Nigerians need to know the wonderful health benefits of KEFIR

Nigerians need to know the wonderful health benefits of KEFIR – the amazing probiotic.

Though I have tried to find out the its Nigerian/Yoruba name without much success, kefir or Kephir is a fermented milk drink similar to yoghurt (but thinner) made from kefir grains. It is the latest probiotic in town. Kefir yoghurt is originally from Eastern Europe and to be precise Russia where it was produced by innoculating fermented goat milk, sheep milk or cow milk with kefir grains.

It is been scientifically proven to be more nutritious than egg, fura de nunu, greek yoghurt, Kunun, and or any food product. Kefir is a wonderful probiotic drink because its protects gut health including the health of the vagina by helping to sustain the growth of “good” bacteria. Because Nigerians abuse a lot of antibiotics which destroy the micoflora of their digestive tract, medical experts have advised we take more of probiotics to help revive our gut health and KEFIR is the best probiotic available right now and all Nigerians should add this wonderful drink to their menu.

KEFIR = Probiotic x Immune Boosting x Gut -Enhancing x Delicious

You may keep the bottle in the fridge and best consumed in a month (will not last that long, believe me 😁).

Not that it may change colour , as fermented beverage do not really go bad in a bad way but ongoing fermentation of the live bacteria will cause the water kefir to grow stronger in oomph (flavor and taste) which some people actually prefer.
