Kefir contains probiotics — beneficial bacteria that support a healthy gut microbiome — as well as protein, calcium, magnesium, and B vitamins, according to Onet.
How to make kefir even healthier
Regular consumption of kefir has a positive effect on bones, muscles, and the nervous system. Thanks to its low lactose content, it is suitable even for many people with lactose intolerance.
However, experts recommend making the drink even more beneficial by adding ginger.
Why combine kefir with ginger
Ginger is known for its ability to stimulate the production of digestive enzymes, helping the gut work more efficiently. The compound gingerol has anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties, which can reduce bloating and abdominal discomfort.
In addition, ginger can speed up metabolism by increasing thermogenesis — the process of heat production in the body.
Research also confirms its antibacterial properties, which support the immune system and may help the body recover more quickly from colds.
How to prepare this healthy drink
The recipe is very simple: add some freshly grated ginger to a glass of kefir and mix well. If desired, the drink can be lightly sweetened with honey.
This duo is a quick and accessible way to support digestion, strengthen the immune system, and improve overall well-being. The drink can be prepared in just a few minutes, and regular consumption may bring noticeable health benefits.
