals can only offer assistance in smaller ways, much like our parents and family members. Occasionally, people might not appreciate their speeches, but please remember that many individuals consider doctors to be next to god in terms of faith and belief."
