Water kefir – healthy not only for the intestines
In addition to various yeast fungi, the finished water kefir also contains various lactic acid bacteria.
- These have a positive effect on your intestinal flora. For this reason, water kefir is also often referred to as a probiotic drink.
- When preparing the drink, a fermentation process occurs. For this reason, water kefir also contains a small amount of alcohol in addition to carbon dioxide.
- The vitamins contained in the drink are also good for your health. In addition to vitamin A, water kefir also contains vitamins B1, B2, B6, and B12 as well as vitamin C and vitamin D.
- For example, vitamin C not only strengthens your immune system. It is an important building block for collagen, which the body needs as part of the connective and supporting tissue.
- The drink is also said to prevent migraines and alleviate allergies. However, the health-promoting effect of water kefir in these areas has not yet been scientifically proven.
