Kefir is a kind of fermented milk that is considered to be a probiotic. Probiotics are important because they determine the good or friendly type of bacteria that people have in their gut that help you remain healthy, keep your immune system up and fight bad bacteria. Kefir usually comes from either cow’s milk or goat’s milk, which is fermented naturally to produce these incredibly beneficial microorganisms. When the gut is healthier, digestion is healthier too, making bowel movements smoother and more frequent as well.
