Water Kefir

I am so excited about this inexpensive probiotic drink you can make at home.  Water kefir produces a light carbonated beverage and by adding ginger creates a refreshing mild gingerbeer.
Any fruits can be added to flavour your kefir to suit your own taste.

Water kefir contains a combination of healthy bacteria and healthy yeast that survive on water and sugar.  They predigest and break down the sugar so the end product is not sweet at all.  
Instead of buying vitamins and probiotics now you can make your own water kefir at home and reap the benefits.

Originating in Mexico, water kefir grains allow for the fermentation of sugar water or juice to create a carbonated lacto-fermented beverage. Incredibly easy to brew, water kefir grains allow you to create a new batch of water kefir every 24-72 hours. Water kefir can be flavored after brewing to make a variety of delicious sodas. If you are looking to replace soda or juice, your family will love water kefir!

Water kefir consists of lactic acid bacteria and yeast existing in a symbiotic relationship that are strained before consuming. The benefits of water kefir are similar to those of milk kefir (aka dairy kefir) but the average person will be able to consume larger amounts of water kefir due to it's water base.
Scientists have proven that 80% of our immune system is in our digestive system.  This is the most vital part of the body to keep healthy but is often overlooked.  We clean our teeth, wash our hair, nurture our skin, yet little consideration is given for our internal cleansing and nuturing. 

Water kefir stimulates the immune system by building up beneficial bacteria like acidophilus does in yoghurt. Kefir has many reputed health benefits. It has antibiotic and antifungal properties. In addition to beneficial bacteria and yeast, kefir contains many vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes. Particularly calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, B2 and B12, vitamin K, vitamin A and vitamin D. Tryptophan, one of the essential amino acids abundant in kefir, is well known for its relaxing effect on the nervous system. Because kefir also has an abundance of calcium and magnesium, also important minerals for a healthy nervous system, kefir in the diet can have a particularly calming effect on the nerves.

The brilliant part is that the water kefir (also known as Japanese water crystals) double in volume every few days, so once you have purchased your starter kefir, you'll never need to replace it!
