Which Type of Probiotic
Liquid Should You Choose? Is There a "Best" One for You?
Imagine replacing gut-damaging soda pop with delicious, healing probiotic
liquids! With do-it-yourself and convenience options, there are a variety
of choices to share health and longevity with your family.

Fermented foods and drinks are the mainstay of the Body Ecology system of
health and healing because they populate your gut with the friendly bacteria
(microflora) that keep you healthy and strong.
What makes the microflora special is that they go to work for you, protecting
you from pathogens, aiding digestion and making sure you have the vitamins
and minerals your body needs.
Body Ecology offers many options for probiotic-rich fermented drinks with
these overall benefits:
- Slow down the signs of aging
- Ease digestive distress
- Absorb more nutrients from your food
- Balance your hormones
- Prevent colds and flu
- Boost your energy and immunity
Emails and phone calls pour in daily with many testimonials telling us that
the Body Ecology Diet and the fermented foods and beverages have helped greatly.
Because fermented foods are new to most Americans, we also get lots of questions.
Since we can't answer all of them individually our weekly email newsletter
is designed to educate and inform.
A frequent question we've been getting a lot of lately is "which probiotic
liquid should I drink"?
We offer a range of solutions from do-it-yourself to on-the-go convenience.
This article will outline a few of the key differences in the probiotic liquids,
so you can make the choice that best supports your specific health needs.
If You Like to Do-it-Yourself
- Young Coconut Kefir - You can make this fermented drink at home
with the mineral-rich liquid from young green coconuts and Body Ecology's
Kefir
Starter.
A case of nine fresh young coconuts can often be purchased for as little
as $15.00; check your local Asian market or health food store. Nine small
coconuts will make a half gallon of young coconut kefir, so this is an economical
drink.
Young Coconut Kefir makes a great healing drink for children with autism
and anyone with digestive distress. In our BEDROK program for autism, we
recommend that our kids try to drink as much as one pint of young coconut
kefir juice per day (divided throughout the day). They drink it plain with
food to assist digestion and they also drink it as a "juice" combined
with a sour juice concentrate like black currant juice, cranberry, pomegranate,
or blueberry concentrates. It is then sweetened with Body
Ecology Stevia.
Choose Young Coconut Kefir if You Want:
- To stop sugar cravings
- To start the Body Ecology program to conquer candida
- To improve your skin
- To cleanse your liver and endocrine system
- A flatter stomach - Young Coconut Kefir has a tonifying effect on your
intestines
- A
hangover cure
Young Coconut Kefir is fun to make at home by following our easy directions.
- Milk Kefir - Made from fermented milk (cow's and goat milk both
work well) and Body Ecology's Kefir
Starter, milk kefir is a wonderful alternative to other fermented beverages.
It contains the same beneficial bacteria and yeast as homemade Young Coconut
Kefir, and it brings a new flavor and rich texture into your Body Ecology
diet.
If you have an inflamed, open permeable gut lining, when you first begin
following the Body Ecology program, we do not recommend drinking
kefir made from milk. You do not want the casein (the predominant protein)
in milk to leak through the permeable gut wall causing allergic type reactions.
We recommend you wait to drink milk kefir until your gut is healed and your
inner ecosystem is well established (after about 3 months on the Body Ecology
program).
But milk kefir is absolutely delicious for the millions who do thrive on
it.
At Body Ecology we prefer milk kefir to yogurt
because it is more potent.
Kefir has more live microflora and unlike yogurt, kefir has
beneficial yeast.
Choose Milk Kefir if You Want:
- Smoothies - thick and rich, you can add stevia and sour fruits, like
blueberries or cranberries for a delicious morning smoothie.
- To boost your mood - milk kefir is the 'feel good' drink because it
boosts serotonin levels in your brain, which in turn boosts your mood!
- A good source of biotin, vitamin B12, thiamine (B1), folic acid, calcium
and phosphorous.
- A source of dairy that is easier to digest.
- To coat your intestinal lining, making it easier for benefical bacteria
to thrive in your intestines.
- To cool your body, especially if you have a fever or any condition resulting
in body heat, like a herpes outbreak or AIDS.
- Kefir is a very popular breakfast in Russia and Poland in the hot months
of summer because it is a cooling beverage.

Kefir is very easy to make at home. Just:
- Warm the milk to 90 degrees (slightly below skin temperature).
- Stir in the kefir
starter.
- Pour this mixture into a glass jar with a tight fitting lid and wait
24 hours while it ferments.
- When fermented, shake well and refrigerate until ready to drink.
NOTE: Instructions for milk kefir as well as instructions for
making kefir cheese and kefir whey are included in our package of kefir
starter.
