Kefir

Kefir is a unique fermented milk product that has been used in European and Asian folk medicine for curing a big variety of medical conditions. It's one of the most probiotic rich foods in the world which is loaded with valuable vitamins and minerals which contains easily digestible complete proteins and the cocktail of beneficial bacteria that improves health in many ways. This interesting name - kefir, comes from the Turkish word "keif", which means "good feeling". If you are curious how it tastes, it is very similar to a greek yoghurt. If you're still not convicted why you should add kefir to your everyday diet, here are some benefits kefir can provide you if you use it regularly:

1. Helps fighting the cancer - regular kefir consumption helps stop cancer cells growth.
2. Kefir is supporting detoxification - because of lactic acid bacteria, kefir is killing aflatoxins and other funguses which is important for healthy genetic expression.
3. Strengthening immunity - Because of its richness in bacteria, it's healing better than antibiotics.
4. Builds bone density - Kefir is increasing the absorption of bone building minerals of calcium and magnesium.
5. Kefir is healing Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and reducing bowel inflammation - this is happening because of the high doses of probiotics, including the strains of lactobacillus and bifidobacterium.
6. It has positive effects on allergies and asthma - because of strong anti-inflammatory properties.
7. Improves Lactose Intolerance 


Best of all is that you can buy kefir in stores or you can make it by yourself and that way you can control on calories intake. If you prefer kefir from store, choose the one which is low in sugar and added flavors, and then try flavoring it yourself at home where you have control over the amount of sugar being used. And if you are making it by yourself, the best way to keep it is in glass bottles.
That's all from me today. Kefir is, beside kombucha, my favorite drink when is made correctly. So try it, you can only improve your health.
