Drinking Kefir

Kefir is an ancient healing superfood from the Caucasus Mountains that has provided microbiome support for over 2,000 years. It’s an all-natural, fermented dairy drink that’s high in protein, calcium, and vitamin D. The 12 live and active probiotic cultures in our kefir may help to support a balanced gut microbiome and healthy immune system. 70-80% of the cells that make up the immune system are located in the gut, so nourishing it with probiotics may help to keep it balanced and ready to fight off infection. The gut plays an integral role in protecting you against pathogens and viruses. Just as your skin protects you against foreign invaders on the outside, your gut lining protects you on the inside.

90% of serotonin, a hormone that affects mood, is produced by the cells in the gut. An unbalanced gut can trigger anxiety, depression, and mood swings, which can weaken your immune system. Research has shown that probiotic foods decrease anxiety and boost mood. There are so many ways to enjoy kefir, use it as a dairy substitute in your favorite recipes, pour it over granola and fresh berries, or enjoy it on its own for an on-the-go delicious snack.
