Benefits of Homemade Kefir

Boost your health and drink homemade kefir everyday! Here are the 13 benefits of homemade kefir.

Drinking kefir everyday has long been believed to promote long life and increase overall health.

This folklore led to many more recent scientific studies, which have also shown that a daily dose of kefir strengthens health and has many benefits on the body. It all comes down to the uniqueness of the kefir grain.

The kefir grain works on a basis of harmony, or a symbiotic community, which, when consumed, goes on to promote harmony in the body.

This symbiotic community means that the microorganisms, including many kinds of bacteria and yeasts, have a mutually beneficial relationship within the kefir grains.

These compounds have bioactive characteristics meaning that they have an effect on the human body as well. Ingesting kefir milk has both probiotic and prebiotic effects.

The probiotic advantages are that kefir milk transfers good bacteria into the digestive tract to assist the body.

The prebiotic compounds enter the body and promote the actual growth and colonization of good bacteria in the same area of the body.

The double profits of probiotics and prebiotics when drinking kefir as well as the minerals and amino acids it contains lead to many health benefits.
