THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE
A capsule of man-made probiotics typically contains around 15 billion bacteria. A small bowl of fresh yogurt (500 ml) contains around 1.5 billion beneficial organisms. – 100 times more than a 15 billion capsule.
And a small bowl of fresh kefir (500 ml) contains up to 5 billion beneficial organisms. Almost 400 times more than a capsule.
Kefir and other fermented dairy products contain buffering agents that nourish and protect lactobacillus from bile acids in the stomach. In this way they can reach the intestines where they produce Vit. B-12 and helps break down and package food for excretion. Dairy products are such strong buffering agents that even poison control centers recommend drinking milk when faced with a poisoning situation.
Pill-shaped bacteria are in a dormant cycle, and the bacteria in freshly made kefir and yogurt are alive and well, making them much more apt to adapt to sudden changes in the environment as they enter the body.
Kefir is considered a functional food because it functions as a health-promoting food. Probiotic pill supplements only offer one thing, bacteria. Kefir offers much more; minerals, vitamins, amino acids, L-carnitine, good fats, antimicrobial agents and much more.
the real thing
Do not even think about skating easily by buying kefir or yogurt in the store. THERE IS NO COMPARISON WITH THE REAL. Store-bought kefir is made from some kind of powdered starter that pales in comparison to making kefir with real grains. More real kefir tastes much better. You can also turn real kefir into delicious heavy cream, which is unbelievably delicious. You will not find this thick cream in the store either, it is much more liquid.
Most store-bought yogurts are nothing more than fancy desserts because they are loaded with refined sugar. And a good source of live probiotics is nearly impossible to find in grocery stores because they’ve been heated, processed, and sealed in an airtight container. These types of processes damage or completely kill the beneficial bacteria (One of the main purposes of these foods).
You must learn how to make real kefir yourself with your own kefir grains. And don’t worry if you’re lactose intolerant, the bacteria in fresh kefir will break down everything in the milk for you, lactose, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. In other words, it is predigested so that your body has very little digestion.
If you want to learn how to make fresh kefir in less than 2 minutes a day.
