Description
Your gut is central to your health. Imbalanced gut flora can result in blood sugar imbalances, sugar cravings, weight gain, poor immunity, low energy and digestive disturbances. Kefir grains contain yeast and bacteria in a symbiotic relationship that colonises your gut with a healthy, balanced community of microflora, with many health spin-offs:
Benefits of milk kefir:
Colonises your gut with healthy strains of beneficial microflora
Promotes a wide variety of microflora that is believed to be even more potent than those found in yoghurt (yoghurt bacteria feed beneficial bacteria as they pass through, kefir actually provides the beneficial bacteria that stays in your gut)
Contains beneficial yeasts that are known destroy pathogenic yeasts such as candida
Cleanses, purifies and strengthens intestinal walls and helps your body become more resistant to dangerous pathogens such as E. Coli, salmonella and intestinal parasites, improving various digestive diseases and also diarrhoea
Helps assimilate nutrients in the gut and enhances the use of certain trace minerals and B vitamins
Helps your body assimilate calcium found in milk. Full cream milk is the best milk to use as it also contains vitamin K2 which keeps your bones strong and arteries clear
The lactic acid bacteria in kefir predigest lactose making it easier to tolerate for those with lactose intolerance
You can drink kefir as is (or even just have a tablespoon or two a day as a probiotic supplement), flavour it, or use it in your smoothies or bread recipes.
