🥛 Kefir: The Tangy Drink That Feeds Your Gut
Superfood Spotlight: Kefir
Originating from the Caucasus Mountains, kefir is a fermented milk drink made with kefir “grains” (a mix of bacteria and yeast). It’s thinner than yogurt, slightly fizzy, and loaded with probiotics that support digestion, immunity, and overall vitality. Think of it as a living beverage that keeps your microbiome thriving.
Why It’s Super:
- 🌿 Gut health hero — Rich in diverse probiotics that balance and strengthen your microbiome
- 🩺 Immune support — Helps regulate inflammation and boost defense against illness
- 💪 Digestive comfort — Aids lactose digestion, making dairy easier for sensitive stomachs
- 🧠 Mood & brain link — Gut-brain connection means better digestion can support mental clarity and resilience
- ✨ Nutrient-rich — Supplies protein, calcium, vitamin B12, and vitamin K2
