The Benefits of Making Probiotic and Fermented Foods at Home [Video]

Probiotic, friendly bacteria makes up 60 to 80 percent of our total immune system. Along with promoting healthy digestion and an intestinal flora balance, they are also part of the process that takes care of killer cells within our body.


Instead of spending your hard earned money on probiotic supplements, try tinkering around with what you have in your kitchen to come up with your own highly probiotic dense foods.

A more economically and beneficial way to consuming probiotic foods starts with creating your own. Homemade milk kefir offers nutritional benefits and is great for digestive health. You will need starter grains to begin the fermenting process. They can be purchased online and used over a period of many months if managed well enough. Although the process itself takes 24-48
hours, it is quite simple. There are a variety of step-by-step instructions that make the procedure fun and enjoyable.

This homemade choice can be made my chopping up organic cabbage and your choice of veggies. Mix the contents, add a little purified water and salt, if you wish, and refrigerate in mason jars. Three to five days later and you have a tasty side to any meal.

Who knew saving your money could taste so good and be healthy for you at the same time?
