The Benefits of Cultured Dairy for Better Health:

Research continues to show the importance of eating healthy foods, including cultured dairy such as kefir, for better gut health, a strong immune system, and to support the microbiome. Fermented foods like kefir hold important value in this line of research due to the link between the gut-brain axis and overall health. Specifically, kefir has been shown to help diversify the microbiome, improve digestion,  reduce inflammation, and even help support healthier blood sugar levels and improve levels of satiety due to how it triggers the release of GLP-1 since it is an excellent source of protein.

In addition, kefir contains a special trio of nutrients that are vital for healthy bones: vitamin D, K, and calcium. It is also an excellent source of many B vitamins, including vitamin B12. Lifeway Farmer Cheese is also an excellent source of protein and contains live and active cultures to support a healthy microbiome.
