Why I Love Kefir

Why I Love Kefir

 

Kefir is a Turkish word which means “feel good”. It is a cultured and enzyme-rich probiotic drink that’s filled with friendly “good” micro-organisms that help balance your gastrointestional system.

Kefirs have been used for thousands of years as a foundational component to gut, immune system, and overall health. Our gut flora should be compromised of an abundant amount of healthy bacteria. In fact, a healthy ratio of gut bacteria is 10:1 good bacteria to bad bacteria. However, many people have the exact opposite ratio, which contributes to a variety of complaints, bowel problems and immune system compromise.
