If you've ever taken antibiotics, had stomach flu, or food poisoning, then you could greatly benefit from drinking kefir everyday. More and more studies are showing how important healthy flora is in the intestinal track. Unfortunately, unhealthy diets and overuse of antibiotics can contribute to a low intestinal flora count, causing IBS, low immune function, gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, even depression.
There are many over the counter probiotic liquids, capsules and pills you can buy. However, affordable probiotics are not much good, if any at all, and the expensive preparations are... Expensive. There is an easy and affordable way to get healthy, active, live, probiotics into your diet. The answer is kefir. Kefir is colonies of probiotics that cluster together. These clusters are called grains.
Kefir grains consist of dozens of different strains of bacteria and yeast. The bacteria and yeast play an important role in digestion, absorption of nutrients and immune function. When you have a healthy balance of flora in your intestines, it can help prevent overgrowth of any one bacteria or yeast, such as those like candida, those that cause diarrhea or those that cause food poisoning.
The healthy bacteria crowd out the unhealthy bacterial that cause infections and have a tendency to overgrow and infect tissues.
