Weight Loss , Better Digestion & Overall health -KEFIR !

We all would agree that a healthy gut is a key to good health . Keeping gut healthy not only means healthy digestion of food but also ensures that our body is absorbing all essential nutrienst and minerals from digestion processing and is building up our cells , maintaining immunity which helps us to fight any diseases etc , a good urinary health and zero inflammation . Our gut naturally contains both good and bad bacteria and to have an optimum health good bacteria should be any time more than teh bad bacteria . It is only when bad exceeds good in teh gut that we start having problems like weight gain , digestive issues , gas , bloating and many other diseases . To maintain our gut balance or to say to keep good bacteria more than bad bacteria in teh gut we should and must include probiotics in our diet . Probiotics contains all the  necessary good bacteria that if consumed daily in our diet helps  to repopulate our gut  . When good is more than bad then our health is shining !

KEFIR is one such healthy Probiotics than can be easily made at home . It is always good to consume home made kefir as it has the maximum health benefits compared to many over the shelf kefir drinks available .  Since to increase the kefir shelf life again it is tampared with preservatives and what not so the benefits gets reduced . Kefir contains millions of “good” bacteria and is absolutely safe and easily digestible with people who have problem drinking milk .  Kefir is also an excellent source of protein. Kefir also contains beneficial yeasts which help reduce the presence of intestinal parasites, and pathogens like E. coli. It is far more nutrient dense than yogurt, and is able to colonize in the intestinal tract to offer benefits unmatched by other probiotic products.

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 .
