There’s nothing spectacular about the name of this powerful beverage. But if you take a deeper dive into its contents, you’ll discover a sea of benefits.
If you’ve not yet benefited from its potent probiotics, then you may have difficulty even imagining what it looks like. Kefir is similar to a liquid type of yogurt. This creamy beverage is packed with beneficial yeasts, which makes it more powerful than simple yogurt for maintaining optimal digestive health. It’s also loaded with an abundance of essential minerals and nutrients, including calcium and magnesium. Since kefir is low in cholesterol, sugar, fat and calories, it’s certainly healthier than any fruit juice.
