10 Kefir ( p r o n o u n c e d "kee'- fur," "kuh-feer'," or "keh'-fur"), a tangy dairy beverage, is most- commonly known as a "drinkable yogurt." It originates from the Caucasus Mountains in Eastern Europe and is considered a super power in probiotics, because it has more microflora than yogurt — about 50 strains, including bacteria and yeast, says Hodkins. Traditional kefir is cultured with "kefir grains," a culture of lumpy clumps of beneficial bacteria and yeasts that technically aren't a "grain." Dairy kefir is a good source of calcium and protein and is traditionally made from cow's or goat's milk, but now almond and soy milk varieties are available. Water kefir is a lighter drink made from kefir grains (small, translucent- looking crystals) fermented in sugar water, juice, or even coconut water. Water kefir also provides more bacteria and yeasts than yogurt, says Hodkins. It is easily home- fermented, and fruit-flavored kefirs make a nice alternative to sodas. Kombucha , a f i z z y , slightly vinegar-like f e r m e n t e d t e a , h a s its origins in ancient C h i n a . I t w a s t r a - ditionally made with black tea and sugar, but today green tea and honey are also used. Kombucha generally has a handful of beneficial bacterial strains and is a good source of B vitamins, says Richardson. Trace amounts of alcohol can be found is some versions. Fields encourages people to opt for commercially available kombucha, since it is made in more carefully- controlled environments and also is less likely to harbor bad bacteria. Kvass is a less-well known fermented beverage originating from the Ukraine and Russian area that was traditionally made from stale bread, says Hodkins. When left to ferment, it becomes an effervescent live-culture beverage tasting similar to beer without high alcohol content. Modern "kvass" also refers to sour tonic beverages, fermented from vegetables and fruits, that are not the bread-based version. www.atagimd.com Has time, motherhood or just plain genetics left you wishing for more beautiful curves?
