How to make milk kefir

Fermented Beverages

With all the artificially carbonated sodas and flavored coffee drinks out there, it's hard to think of popular modern beverages as healthy. It is time to return to lacto-fermented beverages, which contain beneficial probiotics, enzymes, and minerals instead of hundreds of grams of refined sugar.

Some scholars believe that the "new wine" consumed in the Bible was a nonalcoholic lacto-fermented beverage ( though I rather believe and prefer it was simply fermented red grape juice: WINE! ). These drinks also promote rapid hydration and enhanced digestion. Some typical fermented beverages available today include kefir, grape cooler, natural ginger ale, kombucha, and kvass.

These lactic-acid-rich drinks help relieve intestinal problems, including constipation. They can strengthen the sick and promote overall well-being and stamina and are even considered superior to plain water in their ability to relieve thirst during physical labor.

Remark: Any diary product in itself, produces lactic acid, which if consumed over a long time and for the majority of people can actually cause inflammation in the body. It can also contribute to "acidosis" a new general term of the body being too acidic instead of alkalyne. Acidosis causes many illnesses, such as osteo arthritis, rhumatoid arthritis, cancers, and many others which I will cover in another article.

Get Lactose Tolerant

The healthful probiotic bacteria that speed the lacto-fermentation process along feed on the lactose in milk, leaving behind a substance called galactose. This mono saccharide sugar is easily digestible.
