Did You Know...Kefir

Courtney Hart
I have a new love and I just wanted to share. For the last few months I have been downing bottle after bottle of plain kefir. I had heard through a friend it is very good for digestion so I thought I'd give it a try. About three weeks ago I ran out and just hadn't gotten more and was shocked at how downhill I went. I thought I was just avoiding all the mid-pregnancy craziness I had heard so much about. heartburn, indigestion, constipation....I really had not suffered too much yet. But the last week or so I've been a pregnant mess. I could hardly lay down my heartburn was so bad. So I did some Google research and came across....kefir! After REALLY reading about all it's health benefits I was SO sold. So I ran out and got more and not kidding within 1 day I felt significantly better. My heartburn was gone, had a ton less indigestion, and just felt more balanced. So this is not really a recipe, but, a suggestion. I use it in smoothies, with fresh blueberries, or I just drink it. I like it unsweetened but it's also good with a little bit of those stevia drops Laura was talking about.

I attached a link so you can read more....there is so much good info.
