Kuba Badach had the nickname “the prince of kefir”. The nickname comes from the fact that his father Tadeusz Badach has been associated with the District Dairy Cooperative in Krasnystaw for years. Combining this funny nickname and the fact that yesterday was the premiere of the new season of the program, in which Kuba is a juror, we at Medonet would like to remind you why it is worth drinking kefir :). And every day.
The word “kefir” comes from the Turkish term “keif”, meaning “well-being”, which perfectly reflects the effect of this drink on the body. Kefir is distinguished by the fact that it contains much more beneficial probiotic bacteria than yogurt or cheese, and even people with lactose intolerance can consume it.
Kefir is a rich source of probiotics Compared to yogurt, kefir offers three times more beneficial bacteria and nutrients, including numerous strains of probiotics that are not found in yogurt.
Kefir has strong antibacterial properties. Studies confirm that certain probiotics in kefir, such as Lactobacillus kefiri, can protect against infections. This probiotic, unique to kefir, has been shown to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Helicobacter pylori.
Kefir supports bone health and reduces the risk of osteoporosis Full-fat kefir provides not only calcium, but also vitamin K2, which is crucial for its absorption. Studies indicate that K2 supplementation can reduce the risk of fractures by as much as 81%.
Kefir aids digestion The probiotics in kefir help restore the balance of intestinal microflora, making it an effective remedy against diarrhea. Regular consumption of kefir and a diet rich in fiber can improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and alleviate the symptoms of diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, and ulcers.
Kefir lowers cholesterol Kefir can help lower blood lipids and unfavorable fatty acids that affect cholesterol.
Kefir has a beneficial effect on the appearance of the skin The probiotics in kefir help fight unwanted bacteria and pathogens that cause inflammation and infections associated with skin problems such as acne, psoriasis, rosacea and eczema. Kefir also contains alpha-hydroxy acid, which improves the condition of the skin, making it smooth and radiant.
So there is no doubt that the nickname “prince of kefir” is a compliment :D.
