If you’re a gut-health fanatic, you need to know about kefir, like, yesterday. Kefir is another popular fermented food/drink that is usually made from milk. It’s similar in consistency to yogurt, but it’s a bit more liquidy. It also has a similar taste to yogurt, but tends to be tangier. It comes in a variety of types and flavors, but if you want the full benefits, we recommend trying a non-flavored, milk kefir. Kefir is made from kefir “grains” that are used in the fermentation process. Here’s why you should drink kefir.
While you may think yogurt is good for live probiotics, kefir outshines all yogurt in the number and variety of active probiotics it contains. In fact, it has millions of probiotics, with over 300 different types.
These types of beneficial bacteria help your gut health by aiding digestion and other important processes in the body. Kefir is not only good for your gut health, but it has been found to improve cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
Kefir is also rich in so many different vitamins and minerals that your body needs. It has protein, calcium, Vitamin B12, magnesium and so much more! Just a small serving of kefir each day can improve your health and nutrition, which is why we highly recommend you try it out!
