KEFIR THE WONDER FOOD!

I've started making my own kefir almost 1 year ago.  What is Kefir?

Kefir is a fermented milk product that is made with live active cultures ( similar to those found in yogurt ) 

Every morning my girls have their homemade "kefir" shake. They love it with strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, blackberries... name it! Kefir is the "original" probiotic - long long before people even knew what probiotics were. By adding some kefir in your life you'll boost your immunity, have a better digestion, regulate your cholesterol and blood sugar levels. They also say that kefir can treat a variety of diseases and health conditions, as ulcer, tuberculosis, eczema, depression, anxiety, osteoporosis... 

How do you make your own kefir? You need to get your own kefir grains from someone ( like I did ) or to purchase them on internet. The kefir grains look something like that : aren't they beautiful my little babies? ;)

When you have your grains, you can start making kefir!  Its easy. You put your kefir grains into a clean glass jar. Add Milk ( organic please! ). Cover the jar and let out at room temperature for 24 hours.

How to make Kefir

DID YOU KNOW ?

 In Russia Kefir is commonly used to aid in Tuberculoses treatment? 

Kefir is easier for people to digest than milk or even yogurt, since the lactose and milk protein ( casein ) are digested by the friendly bacteria during the fermentation process!

Scientific studies in different countries show that friendly bacteria have an anti-tumour potential and act as anti-carcenogenic!
