The morning begins with a choice: to pour kefir or fermented baked milk into a glass.
However, if the goal is to lose a couple of kilograms and feel better, then kefir is more often the choice.
The drink has become a favorite of those who watch their figure and health, leaving ryazhenka in the background.
Why kefir wins and how it helps health, we will figure it out right now.
Kefir is prepared with a starter of live bacteria and yeast, which turns it into a storehouse of probiotics.
They improve bowel function, speed up metabolism and help the body burn fat.
Ryazhenka also contains beneficial microorganisms, but because the milk is heated during the cooking process, there are fewer of them, and the effect is weaker.
Kefir literally revives digestion, which makes it a leader in weight loss.
One glass of kefir contains about 100 calories and a minimum of fat, while ryazhenka with its thick texture is closer to 150.
Kefir satisfies hunger thanks to protein without overloading the body, and is ideal for those who count calories.
Ryazhenka is tasty and no less healthy, but its density and sweetish taste make it more often a snack than a dietary staple.
