Fit Friday

It has been a crazy, good, busy week. Unfortunately, me and baby are home today,because she got sick. But it's ok, God is seeing us through...we needed a lil' break anyway. I haven't been able to post anything for a few reasons: 1} we moved and well exercising and trying to eat healthy seemed impossible. I did what I could when I could. 2} and quite frankly I have not been motivated at all. I guess from all that moving tired me out, I was moving alot during the move so maybe that counts as excercise??

I need the accountability so I figured I needed to post something for Fit Friday, this will motivate me to get back to living healthy.

Today I am going to be talking about Keifer....have you ever had it? Well if not let me tell you.... it's so good it's like a yogurt smoothie that is super good for you.

Keifer drinks provide highly absorbable calcium, highly absorbable protein, excellent amounts of probiotic bacteria and are famous for helping to protect the body’s bones, teeth and gums and to invigorate the body’s overall health. Keifer drinks help keep the body’s temperature cool and well-adjusted in hot weather and strong in cold weather. Keifer drinks are excellent for children as well as adults. They can be a “meal in themselves” in the morning. Keifer drinks are especially recommended for the elderly because their nutrients are so easy to absorb and help prevent muscle wasting. You can also use the Keifer drink in place of regular milk to use over cereal (hot or cold). (Note: avoid most commercial milk – typically high in toxic pesticides and artificial hormones). 

This milk is different from regular milk because it’s fermented with probiotic kefir grains. Kefir milk is also loaded with tryptophan – an amino acid that also helps raise serotonin levels in the brain – which can help reduce anxious feelings. Drinking one cup a day is enough to keep you feeling calm. {After praying this would be great to take if you have something important you are doing and you are feeling anxious.}

The picture above is the brand I have tried and love, I tried the strawberry one, but I am sure the others taste just as good. If you are close to a Sprouts you can grab one of these for $1.50, on sale, retail for $4 and up. It's a managers special right now, and it's organic, so head on over to try it out. You will not regret it.

TMI: I suffer from IBS and hypoglycemia so this is a great drink for me to have in the mornings to cleanse and coat your gut, intestines and it provides protein for my hypoglycemia too. I didn't get bloated on this at all and it was filling.
