Today I am sharing one of the trending superfoods. “Kefir” 👉🏻 First time I tried plain kefir. Kefir is also available in flavored varieties, but it is loaded with sugar. 💁🏻‍♀️ The name Kefir comes from the Turkish word keyif, which refers to the “good feeling” 💁🏻‍♀️ What is kefir??? Kefir is an ancient fermented beverage made from cow’s or goat’s or sheep’s milk & kefir grains, sort of like a drink of yogurt. Kefir can be used in many of the ways milk and yogurts are used. It can be drunk as a beverage, used as the salad dressing, blending liquid in a smoothie, oats etc. 💁🏻‍♀️ Benefits 🔹 Improve digestion system 🔹 Promote healthy skin 🔹 Improve bone health because it is rich in calcium 🔹 You can drink kefir even if you have lactose intolerance 🔹 Kefir also contains a chemical called tryptophan which helps you to be more relaxed 👉🏻 Everyone reacts differently to kefir, so play around with your serving and see what works for you. 👉🏻 You can make it at home like yogurt. It is very easy. Do you want to buy kefir grains? You can’t find it in the supermarket easily. Buy online. 💁🏻‍♀️ Try this super healthy drink and share your experience with me. #kefir #kefirmilk #kefirprobiotic #probiotic #guthealth #healthygut #guthealthmatters #healthyfood #healthyeating #digestionhealth #diegstionsupport #digestionhelp #weightlosstip #eathealthy #healthydiet #indianblogger #firnessblogger #bloggersinqatar #weightlosstips #calciumrich #foodchoice #healthylifestyle #lifestyleblogger #qatar #lifeway #lifewaykefir #kefirbenefits #benefitsofkefir ckeerskeyz #lowfatkefir #probioticcultures (at Qatar) https://www.instagram.com/p/COFvMzIFr0G/?igshid=19umkvkde2fnl

Meet the Fearless CEO Who Took Over a Multi-Million Dollar Kefir Company in Her 20s — Food Crushes

Julie Smolyansky knows what it takes to start a food business from scratch. It's basically in her DNA. She's the CEO of Lifeway Foods, a multi-million-dollar company that her parents started in the 1980s to introduce kefir — a probiotic, cultured dairy beverage — to the States. But the road to get here has been anything but smooth.

Julie and her family fled the former Soviet Union in the 1970s as refugees and settled in Chicago. To support their family, Julie's mom, Ludmilla, hustled to open a Russian deli in their neighborhood, catering to the palates of the new flood of immigrants. While Julie's mom taught herself English by watching soap operas and simultaneously tackled the responsibilities of entrepreneurship, importing and distributing eastern European food to other delis all across the country, Julie picked up more than a few lessons of her own.

The Smolyanskys later expanded their food business scope by starting Lifeway to put drinkable cultured yogurt, a staple in their home country, on Americans' radar. After the sudden death of her father in 2002, Julie took the helm at age 27, becoming the youngest female CEO of a publicly held firm. Even though the company has been around for nearly 32 years, Julie is still doing the work to educate Americans about kefir's benefits (and so much more).

What Is Kefir?

Kefir (which has been around for over 2,000 years) is a tangy, fermented milk beverage that is most often likened to drinkable yogurt. It is made by combining milk with kefir "grains" (which are live yeast cultures) and lactic acid bacteria. The resulting beverage is high in protein, calcium, vitamin D, and active probiotic cultures meant to promote good gut health.

We got a chance to chat with Julie about her family's journey, how tough it is to break into the food business space, and how Oprah helped to raise her.

The Biggest Mistake of My Life and How It Will Help You

FEBRUARY 10, 2017

Reading comprehension. The biggest mistake of my life was a reading comprehension error regarding something most of us don’t think twice about.

Antibiotics.

Our oldest is a bright 15 year old with a dust mite allergy that leads to an occasional sinus infection. Cue the sinus infection just before Thanksgiving. Cue a 10 day course of antibiotics.

“Take 2 in the morning and 2 at night and you will feel better in no time,” I instructed as I handed over the prescription and rushed the kids out the door for several holiday overnighters with family.

A 10 day antibiotic course was accidently taken in 5 days due in part to the hustle and bustle of everything. I read the instructions too fast and gave her the wrong instructions. She listened all too well.

2 ER visits, 3 InstaCare visits, 2 regular doc visits, 2 GI specialist visits, 10%+ of her body weight lost and her bathroom on quarantine and disinfected only with a 10:1 bleach solution to kill the spores and prevent this highly contagious disease from spreading.

Imagine a nuclear bomb going off in your intestines. That is exactly what happened to her gut with an overdose of antibiotics.

Our first InstaCare visit led to my new favorite doctor gently telling me our daughter was very sick and needed to go to the ER. Which ER would we like so they could call ahead and let them know we were coming and would we like an ambulance?

WHOA. WHAT JUST HAPPENED? We went from stomach ache, cramps and scoots to would we like an ambulance in the course of the 45 minute visit.

Deep breath. Put on brave face. Head to the ER. She was REALLY sick.

Long story short, the overdose led to a party in her gut by a bacteria known as c. diff (clostridium difficile). C diff is commonly in our gut but it is kept in check by the good critters working in the depths below.

The first two rounds of drugs used to treat the c diff failed, meaning severe scoots and cramps returned. She is currently pounding down a 6 week tapered course of an antibiotic that kills the c diff. Once the taper ends we will pulse it another 3 weeks.

Praying like it’s all in God’s hands yet doing everything in our power to heal her along the way.

Needless to say, hours have been spent digging into learning more about c diff, our gut microbiome and how amazing our guts truly are.

As you can imagine, a few things have changed at our house when it comes to feeding, fueling and repairing our daughter.

Here is a quick rundown of things you could consider if you or yours

needs to rebuild immunity for whatever reason.

Caution: Exceptional long term heath may occur!

Carbohydrate only when occurring naturally in milk, fruits (take it easy on fruits for now too, fruit sugar is difficult to digest) veggies or whole grains

Minimal amounts of processed or packaged food –not much that comes in a wrapper is very good for your body

Avocado

Coconut Oil & Olive Oil

Sugar – limited to naturally occurring

Whole milk – she needs the calories, higher protein content and lower sugar level – if her stomach hurt after consuming dairy I would eliminate it all together but she is tolerating it well and only has one glass a day.

Kefir – homemade and purchased from the store (we LOVE the Lifeway brand raspberry and peach). As a fermented food it’s 99% lactose free = no problems digesting it plus it’s packed with probiotics!

Prebiotics – need the fiber from produce for fuel which fuels probiotics - in the form of raw or cooked and all throughout the day to continuously feed the critter below

Probiotics – yes, even though she is on an antibiotic (spaced at the mid-point of antibiotic dosingie- 8a and 8p dose = probiotics at 2p) Currently we are using Dr Axe SBO Probiotic – soil based with 50 Billion CFU’s - one capsule with lunch and the other when she comes home from school.

Lentils – we call them tiny spaceships…protein and fiber packed amazingness eaten with lunch and dinner by simply adding to whatever the meal (tacos, soup and even pasta). Prebiotics LOVE the fiber in lentils. Happy prebiotics = happy probiotics!

Greens – spinach and kale (packed in smoothies)

Bone Broth Protein Powder (we are using Dr Axe Vanilla and Pure)

Classic Scary Smoothie (70/30 fruit and veggies + homemade kefir) daily

Water – plenty of crystal clear amazing water!!!

Meditation – we use an app called Calm – outstanding! Used to managed pain, cramps and fear.

Less stress – we had to withdraw her from an AP class to decrease homework and stress load from missing so much school (20+ days)

Gentle exercise – everyone is happier when they move

Breakfast Gut Re-Builder Smoothie

1 cup spinach – fiber feeds the prebiotics which feed the probiotics and are one of the most powerful sources of phytonutrients a person can consume

1/3 banana – sweetness and masks the flavor of spinach

¼ cup raspberries, blackberries or blueberries – fantastic sources of antioxidants, phytonutrients, fiber which are all key in healing the body

½ cup raspberry kefir – probiotic source

¼ - ½ avocado – healthy fat

½ - 1 scoop vanilla bone broth protein powder

Water – enough to get the contents of the blender to churn

Antibiotics are scary dangerous drugs that are overused and underfeared. Learn from my mistake and be cautious as you read the directions. Most conditions will resolve without the use of these drugs. Consider that as a primary approach to better health. Your gut microbiome will thank you!

We are approaching 3 months of dealing with this beast and are not out of the woods yet. The light at the end of the tunnel is in sight but this rollercoaster will still have dips and curves. We are thankful the dips and curves are getting easier to handle.

Keep your gut healthy, you have life to live!
