Regulates the immune system
Kefir helps improve defenses naturally by regulating inflammation , allergic response , and immune function .
A study conducted in Japan in 2012 found that a byproduct of kefir grain cultivation can reduce allergic inflammation by suppressing mast cell degranulation or release.
Furthermore, another study conducted in China in 2010 found that a bacterium present in the culture of kefir grains inhibits the production of IgE, which helps to moderate the body's allergic response.
These findings suggest that regular kefir consumption not only improves digestive health, but also strengthens the immune system, offering a natural defense against various diseases and allergic conditions .
