Weight Management :
Kefir contains a fatty acid called Conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA. CLA has been shown to help reduce body fat in clinical studies. This unique fat supports proper metabolic function and helps glucose get into muscle cells, thus preventing sugars from being converted to fat in the body. Basically, it helps fat enter the cellular membranes of muscles and connective tissues to be burned as fuel. Not only that but the probiotic bacteria contained in Kefir also help maintain a healthy digestive system and reduce the amount of toxins in your entire body. Proper digestion is an important aspect of weight loss and if your body is not optimally processing food and eliminating waste, you may have a slower metabolism, more stored calories and ultimately, weight gain . Thus you must include kefir in your diet to improve over all functioning and to ultimately loose weight .
