Yogurt contains beneficial live cultures (probiotics) that support a healthy gut microbiome, improve digestion, and boost overall immunity.
Eggs are a nutritional powerhouse, providing essential nutrients like Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, selenium, and choline, which are important for brain health and metabolism.
