My passion for loving had to begin with myself first!! Mind, body, and spirit!

One of my many passions!
I love to make home made everything as much as possible because:
1: I know what goes in it
2: It's fun
3: It's empowering
4: I love to learning
5: New friendships

So let's start with why I love to make raw kefir, kefir is the one of the highest stain content of probiotic out there.. It has over 31 strains of different probiotics.

Now the thing about probiotics is it a live microorganism it breathes it moves and grows. If you by kefir in the stores it's typically pasteurized in which the process kills the live organisms. It goes the same for any vitamin that is not refrigerated.8

That being said some of you may not know the benefits if probiotics, in a nut shell it helps to balance the help bacteria in our digestion. In essence it helps us to be able to digest more efficiently, and for women it has show to be highly effective with balancing out there flora, aiding keeping them PH balanced. In other words Minimizing yeast infection and bacteria infections.

So moving on all raw product contain all the enzymes and healthy bacteria required to digest. When we pasteurize homogenize we not only take out the nutrients but we kill all the "good bacteria and enzymes" which are required to digest them.

The great thing about kefir even if you have dairy issues the fermentation process you will not have digestion issues, actually you will probably have the opposite effect.

Now the great thing about making you own kefir you can also make so many great thing from it as I have shown in my pics, such as kefir cheese which I will be going over tomorrow and whey pure protein!

Have fun play!!!

Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that is indigestible and passes through our digestive system largely intact. Although it does not provide energy, it has been found to be associated with many chronic health diseases that we are facing today. In this blog post, we will delve into the importance of adequate fiber intake and why it is considered a superfood. 1. What is Fiber, and Why is it Important? Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that is found in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. There are two types of fiber—soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and can bind with fatty substances, while insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water and adds bulk to the stool. Both types of fiber are essential in maintai...

The Benefits of Akkermansia for Gut Health and Beyond

The Benefits of Akkermansia for Gut Health and Beyond Akkermansia muciniphila, a name that might sound unfamiliar to many, is a bacterium residing in the human gut that has started to gain recognition in the field of health and nutrition. This bacterium, part of the Verrucomicrobia phylum, plays a pivotal role in maintaining the mucosal lining of the gut, impacting metabolic health, diabetes management, and weight regulation. For nutrition enthusiasts and health professionals, understanding the benefits of Akkermansia can open new doors to optimized gut health and overall wellness. Akkermansia muciniphila is a gram-negative, obligate anaerobic bacterium that specializes in degrading mucin, a component of the mucus lining of the gut. This unique ability positions Akkermansia as a crucial player in maintaining the integrity of the mucosal barrier. According to Cani (2017), the gut microbiota lies at the intersection of various physiological processes, and Akkermansia’s role is no exc...

The Link Between Constipation and Semaglutide Use in Patients with Overweight or Obesity

  The Link Between Constipation and Semaglutide Use in Patients with Overweight or Obesity Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has been heralded as a game-changer in the management of obesity. While its efficacy in promoting weight loss is well-documented, there is an emerging conversation within the medical community about its gastrointestinal side effects, particularly constipation. This article aims to provide health professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the evidence linking semaglutide to constipation and its implications on gut health. Understanding Semaglutide Semaglutide is a once-weekly injectable medication that mimics the functions of the natural hormone GLP-1. It works by enhancing insulin secretion, inhibiting glucagon release, and slowing gastric emptying. These mechanisms collectively contribute to appetite suppression and significant weight loss. However, the slowing of gastric emptying can also lead to gastrointestinal disc...
