Kefir is quickly and easily digestible and stimulates all digestive processes.
Doctors recommend using it for obesity, as it normalizes metabolism, moreover, it is useful for diseases of the liver, stomach and pancreas.
In case of poisoning, this fermented milk product plays the role of an antiseptic, killing harmful microorganisms, normalizing the acid-base environment, and also promotes the rapid exit of all harmful elements from the body. And all this is due to the composition of kefir.
Benefits of kefir
You can always take the drink regardless of the time of day. Recently, many people have touched upon the topic of drinking fermented milk products at night. Unfortunately, opinions are divided here.
But drinking it at night is not only possible, but also necessary, because it helps restore the carbohydrate balance when we sleep. Moreover, calcium, which is part of the product, is absorbed at night, and it also relaxes and soothes.
Many experts recommend drinking it before bed for people with mental disorders and insomnia.
The main thing to remember is that this drink should be taken exclusively cold; it should never be heated, as the beneficial elements will simply evaporate.
Tryptophans, which are contained in kefir, will help you get a sound sleep and have a good rest after a hard day at work, even in a short period of time.
It is good to drink it in the evening and for those who are trying to get rid of extra pounds. It suppresses appetite and normalizes digestive processes.
The category of people who should not take the product late at night includes those whose body eliminates fluid too quickly. In this case, you will have to calculate the time and drink it no later than two hours before bedtime.
Losing weight with kefir
Kefir can also be taken as a product during a diet, if you need to lose weight. Thanks to it, the body is supplied with useful microelements, and everything harmful is quickly eliminated.
Kefir will also help you forget about overeating once and for all. And to get rid of excess weight, take only fresh kefir, which is no more than a day old, because this is the product that helps to renew the body's microflora.
Choose a drink whose fat content does not exceed 2.5%, and also forget about low-fat kefir, because it will not satisfy your constant feeling of hunger, but will only irritate your taste buds.
