Cleansing the body with kefir - health in every sip

Cleansing the body with kefir is one of the most accessible and safest ways to remove accumulated waste, toxins and other harmful elements from the intestines. The fermented milk product contains a large number of beneficial bacteria and other substances that help normalize the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as proteins, microelements and vitamins.

For kefir detox, it is preferable to choose a low-fat product, drinking the drink at room temperature. Kefir actively affects the intestines and promotes contraction of its muscles. Its beneficial effect extends to every centimeter of the colon, in which food processing products, mucus, and waste products accumulate over the years, poisoning the body with toxins.

Kefir helps overcome intestinal congestion and improves gastrointestinal motility, preventing the development of fermentation processes. Bacteria have a bactericidal effect and prevent the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases.

Colon cleansing with kefir is a simple, affordable and effective procedure

Alternative medicine specialists say that colon cleansing at least 1-2 times a year is necessary for all people, regardless of health status. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to waste time looking for a suitable cleaning technique. You can resort to the well-known and tasty fermented milk product - kefir. Colon cleansing with kefir is a simple, affordable and quite effective procedure.

Which kefir to choose

Choose natural kefirs of your preferred fat content, rather than fermented milk products. The maximum shelf life of a natural product is 5 days. The fresh drink is thin, but a few days before the expiration date it thickens. Keep this property in mind and choose the consistency and fat content that suits you.

The effectiveness of kefir is ensured if the product:

1. fresh - preparation time no more than 1 day;
2. low-fat - 1%;
3. without additives or emulsifiers.

The preparation and name of this drink may differ among different nations. In terms of its nutritional and nutritional qualities, kefir from different suppliers is equally useful. Homemade, homemade, with the least amount of lactic acid is best.

This drink has the maximum laxative effect.

And on store shelves you can find:

• “Matsoni” is kefir from Georgia.
• “Tan” is a Transcaucasian drink based on “Matsoni”.
• “Matsun” is an Armenian fermented milk drink product.
• “Maisu” is what kefir is called in Turkey;
• “Ayran” - the drink is supplied from Uzbekistan.

Mechanism of action of kefir

Cleansing the intestines mainly involves affecting its lower section. It is in this part that along the entire length of the colon (about 1.5-2 m) there are tubular depressions of the epithelium, crescent-shaped folds and other irregularities, the depth of which varies between 0.5-1 cm. In all these grooves, depressions and bends During a person's life, a considerable amount of mucus, dried feces, and calculi accumulates. Toxic poisons released during the decay of these deposits are absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestinal walls and slowly poison the body over many years.

Kefir, due to its ability to improve motility, promotes active contraction of every centimeter of smooth muscle of the intestine, including its most “secluded” corners. As a result, the severity of stagnation is reduced, the development of putrefactive and fermentation processes is suppressed. Lactic acid bacteria contained in kefir have bactericidal activity against many pathogens of gastrointestinal diseases. They successfully populate the intestines, restoring its smooth functioning.

Against the background of using this fermented milk product:

• metabolism is normalized;
• the balance of intestinal microflora is restored;
• processes of toxic poisoning of the body are suppressed;
• relieves nervous tension;
• the state of local and general immunity improves;
• defecation processes are improved;
• normal functioning of the stomach and intestines is resumed;
• body weight decreases;
• appearance improves.

Regular consumption of kefir is necessary for people suffering from constipation, diarrhea, dysbiosis, acute and chronic gastritis, hypertension, ischemia, vitamin deficiency, diabetes, atherosclerosis, liver cirrhosis and even tumor diseases.

Causes

Due to poor nutrition, the use of excess amounts of carbohydrates, starchy, fried and fatty foods in the menu, various consequences can occur, such as:

• heaviness in the stomach;
• belching;
• constipation.

And in some cases, constipation can be caused by:

• mental disorders;
• stress;
• diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver;
• laxative abuse;
• drinking alcohol.

To normalize the state of the body and the proper functioning of all its systems, it is necessary to immediately begin to correct the unfavorable situation. After all, prolonged constipation can lead to intoxication - this is a dangerous process of poisoning the body. Constipation can cause hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and bleeding. To soften stool and relax the smooth muscles of the lower intestines, the best solution is kefir for constipation.

Methods for cleansing the intestines with kefir

Kefir is an essential component of most cleansing and healing techniques. It is most often used in two-component techniques as the main component.

Juice-kefir colon cleansing

The technique involves a three-day cleansing:

1. The first day is kefir. Throughout the day we drink low-fat kefir (up to 3 liters). If you feel hungry, you can eat rye bread crackers (in small quantities).
2. The second day is juice day. We exclude kefir from the diet; We replace it with juices: apple, beet, carrot or a mixture of them. The total volume of juice drunk should not exceed 1.5 liters. In addition, we drink large quantities of still mineral or table water.
3. The third day is vegetable. We switch to three low-calorie fruit and vegetable meals a day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner may include fresh, steamed, boiled, baked plant foods. Any other food is strictly prohibited. To replenish the daily fluid requirement, we use purified water.
4. On the fourth day, we gradually return to our usual diet. We introduce fish and meat dishes into the diet, and in limited quantities flour and sweet products (mainly honey, raisins, dried fruits).

You should abstain from fatty, fried, smoked foods as long as possible.

Cleaning with kefir and flaxseed flour

A three-week cleansing technique associated with taking kefir and flaxseed flour will clear the intestines of mucus, stones, and parasites that have accumulated over the years. By removing toxic deposits, flax has no effect on the beneficial intestinal microflora. People who want to lose weight will receive a pleasant bonus: using flaxseed flour results in a reduction in body weight of up to 1-4 kg.

You can buy flax seed flour at the pharmacy or make it yourself. As practice shows, it is easier to choose the second option, because pharmaceutical flaxseed flour is a scarce product. To prepare it, just take flax seeds, purchased without any problems at the same pharmacy or specialty store, and grind them thoroughly in a coffee grinder. Crushed seeds can be stored for no more than three days; with longer storage they lose some of their beneficial properties.

We carry out the cleansing for three weeks:

1. First week. Take 1 dessert spoon of flax seed flour, mix with 250 ml of kefir. We consume it in full once a day (preferably in the morning on an empty stomach) for seven days. All this time, do not forget to drink plenty of fluids. By the way, the volume of a dessert spoon is equal to the volume of two teaspoons.
2. Second week. We increase the dose of flaxseed flour to 2 dessert spoons, the volume of kefir remains the same (250 ml). We drink a lot of purified water.
3. Third week. Increase the amount of flour to 3 dessert spoons, increase the volume of kefir to 300 ml. We continue to drink a lot of water.

During the entire cleansing period, we eat mainly plant foods. Fried, smoked, canned, sweet, flour - limit to a minimum.

Colon cleansing with kefir and buckwheat

Buckwheat and kefir are a wonderful cleansing combination. Buckwheat frees the intestines from harmful deposits, saturates the body with vitamins, microelements, and amino acids. Meanwhile, kefir improves intestinal contractility, optimizes the balance of intestinal microflora, removes excess fluid, and ensures bowel regularity.

Kefir-buckwheat cleansing is very simple. To prepare the cleanser, all you need is:

1. The evening before cleaning, take 1 tablespoon of buckwheat and grind in a coffee grinder to flour.
2. Add flour to 1 glass of kefir, stir, place in the refrigerator.

In the morning, half an hour before meals, drink the resulting healing drink. Cleansing course – 2 weeks. If desired and necessary, courses are repeated several times a year.

Beetroot-kefir cleaning method

Colon cleansing with beets and kefir is optimal for obese people who have neglected the principles of a healthy lifestyle for many years. The cheapness and simplicity of this method is captivating, but it is worth considering that this technique, although it shows excellent results, is quite tough, therefore, as reviews indicate, not everyone can strictly withstand all its conditions.

Cleansing with beets and kefir involves completely abstaining from food with the exception of kefir, beets and water. The one-day menu should include:

• 1 kg of boiled beets;
• 1.5 liters of low-fat kefir;
• 1.5-2 liters of still mineral or table water.

How to drink correctly?

The immune system can malfunction at any time and cause the development of allergic reactions in response to various substances entering the body that can cause sensitization.

Probiotics contained in kefir can inhibit the production of inflammatory cytokines, which are responsible for the main manifestations of allergic reactions.

Scientists from one of the Korean research institutes have found that kefir blocks the production of eosinophils in lung tissue and prevents hypersecretion of mucus. Thus, the drink prevents the manifestation of bronchial asthma and provides reliable prevention of attacks of this pathology in the future.

Research shows that kefir is effective against various allergic pathologies.

Kefir, with constant use (if you drink at least 1 glass every day), can prolong life. Similar data were obtained from many studies.

As already mentioned, kefir contains up to 61 types of probiotics (average 30-40). Experiments by Japanese scientists on mice have established that live bacterial cultures suppress chronic inflammation in the large intestine, which reduces the impact of pathogenic bacteria and their toxins, increasing the life expectancy of rodents.

According to scientists, preventing chronic inflammation is a key method of preventing the body from aging. It is inflammatory diseases that are associated with shortening of telomeres during cell division (the direct cause of aging), damage to genetic material, and the development of Alzheimer's disease and type II diabetes mellitus. This applies equally to both women and men.

Unfortunately, no human studies have been conducted for similar purposes. However, kefir has been proven to reduce the risk of diabetes, atherosclerosis of large vessels (and associated fatal cardiovascular complications), and prevent malignant cell proliferation. The diseases described above occupy first places in the structure of mortality in developed countries. Consequently, kefir can increase overall life expectancy.

Consuming kefir is one of the ways to increase life expectancy. Just 1 glass per day can reduce the risk of deadly pathologies.

Unfortunately, store-bought kefir contains no beneficial bacteria, enzymes, or very small amounts. The product is useless to combat pathogenic intestinal microflora. Therefore, the best remedy for eliminating dysbiosis is kefir made from homemade milk.

The bacteria contained in the product are able to suppress the processes of decay in the intestinal tract, stimulate the functioning of the digestive organs, and increase the secretion of gastric juice.

The antibacterial effect of fermented milk drink makes it one of the best means used in the treatment of infectious dysbiosis.

The optimal dose of the drink per day is 1-2 glasses. You shouldn't abuse it. If the drink is used as a medicine, remember that the effect is brought about by a certain number of living microorganisms, and not by the amount of the product drunk. Healthy microflora will not appear in a day from drinking liters of it. If you want to try the kefir diet, then you are allowed to consume no more than one and a half liters of it per day.

Dairy products contain a natural sugar called lactose. Lactose causes glycation of proteins, which means it accelerates aging. Also, many people, especially adults, are unable to break down and digest lactose correctly. This condition is called lactose intolerance. In kefir, part of the lactose is converted into lactic acid.

• www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1547204

People with sensitive immune systems are more susceptible to allergies and asthma. Animal studies have shown that kefir is also beneficial in that it suppresses inflammatory reactions associated with allergies and asthma. But further research in humans is needed to confirm this fact.

Reference to articles:

• www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17869642

As was shown in the article about milk, milk raises the level of IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor). Therefore, excessive milk consumption (more than 2 glasses per day) can provoke many types of cancer. But kefir increases IGF-1 much less than milk due to the fermentation process. And therefore, 1 glass of kefir per day (if you do not drink milk) is safe in relation to the risk of cancer.

Reference to articles:

• www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16428610

As shown above, kefir contains about 30-40 strains of probiotics. And probiotics in studies generally extended the life of mice. This was possibly due to the suppression of chronic inflammation in the colon.

Colon cleansing with charcoal, kefir and honey

Cleansing the body of toxins begins with cleansing the intestines - today this is already an axiom. There are a lot of methods for this cleaning and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. In general, cleansing the intestines is a fairly large load for our immune system, which is “responsible” for our health and ensures the normal functioning of our body, and below we will definitely consider the question of how to avoid the failure of the immune system during the cleansing process, and now we will get acquainted with some of it methods.

Increases lactose tolerance

Lactose intolerance is a serious (in some cases) condition characterized by a decrease in the production of the digestive enzyme lactase in the human body, which ensures the breakdown and subsequent absorption of lactose.

On average, every 4th inhabitant of the planet suffers from this syndrome. In Russia, according to various sources, up to 35% of the population.

If a person intolerant consumes lactose (found in most dairy products), he may develop the following abnormalities: flatulence, diarrhea, dehydration, nausea, vomiting, etc.

Kefir contains a number of enzymes that break down lactose and ensure its absorption. American scientists came to these results. They also recommend using the drink as the drug of choice for treating such a disorder.

Kefir itself contains less lactose than other fermented milk products (milk or yogurt), which is important when consumed against a background of lactase deficiency.

Kefir has a beneficial effect on the course of an extremely common disease - lactose intolerance.

Colon cleansing with charcoal

Activated carbon has been known to mankind for a very long time: since the times of Ancient India, people have used activated carbon to cleanse the intestines ; mentions of it can also be found in the works of Hippocrates. Here in Rus' we used birch activated carbon.

Cleansing the intestines with charcoal using the enterosorption method is very simple: you need to consume charcoal tablets 2 times a day for 7-12 days at the rate of 1 tablet per 10 kg. body weight. It is better not to take other medications during this period. There is another way to cleanse the intestines with charcoal - hemosorption. This method consists of passing human blood through a special device with activated carbon.

Activated carbon has excellent properties to bind and remove waste and toxic substances from the body. Among other things, cleansing the intestines with activated carbon even removes radionuclides. Our doctors successfully used this property of coal to treat patients after the Chernobyl accident.

Colon cleansing is recommended for the treatment of diseases such as: – viral and chronic hepatitis; - cirrhosis of the liver; – asthma; – kidney diseases; – atopic dermatitis.

But cleansing the intestines with activated charcoal also has side effects: constipation, stomach upset, and even erosion of the gastrointestinal tract. This method cannot be used for a long time and on an ongoing basis; you need to know that intensive cleansing of the intestines with charcoal can lead to hypovitaminosis, charcoal “washes out” vitamins and other useful substances from the body.

Important!

Cleansing the body with kefir requires a recovery period. That is, after completing the course, you should not immediately pounce on fatty and salty foods. Firstly, this can negatively affect your well-being (in some cases, even vomiting is observed), and secondly, this will lead to the rapid accumulation of waste and toxins and all your efforts will be in vain.

Physical stress on the body should also be avoided; athletics and yoga are welcome, especially if you are cleansing the body in order to get rid of extra pounds.

We also recommend that you watch the following videos, we hope you will get a lot of valuable information from them:

The results of experiments on rodents demonstrate that adding vitamin K2 to the diet reduces the risk of fractures by 81% and prevents the development of osteoporosis, which is especially important for older people.

Kefir, according to scientific concepts, increases the absorption of calcium by bone tissue. As a result, almost all calcium received from food goes to its main destination - the bones. This makes kefir incredibly useful for the growing body of children.

Contraindications

Kefir is an extremely healthy product that has many advantages, but it is not without contraindications. In some cases, kefir can be harmful to humans. Side effects include:

1. Allergic reactions. Individuals may experience hypersensitivity to any component of the composition; as a result, all sorts of allergopathologies are observed: from banal urticaria to anaphylactic shock.
2. Irritation of the gastric mucosa. Kefir contains a small amount of ethanol (formed as a result of fermentation). This component causes irritation of the gastric mucosa (no effect is observed in the lower parts of the digestive tract), which aggravates the course of inflammatory processes. Thus, kefir is prohibited for acute gastritis and gastric ulcers. There is no negative effect on a healthy stomach.

Thus, kefir may have a number of adverse effects for some types of patients. It is recommended not to abuse the drink.

It is better to avoid consumption by people with increased acidity. In this case, the drink may cause heartburn. For children under one year of age, kefir is not a necessary product, since the composition differs from mother’s milk or formulas adapted for infants. Individual lactose intolerance is a reason to stop drinking kefir.

The situation when kefir negatively affects the body is rare, but possible. Most often this manifests itself in the form of constipation.

Why constipation occurs from kefir:

• the body's individual reaction to lactose (a component contained in any fermented milk products);
• insufficient quality of the drink;
• how old it was made (3 days or more).

Contraindications for use:

• heartburn;
• gastritis;
• ulcer;
• increased acidity.

If constant constipation accompanies a person even if he regularly uses fermented milk, experts advise eliminating not only kefir, but also products containing lactose and casein:

• cottage cheese;
• cheese;
• fermented baked milk;
• milk.

Kefir cleansing recipes

Traditional medicine offers many options that cleanse the body. Some are divided into many stages, include the use of fermented milk drink exclusively or in combination with other products. Among them, a convenient method is selected.

Using only kefir

It is possible to cleanse the intestines with a single fermented milk product without mixing. There are two methods: one-day and long courses. Both methods are effective. The choice depends on desire and contraindications.

• For one day. You need two liters of product. Drink a glass every hour. You can't eat food. It is acceptable to drink purified water. A one-day cleanse is carried out every month.

• Course for 1-2 weeks. Every morning before breakfast, drink a glass of one percent drink. The diet should contain plant foods enriched with fiber. Be sure to consume plenty of fluids.

You need to drink in small sips without haste. Alcohol and baked goods are excluded from the diet. Warming baths have a good effect. They will improve blood circulation.

Combination with bran

Bran is a grain shell that is mixed with flour. They are hard to the touch. Valuable for their high content of fiber and cellulose. Cleaning of accumulated toxins occurs safely and quickly.

The fiber substance, combining with the fermented milk product, swells and increases its volume. Liquids are absorbed, and the person feels full for a long time. An excess of biomass is formed in the organ, compressing its walls. This leads to emptying.

The recipe includes a tablespoon of bran and a glass of kefir, which are mixed thoroughly. Take the mixture 3 times a day. After 2 hours you can’t eat. Drink a glass of water 15 minutes before drinking the mixture.

The cleansing continues for ten days. Yogurt and steamed fish are allowed. You can't eat bananas. Diet bread will be a substitute for flour products.

Kefir and sunflower oil

It is recommended to drink sunflower oil on an empty stomach. This is a mild laxative. The combination of kefir and oil effectively cleanses the body. To prepare the mixture you need the following ingredients:

• Vegetable oil - one tablespoon.
• One percent kefir - one glass.
