Kefir Kommunity

The fast-approaching holidays have us in an especially giving sort of mood here at Lifeway Foods, which is good news for the readers of this blog!

We’re giving away five copies of New York Times best seller The Perricone Weight Loss Diet: A Simple 3-Part Plan To Lose The Fat, The Wrinkles, and The Yearsby Nicholas Perricone, MD. If you win, you can enjoy the book yourself or even pass along to a friend as a holiday present (we promise not to tell them it’s regifted.) Why Dr. Perricone’s book? The celeb doctor happens to LOVE kefir, naming it one of his Top 10 Superfoodsfor its immune-boosting, flu-fighting probiotics. Dr. Perricone, widely regarded as the Father of the Inflammation Theory of Aging, also touts kefir for its skin-healing properties, sayingprobiotics “provide protection from allergens, which can be a cause of skin problems such as eczema, while also protecting the body from negative forms of bacteria, environmental toxins such as pollutants, and inflammation-inducing free radicals. Probiotics keeps down the production of pro-inflammatory chemicals by the intestinal cells. Since this is a huge surface area, inflammation produced in the gut would flood the body with pro-inflammatory chemicals; therefore a healthy gut is anti-inflammatory and translate immediately into healthy and glowing skin, elimination of digestive problems and overall better health.”
