Especially in our country, this is a subject that is widely discussed to be consumed with food. Ayran or Coke with food? Ayran, cola or similar drinks can be consumed, especially with the wrap, which is our subject. But the healthiest is of course ayran...
As Necmi Usta, we recommend you to drink ayran with food…
Ayran, which has been diluted to reduce the sourness of sour yogurt in history and make it more usable, is one of our drinks that has been the symbol of Turkish societies since the Göktürks. Ayran is one of the drinks that we say should be included in our diet, which has an important support in the protection and improvement of our health.
BENEFITS;
1- BENEFITS TO LIQUID-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE IN THE BODY;
Due to its water content, it contributes to the body's hydration, that is, fluid balance. Lack of fluid in the body is one of the most important causes of weakness, fatigue, headache and dizziness. Insufficient water consumption, not replacing the water lost with physical activity, and some anti-edema drugs cause the fluid balance in the body to deteriorate. Electrolytes also play an important role in maintaining fluid balance in the body. When we say body electrolytes, minerals such as sodium, potassium, chlorine, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium should come to mind. Electrolytes have vital tasks such as maintaining fluid balance in the body, healthy functioning of kidney functions, maintaining acid-base balance of blood and other body fluids, and healthy functioning of heart-nerve-muscle systems. Ayran is an excellent beverage due to its water, sodium, chlorine, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium content, especially in summer months when sweating and the associated fluid-electrolyte loss are high.
2- BENEFITS TO THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM;
Since yogurt is a synbiotic, that is, both a probiotic and a prebiotic food, ayran is also an indisputable digestive friend. Thanks to the digestive-friendly probiotic bacteria and prebiotic we call inulin, it protects against constipation by ensuring the regular functioning of the intestines. Similarly, in the case of diarrhea, increased bowel movements lead to disruption of fluid and electrolyte balances in the body, and a decrease in beneficial bacteria. Also, considering that we cannot get enough energy and protein in such a disease period, ayran will be a savior drink. However, if the sugar called lactose in milk, which we call lactose intolerance, where symptoms such as gas, bloating and diarrhea frequently seen in the digestive system cannot be digested, ayran consumption will be beneficial for people with mild lactose intolerance. When making yogurt from milk, the lactose in the milk turns into lactic acid and makes the yogurt digestive friendly. As a result, considering that ayran contains a small amount of yogurt and water, I can say that symptoms such as gas and bloating are much less likely to be experienced after consuming ayran.
3- BENEFITS TO THE IMMUNE SYSTEM;
The probiotics in yogurt help strengthen the immune system and protect against cancer and infections. In general, fermented beverages rich in probiotics act as protection against colon cancer and ensure that the body's defense system cells are active.
4-BENEFITS FOR WEIGHT CONTROL;
A healthy digestive system is one of the cornerstones of weight control. It has been supported by studies that adequate calcium consumption along with the health of the digestive system supports weight loss. On the other hand, proteins provide a faster metabolism. Drinks such as milk, kefir, and ayran are protein-containing beverages and both give a feeling of satiety and accelerate metabolism. While we say that it gives a feeling of satiety, we should not forget that ayran consumed due to its water content will fill the stomach in volume and prevent unnecessary calorie intake.
5- AYRAN AS A SPORTS DRINK;
Yogurt is very rich in whey proteins. These proteins have very important functions in increasing muscle mass in individuals who do sports. Therefore, ayran, which is a drink made from yogurt, is an excellent sports drink for athletes and sportsmen, as it is rich in whey proteins and is a source of liquid and electrolyte (sodium, chlorine, etc.). After the exercise, a buttermilk made with non-fat yogurt, water, salt, basil or mint prevents the blood pressure from falling; It provides water, protein, sodium, chlorine and potassium from plants, relieves fatigue and protects muscles.
