Chris Answers Your Question About Dairy - New Video!

Chris Powell answers a question regarding consumption of kefir milk as part of her meal plan on ReshapetheNation.com in this weeks video!! (Check it out on the right)

Kefir is a fermented milk drink. Sometimes it can be more easily digested than other dairy products and can help us break down our food more effectively and efficiently, because of the good bacteria that it contains, lactobacillus acidophilus, more commonly seen as L.acidophilus

Lactobacillus acidophilus is generally considered to be beneficial because it produces vitamin K, lactase, and anti-microbial substances such as acidolin, acidolphilin, lactocidin, and bacteriocin.  In addition to beneficial bacteria and yeast, kefir contains many vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes. Particularly calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, B2 and B12, vitamin K, vitamin A and vitamin D. Tryptophan, one of the essential amino acids abundant in kefir, is well known for its relaxing effect on the nervous system. Because kefir also has an abundance of calcium and magnesium, also important minerals for a healthy nervous system, kefir in the diet can have a particularly calming effect on the nerves.

If you choose to include kefir in your menu on reshape, Chris explains why it is considered a fat, carb, and protein, if it’s whole milk kefir. You can even find kefir-cultured soy, rice, and coconut milk if you are completely lactose intolerant.
