Kefir is the less known cousin of yogurt.It helps in removing aging toxins via the digestive system. It is easier to tolerate for people with mild lactose intolerance. It helps relieve skin disorders and promotes longevity. Kefir has been shown to have extremely positive effects in the digestive tract, where the balance of good and bad bacteria is the foundation of our ability to fight bacterial infection, viruses, and fungal over growths. It is also believed to slow the growth of certain tumors. There is a live probiotic bacteria found in it that is strong enough to fight off pneumonia.
You can usually find this in the refrigerated section of any health food store or grocery store.Use it as you would yogurt. It makes a great base for smoothies and the sour taste offsets fruit perfectly.
Kefir blue smoothie
Heaping 1/3 cup plain kefir
Heaping 1/3 cup filtered water
1 cup organic blueberries plus extra for topping

2.Pour into glasses and top with a couple of whole blueberries.
You can find prepared Kefir in different flavors at Baxtrom's Independent Grocers in the refrigerated area of the organic section. I like to add some regularly to my plain yogurt as well with in season fruits. It tends to be a little sour on its own so this just makes all of the amazing flavors blend together and help your body enjoy the great benefits of this product.
Enjoy!!!
