Podcast Episode 294: 10 Reasons I Drink Kefir Every Day

Many articles are popping up about reasons you should consume kefir, but few of the people writing the articles have consumed kefir every day for twenty-three years. This post specifically talks about milk kefir and not water kefir. My reasons for drinking kefir are very personal and specific to me. But here is what I've noticed through the many years of drinking kefir: whatever your ailment, kefir seems to address the problem on an individual basis. Tune in to learn more.

Thanks for another great video. I make kefir every few days and I do drink it every day. Been doing it for about 30 yrs. Wow, how time flies. I have systemic Candida that is pretty much on the back burner. I was terrified to use it at firs but my health was failing in spite of all the remedies I had been doing for many years. Im soooo much better drinking Kefir but definitely not completely free of Candida. I also make water kefir for my daily smoothies. I use many different modalities for my health and Im about 96% good but if I could not get kefir I would be in a world of hurt. I have been doing the SIBO yogurt for 6 months now and I believe it has addresses many lingering issues. Happy fermenting to y'all.

I drink a cup once in the morning and once before I go to bed. I'm a different person. It's amazing. With the whey I strain it and add it to my kids fruit juices they drink. Its great method to incorporate bacteria to my children. Also make kefir butter. Put in heavy cream for 24hrs strain the kefir out. Place the heavy cream that you strained out in a air tight jar and shake till you have butter. ❤

I purchased my original kefir grains from Donna and years later still using them! This stuff is in my life for ever! The kefir makes your gut HAPPY as well as all other benefits.

Just got my grains today and in the process of reviving. Wish me luck.

Thank you so much Donna for tirelessly promoting these miracle foods.
Kefir has helped me with acute acidity and food allergies like nothing else has.

I am SO excited to see how this helps me. I've been dealing with autoimmune issues, food sensitivities, blood sugar and blood pressure instability, fatigue, hormonal imbalances and dizzy/nauseous days, and severe allergies to mold that no one around me has reactions to in my home and even the office I work in. It's been so bad that I've had to sleep on the couch and avoid taking a normal shower, and never dusting anything in the office. The sinus headaches are bad enough that I throw up. We're actually going to ozone the house tomorrow.

I can occasionally access trustworthy raw A2 milk, but for now I've been able to successfully start my grains this week with goat's milk from the store, even though it's ultra pasteurized, and have just been able to start drinking it the last few days. Trying to take it slow so i don't get horrible die off reactions, but it I just keep going back with my little teacup for more. 😂Looking forward to having some wonderful turnaround stories to tell. ❤️

I had indigestion, acid, and extreme esophagus issues and kefir made it all go away. Plus I truly see it as a treat every day.

[dartagnantaft]

I drink my kefir every day, but I can't convince my family that it helps

[positivegradient]

How much do you drink per day?
And at what time?
Thanks for having such an amazing channel which is a great health resource for everyone! :)

What strains are in non-dairy kefir? I do alternate my grains between organic milk and non-dairy without rinsing them so there are traces of dairy in my almost non-dairy kefir. I was told not to consume much dairy so I've been giving away the milk kefir I make.

[davetoms]

Is there a video that shows how to do kefir? I do not have access to raw milk only storebought

[PolarBearXx]

Im planning to make a 5 gallon kombucha i just dont know how many tea bags n cups of sugar plus to flavor it like a pineappple kombucha do i cut it all and place the frhit with skin in a big 5 gallon

I have been straining my kefir and eating it like yogurt, and I haven't been using the whey. Is the kefir still beneficial without the whey?

[susandesantell]

Do you think kefir could help with skin issues like psoriasis?

[sandram]

I sometimes strain the whey as well. Am I missing out on any benefits when doing this?

[BintGumby]

Does kefir have bifobacteria? Some say yes but from Donna's info she says no so which is it?

[irenekim]

How does Kefir lower blood pressure? Does it produce magnesium in the body or tryptophan? I was really exhausted after having kefir this morning.

[pattiprater]

Donna, I am looking for the link of all the bacteria and yeast you said are in kefir which you noted at the end of your podcast. Can you please reply with it? Thank you.

What happens if you are allergic to milk? She has a lot of inflammation in her body.
