Is it true that sour milk revives even the weakest immunity?

“Dairy foods form the right flora in the gut. The beneficial bacteria in dairy products break down toxins and support human immunity, says Dr. E. O. Komarovsky. Today we will try to understand how kefir and other dairy products strengthen human immunity.



Dairy foods Kefir, yogurt, cottage cheese contain not only bifidobacteria, which improve the intestinal microflora. They also have vitamins A, B, D, E, necessary for human health. Amino acids in dairy products reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood. Also, dairy products contribute to the absorption of nutrients and vitamins by the body. And one glass of kefir a day can even relieve a person from depression.



Depression negatively affects immunity. Depressed condition is not the best way to affect human health. As they say, all diseases come from nerves. And people are right. In the gastrointestinal tract contains the hormone of happiness - serotonin. In kefir there is trypophane, which helps serotonin to be produced in the stomach. So a healthy intestinal microflora is the key not only to good health, but also to elevated mood, and therefore immunity.



Lactic acid in dairy products contributes to the increase of beneficial bacteria. They protect the stomach walls from infections. Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and essential amino acids improve immunity and quality of life.

Chinese scientists have found that kefir blocks the development of tumors in rodents in 65% of cases. This means that dairy products can prevent the appearance of cancer cells. Also, probiotics complement the treatment of cancer.

Kefir with lactulose with constant use suppresses pathogenic flora in the intestine and increases the body's resistance to infections. Unlike milk, which is absorbed by a person worse, dairy products have fewer contraindications. They have a healing effect when used regularly.



A full source of protein and calcium: kefir, cottage cheese, sour cream, yogurt, yogurt, yogurt, ayran, fermented meat are necessary for the full functioning of the cardiovascular system. Dairy products can be used by people with lactose intolerance. The motor function of the intestine is normalized, the formation of gases in it decreases.



Dr. Komarovsky believes that we live in a sterile world. We constantly limit our interactions with bacteria. Parents protect their child from the first day of his birth. They disinfect everything the child comes into contact with. As a result, when a person grows up, he becomes allergic or has weak immunity, since his body is not used to fighting bacteria in the outside world.



A reliable way to strengthen the immune system, according to Dr. Komarovsky, is not only the use of dairy products. Diverse nutrition, lack of sterility, and sufficient physical activity from childhood are also important. Naturally, yogurt, cottage cheese, kefir should be natural and without adding sugar. Otherwise it won't do any good. Be healthy and watch what you eat.
