Doogh has many properties and for this reason, it has become one of the most popular dairy drinks. The world of dairy may not be colorful, but this white world is full of variety and appeal, and among the vast variety of dairy products, doogh has one of the most unique flavors. Perhaps in the past, drinking doogh was only common in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean countries, but now the fame of this delicious drink has spread to all parts of the world.

According to the Public Relations Department of Iran Dairy Industries Company (Pegah), these days there are many different types of doogh in the refrigerators of stores, and you can choose according to your taste and enjoy the benefits of doogh.

The properties of doogh for human health are countless. Join us to learn everything you need to know about this dairy drink.

Nutritional Value of Doogh
Many countries in the Middle East and the Mediterranean region have differing opinions on the authenticity of doogh and claim ownership of this drink. Many people believe that doogh is an authentic drink of our country, Iran. The nutritional value of doogh is very significant, and for this reason, introducing it as a national drink is of great importance. The properties of doogh produced by different companies may vary to some extent, so pay attention to this issue before purchasing doogh.

The benefits of doogh for health are due to the presence of useful nutrients such as calcium and other beneficial divalent ions. Drinking just one glass of doogh a day can supply a quarter of the human body’s daily calcium requirement. Another reason for the high nutritional value of doogh is the presence of a significant amount of protein, and since doogh is easier to digest than milk and yogurt, nutritionists frequently recommend consuming doogh after meals.

The Most Important Health Benefits of Doogh
In recent years, the health benefits of doogh have received a lot of attention from nutritionists and food industry experts. The properties of doogh on human health have made it a suitable alternative to soft drinks; therefore, nutritionists recommend that parents include this drink in their children’s diet. Usually, children show a lot of interest in flavored milks and doogh among dairy products. In the following, we will learn more about some of the most important health benefits of doogh.

Properties of Doogh for Bones
Doogh, like other dairy products, is rich in calcium and phosphorus, and therefore its consumption can be useful in preventing osteoporosis. Consuming one glass of doogh can supply part of the body’s calcium needs, so it is better to drink at least a few glasses of doogh per week. Doogh contains significant amounts of vitamin D, which, along with calcium, is considered one of the benefits of doogh for bone health.

Doogh and Relieving Heatstroke
Having a cold nature is one of the properties of doogh, which has made it an excellent option for quenching thirst and relieving heatstroke. Doogh is made up of a large amount of water, which can help reduce inflammation and tension in the body when exposed to heat. Drinking a glass of cool mint doogh is like pouring water on fire, and we recommend that instead of industrial fruit juices and harmful soft drinks on hot days of the year, drink a glass of cold, low-salt doogh.

The Effect of Doogh on the Digestive System
The presence of lactic acid is one of the properties of doogh, and the probiotic bacteria present in this dairy drink help digest food better. These bacteria prevent the growth of harmful microbes in the stomach and intestines and cause health and improved performance of the digestive system. Drinking doogh can help improve the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and is also useful for controlling problems such as intestinal mucosal inflammation, diarrhea, and stomach infections.

Benefits of Doogh for Pregnant Women’s Health
Doogh contains appropriate amounts of protein, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and calcium; therefore, its consumption is recommended for pregnant women, especially in the first three months of pregnancy. Usually, women’s bodies become dehydrated during pregnancy, which causes constant fatigue and frequent headaches for them. Drinking doogh is a healthy and suitable choice to prevent dehydration in pregnant women.

Doogh and Improving Sleep Quality
Drinking dairy products before bed greatly helps regulate the circadian rhythm and improve sleep quality. Doogh is one of the fermented milk products and therefore contains the main protein in milk, namely casein. The peptide units of casein protein contain high amounts of the amino acid tryptophan, which are effective in improving sleep status. Melatonin is the most important hormone in the body for regulating the nighttime sleep rhythm, and dairy products such as doogh contain appropriate amounts of melatonin.

Medicinal Plants Suitable for Improving the Properties of Doogh
The health benefits of doogh are amazing; however, if we add medicinal and aromatic herbs to it, not only does it taste better, but the properties of doogh in this case will be several times more effective. These medicinal plants are often readily available and reasonably priced. The use of the following medicinal plants along with doogh plays a prominent role in traditional Iranian medicine.

In “Seven-Herb Doogh”, the new product of Iran Dairy Industries Company, the extract of 7 plants is used, which has excellent and beneficial properties for the body. Enjoy!
