Smooooth Kefir Cream Cheese ... Strongest natural remedy against any allergy

Editor's Note: Kefir grains that are not being used to make Kefir are stored in milk in the refrigerator not the freezer! Also, the final product is more like a yogurt cream cheese that cottage cheese. It's delicious, especially with some raw honey and lightly toasted pecans. You can also experiment by adding various seasonal fruits like blueberries or strawberries to the cream cheese-- with some raw honey. So yummy and goof for you too! Organic Raw milk is the best way to go.

The Amazing Healing Properties of Fermented Foods

 'Between the hard and fast dichotomies of cooked and raw, dead and alive, is this beautiful thing called fermented. A place where many of the digestive challenges associated with raw foods (e.g. enzyme inhibitors, antinutrients, lectins) are overcome in favor of not just preserving their benefits (e.g. enzyme activity, vitamin content, life energy), but amplifying them. 

Also overcome are the adverse consequences of cooking, e.g. enzyme destruction, vitamin activity degradation, oxidized fats, denatured proteins, etc., while still benefiting from the enhanced digestibility and assimilation that certain cooking applications offer. Fermented food is in many ways the complementary union of cooked and raw, as well as their transcendence – an image, not unlike the Tai Chi, comes to mind.'

Decoding Labels: Yoplait Greek Yogurt

 

 'Greek yogurt is to yogurt what sour cream is to cream. It’s thicker, creamier, richer, and more flavorful. Making Greek yogurt is relatively simple — you just strain the whey out of plain yogurt. Voila! The resulting thicker yogurt is now called “Greek yogurt.” 

Not too long ago, Greek yogurt was only popular in ethnic food circles. The vast majority of shoppers in the U.S. didn’t even know what it was. But as our grocery store selections of yogurt expanded, so did our cultural familiarity with Greek yogurt. Now, thanks to food industry behemoth General Mills, most of us can find Greek yogurt in our neighborhood grocery stores. 

Lured by the extra flavor and the promise of twice the protein of regular yogurt, you may have bought this week’s product: Yoplait Greek Yogurt Honey Vanilla. Yoplait Greek Yogurt is a far cry from a real Greek yogurt, however.'

Make Your Own Yogurt

'I’ve made my own yogurt nearly every week for more than 10 years, beginning with a starter given to me by a friend from yogurt-loving India, and using the last spoonfuls of one batch to make the next. It’s a satisfying ritual of continuity and caretaking. And the yogurt is less expensive and better than anything I can buy. It’s free of stabilizers, sweeteners and waterlogged fruit, and it’s fresh tasting and tart, not sour. I start every day with a bowl of it.'

Probiotics Benefit Metabolic Syndrome Patients

How Do You Know Your Gut is Out of Whack?

'Signs and symptoms that you may need to address your intestinal balance include:

• Gas and bloating
• Constipation or diarrhea
• Nausea
• Headaches
• Fatigue
• Sugar cravings, and cravings for refined carb foods
