For growing children, protein and calcium are essential nutrients, and the most convenient way to supplement these nutrients is through drinking fresh milk. However, not every child can drink fresh milk. According to statistics, about 70% of people in Taiwan have lactose sensitivity, making it challenging for many lactose-sensitive children to get enough calcium from fresh milk. In light of this issue, nutritionists recommend switching to yogurt. Yogurt not only retains calcium and protein but also reduces lactose sensitivity issues while providing beneficial bacteria, making it an ideal choice for healthy growth in children.

Yogurt is made from fermented milk or other dairy ingredients and has a nutritional value similar to that of fresh milk. During the fermentation process, most of the lactose is converted into lactic acid, making it suitable for those with lactose sensitivity. Furthermore, nutritionists recommend choosing the market-leading "AB Plain Yogurt," which contains up to 100 million beneficial bacteria that can withstand gastric acid and bile acid, promoting intestinal health and supplementing calcium and protein to help children get a head start in their growth.

Nutritionists also suggest that, in addition to yogurt, daily diets can include calcium-rich foods such as tofu, dark green vegetables, and small dried fish to provide diverse nutritional support for healthy development. They share a recipe combining calcium-rich black sesame with yogurt to create black sesame yogurt, which is not only delicious but also effectively boosts calcium intake for children's health.
