The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a dynamic system influenced by various environmental factors, including diet and exposure to ingested probiotics, and prone to various functional impairments. These impairments are mostly related to any combination of motility alterations, visceral hypersensitivity, and changes in the mucosa, immune function, and intestinal microbiota. Intestinal microbial imbalance and immunological dysfunction have been linked to several chronic inflammatory disease states, including atopic dermatitis (AD). Disruption of the intestinal microbial balance, known as gut dysbiosis, has been demonstrated to negatively impact skin function by increasing the intestinal permeability. Consequently, the gut-skin axis may be receptive to modulation via dietary modification, namely, via ingestion of probiotics, thus representing interesting potential as an AD therapy. Kefir is an ancient probiotic food that has been demonstrated to positively impact the general condition of the digestive system, including the intestinal microbiota. However, the literature is still scarce on the impact on the gut-skin relationship of a diet containing kefir. This study, continuing research in our group, aimed to evaluate the impact of kefir intake on GI symptoms in healthy and AD skin subjects. Results showed a significant improvement in GI status, namely, in functional constipation, abdominal pain intensity, and abdominal distension, thus supporting the hypothesis that kefir intake is positively associated with improvement in GI status. The existence of a relationship between the improvement in skin parameters and the improvement in GI status after kefir consumption was established, thus reinforcing the role of homemade kefir as a potential modulator of the gut-skin axis in both healthy and atopic individuals.

J ouviu falar em kefir, mas no sabe exatamente do que se trata? Ou no conhece de todo este produto? Ento, est na hora de saber um pouco mais sobre ele e de perceber porque que deve mesmo experiment-lo.

Os gros de kefir assemelham-se, em termos de aspeto, aos floretes da couve-flor e consistem em colnias de bactrias e levedura envolvidas numa protena. Quando o leite adicionado a estes gros, os microorganismos vivos ali presentes multiplicam-se, fermentam o acar naturalmente presente no leite e transformam-no em kefir. Este um processo que dura aproximadamente 24 horas.

Em termos de sabor, a bebida fermentada que resulta da ao dos gros de kefir no leite semelhante ao iogurte grego, ou seja, tem um paladar ligeiramente azedo. Porm, a textura diferente, j que o kefir no to espesso.

Alm disso, o kefir contm quantidades muito maiores de probiticos, bactrias benficas que desempenham um papel crucial no nosso sistema digestivo, ao contriburem para a melhor digesto dos alimentos e, entre outras funes, para impedir que bactrias prejudiciais, causadores de doenas, entrem na corrente sangunea. Tambm a quantidade de protena maior no kefir do que no iogurte e ainda de salientar que o kefir tem uma quantidade de lactose muito baixa, o que o torna um produto adequado para pessoas com intolerncia lactose.

Uma forma ainda mais simples de consumir kefir optar pela compra de kefir pronto a comer. Nas lojas Lidl, encontra os preparados de kefir com fruta Milbona, com sabores a morango, laranja e manga, anans ou mirtilo.

As propriedades nutricionais (e, consequentemente, os benefcios) do kefir dependem, sobretudo, das caratersticas do leite utilizado para a sua produo. Eis algumas vantagens associadas ao consumo de kefir de leite:

Alm disso, este produto lcteo aumenta a absoro do clcio pelas clulas dos ossos, o que aumenta a densidade ssea (reduzindo, dessa forma, o risco de osteoporose).

Durante o processo de produo do kefir, mais precisamente da fermentao, a lactose naturalmente presente no leite decomposta, o que torna este produto praticamente isento de lactose. Alm disso, o kefir tambm atrasa o esvaziamento do estmago, o que tambm contribui para facilitar a digesto. Deste modo, o kefir apresenta-se como uma boa opo para os intolerantes lactose que pretendem continuar a beneficiar das propriedades dos laticnios.

Outros dos benefcios do kefir est relacionado com as suas propriedades anti-virais, antimicrobianas e anti-inflamatrias, uma vez que este alimento contribui para aumentar a produo de agentes ativadores do sistema imunitrio, protegendo o organismo contra vrus e inflamaes.

Fermenting your food can be one of the easiest and healthiest ways to take care of your digestive system. Fermentation is a special technique for saving your food. The most known forms of fermentation are wine and cheese, but there are many uncommon, and very healthy, other foods that can be fermented. Fermented foods contain lots of healthy probiotics that can cause a lot of health benefits.

According to the dictionary, fermentation is the chemical process by which molecules such as glucose are broken down anaerobically. You could say that it is the controlled process of spoiling your food but in a healthy way. It is the natural process by which microorganisms like yeast and bacteria convert carbs (like sugar) into alcohol or acids and thereby increase the growth of probiotics. When consumed or applied to the body probiotics can have amazing health benefits. For this reason, fermenting is a natural and healthy way of increasing your overall well-being.

Fruit, vegetables, and milk are all fermentable, but even meat and fish can be fermented. By fermenting the food you change its flavor, looks, smell, and shelf life, even for the better. It increases the vitamins that are contained in the food and makes the food more digestible. This process of fermentation is not known by many, but it should be. Only look at all the benefits it has! The best foods for fermentation are sauerkraut, tempeh, kombucha, miso, and last but certainly not least, kefir. Kefir is one of the easiest, most diverse fermented foods of all. Using it every day, or even every meal can make a huge difference in your overall health and well-being.

Kefir is a miracle food created out of fermented milk. Many, many years ago, when it first was discovered, it was kept a secret by some villages. No one outside a certain circle could know about how to make it, since the effects were enormously powerful to the body and the overall health. Later on, because some spies infiltrated the villages, the secret of the kefir could spread over the world. Kefir is one of the remedies for many illnesses, like cancer or tuberculosis. Also, it is a very strong antioxidant to slow down the body from aging. It is said that the people living in the villages where kefir was discovered reached an age of hundred and twenty or hundred and thirty easily, which was the average lifespan. Kefir does many good things, but the most noticeable is that it changes the intestines, especially the colon. The colon plays a big role in our digestive systems, and kefir makes it work even better. Pollution from the body can be caught up in the colon. Kefir then works like a detergent that cleans the whole organ. It puts the digestive system back to balance. Kefir also has nutrients in itself like B vitamins, enzymes, and minerals, but the action of purifying the body is the most miraculous.

There are different ways of consuming kefir. There is kefir milk available in the supermarket, and kefir water can be bought as well. But creating it yourself would be even better! For people who do not want to be consuming a lot of dairy products on a daily basis, water kefir is a wonderful and tasty alternative. The difference between the water and the milk kefir is that the milk kefir is more concentrated. We can not drink so much milk kefir, but we can drink lots of water kefir.

Keep in mind that kefir is a living being and needs a certain environment to survive. It needs to be clean, not too warm, but not too cold, environment, such as a pantry or a kitchen cabinet, out of the direct sunlight. Whenever you are preparing your kefir, we suggest not preparing it in anger or in haste, but with conscious effort. The kefir is alive and can feel the state you are in, the same as you can notice when your partner or a friend has a bad day. This state can replicate into the production and defeat the purpose.

Besides all the health benefits from drinking it, you could put the kefir on your face to create a beauty mask as well. It is cheap, natural, and alive, containing lots of antiaging chemicals. It also could reduce acne symptoms. Just apply the kefir to your face, leave it on for about 10-15 minutes to dry, and rinse it with water.
