IMMUNITY: The probiotics in kefir may help support a healthy gut, where 70-80 percent of the cells that make up the immune system are located. Kefir contains a crazy amount of different probiotics – anywhere between 10 and 34 types compared to yogurt’s mere 2 to 7. Among those beneficial bacteria strains, one is found only and exclusively in Kefir: Lactobacillus Kefir, which helps defend the body from harmful bacteria like salmonella and E. Coli. In addition, this super fermented food also contains Kefiran, another compound found only in Kefir. This is a powerful ally against candida overgrowth and one of the main reasons why I started making it at home on a regular basis.

YOGURT Here are a few important differences between these two probiotic foods:Milk Kefir has many health benefits and is one of the richest sources of probiotics! Kefir is a mesophilic culture, which means that fermentation happens at room temperature. Usually, Yogurt culture is thermophilic, so fermentation requires a raised temperature of 100 – 110 F. This detail alone makes Kefir an easier process than Yogurt. Once activated, Kefir grains can be reused indefinitely. They will actually grow and multiply to the point that I have to separate them into different batches and give some away to friends and family. Yogurt starters can also be reusable. In which case, after making the first batch of yogurt, it’s possible to culture new fresh milk by mixing in some of the previous batches. So, don’t forget to save some before finishing the whole batch, or you’ll have to use and activate a new starter packet next time you want to make yogurt. And finally, what I think is the most important difference: Kefir contains yeasts and a far larger range of bacteria than Yogurt. In addition, Kefir bacteria can colonize the gastrointestinal tract. Yogurt bacteria cannot colonize our GI tract, as they are transient bacteria. That means that they pass through the tract. During their passage, they help keep the digestive tract clean while providing food for the good bacteria found in a healthy gut. Similar to what prebiotics might do.When you take care of these babies they last forever...
