Coconut water kefir is an excellent food/drink for the microbiome. Kefir has been known for thousands of years for its anti-aging and immune-enhancing properties. Kefir means “feel good” in Turkish, and that’s just how you’ll feel after drinking a glass each morning.
Excerpts from The Body Ecology Diet, by Donna Gates…
1. Kefir completely stops your craving for sugar.
2. It helps to heal the gut – (a.k.a. the human microbiome) – which is 90% of your immunity!
3. It aids in digestion of all foods.
4. It has a tonifying effect on the intestines – even flattening the abdomen!
5. It appears to cleanse the liver. In Chinese medicine, the liver rules the skin, eyes, and joints. Coconut water kefir eases aches and joint pains. Many people report having a prettier complexion. They experience brown liver spots on the skin fading away and skin tags, moles or warts drying up and disappearing. Vision also improves.
6. It contains high levels of valuable minerals, including potassium, natural sodium, calcium, and magnesium, which explains why the hair, skin and nails become stronger and have a prettier shine.
7. It appears to have a beneficial cleansing effect on the endocrine system (adrenals, thyroid, pituitary, ovaries). Women find their periods are cleaner, healthier; some who had experienced early menopause have found this important monthly cleansing returning again.
8. It increases energy and gives you an overall feeling of good health.
