High blood pressure? Drinking kefir could lower it
Creamy and just a
little sour, kefir is becoming a favorite among gourmands and health
enthusiasts worldwide. This fermented milk drink has been shown to bring many
health benefits, and now, researchers explain how it could protect
cardiovascular health.
Kefir is a milk-based drink made by
adding kefir grains — whitish grains obtained through the fermentation of
specific bacteria and yeast — that allow it to obtain the specific creamy
thickness and slightly sour taste.
This probiotic drink has
traditionally been tied to numerous benefits — especially its wholesome effects
on the gut microbiome and digestion. But now we know that the bacteria in our
guts influence more than just a good digestion.
The microorganisms that populate our
guts have been shown to communicate
with the brain, which gives them the potential to
influence plenty of processes in our body.
A study from
last year even showed that people with coronary heart disease exhibited differences in the composition of their gut microbiota,
compared with people without this condition.

Don’t blame people for disappointing to you. Blame
yourself for expecting too much
