      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Participants will be randomly assigned using random blocks (ratio 1:1) for two groups (a control group and an intervention group). In this way, the double blocks will be created by someone outside the study. Then, a block is randomly selected to determine the assigned groups for the first two participants. In order to blind the researchers of this project, the assigned group will be placed in sealed envelopes by a person other than the researcher and a person outside the study, and in this way the allocation will be concealed. During the study, as each participant enters the study, according to the order, an envelope is opened and the assigned group is determined, Blinding description: In order to blind the interventions, fortified yogurts (including two types of intervention yogurt and low-fat conventional yogurt) will be provided to people in deposable containers with the same color, smell, taste and appearance, which will be named with the letters A and B. The process of filling the yogurt containers and naming them will be done by someone outside the study, and the members of the research team and the participants of the different groups will be unaware of the type of intervention and the type of yogurt they received, so that the principles for blinding will be accomplished.</study_design>
