Not to boast, but Lifeway kefir can help you achieve each of those lofty goals. Here’s how:

Drnk Less Alcohol: Drink more kefir! We’ve even been to parties where the hostess served low fat pomegranate kefir in chilled martini glasses!

Get a Better Education: Simply read the side of our bottle for an insta-education on probiotics, live and active cultures, and more. Our visit our online Health & Wellness section to learn how kefir can help you battle everything from tummy troubles to the flu to bad breath.

Save Money AND Manage Debt: Check out our breakdown of how a single bottle of kefir could save you $1493!  http://lifeway.net/Community/Blog/tabid/266/entryid/7/Well-Worth-The-Price.aspx

Get Fit AND Lose Weight: Some studies have shown that consuming three servings of low-fat dairy products promotes  belly fat loss. The thought is that when there is dietary calcium in the cells, fat is more likely to be burned instead of stored. 

Manage Stress: Research shows probiotics can help prevent intestinal problems linked to chronic stress. Long-term stress can also lower your overall immune system, leaving you vulnerable to infections. That makes our 12 strains of live and active culture even more crucial for your well-being.

Quit Smoking: Satisfy an oral fixation with Starfruit frozen kefir or a kefir parfait. The hand-to-mouth action may help curb cravings in the same way munching on food does.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Lifeway Foods buys local, which means less packaging and fewer miles being traveled.  And most of our packaging and production materials are either biodegradable or recyclable.  We also buy renewable energy credits to offset the electricity used in our production facilities; our credits are equivalent to planting 335 acres of trees.  And at our headquarters, even our office furniture is recyclable!

Take a Trip: Travel to India without leaving your kitchen with our tangy mango Lassi, hang out in Russia with our traditional plain kefir, a Russian household staple, or take a trip back to your childhood with our kid-friendly ProBugs. 

Get a Better Job: Love kefir so much, you want to work for us? If you live in the Chicago area, you can apply for a job at Starfruit, our cosmic café. http://starfruitcafe.com/
