THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE
One artificial probiotic capsule normally contains around 15 billion bacteria. A small bowl of fresh yogurt (500 ml) contains approximately 1.5 billion beneficial organisms. – 100 times more than a 15 billion capsule.
And a small bowl of fresh kefir (500 ml) contains up to 5 billion beneficial organisms. Almost 400 times more than a capsule.
Kefir and other fermented dairy products contain buffering agents that nourish and protect lactobacillus from bile acids in the stomach. In this way they can reach the intestines where they produce Vit. B-12 and help break down and package food for excretion. Dairy products are such strong buffering agents that even poison control centers recommend drinking milk when faced with a poisoning situation.
Bacteria in pill form are in a dormant cycle and bacteria in freshly made kefir and yogurt are alive and well, making them much better able to adapt to sudden changes in the environment as they enter the body. .
Kefir is considered a functional food because it works as a health promoting food. Probiotic pill supplements only offer one thing, bacteria. Kefir offers much more; minerals, vitamins, amino acids, L-carnitine, good fats, antimicrobial agents and much more.
The real thing
Don’t even think about skating easily by buying kefir or yogurt at the store. THERE IS NO COMPARISON WITH THE REAL. Store-bought kefir is made from a kind of powdered starter that pales in comparison to making kefir with real grains. More real kefir tastes much better. You can also turn royal kefir into a luscious heavy cream, which is insanely delicious. You will not find this heavy cream in the store either, it is much more liquid.
Most of the yogurts found in stores are nothing more than fancy desserts because they are loaded with refined sugar. And it is almost impossible to find a good source of live probiotics in grocery stores because they have been heated, processed, and enclosed in an airtight container. These types of processes damage or completely kill beneficial bacteria (one of the main purposes of these foods).
You must learn how to make real kefir yourself with your own kefir grains. And don’t worry if you are lactose intolerant, the bacteria in fresh kefir will break down everything in milk, lactose, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. In other words, it’s pre-digested so your body has very little to digest.
If you want to learn how to make fresh kefir in less than 2 minutes a day.
