Benefits of Consuming Kefir for Better Sleep

Consuming kefir in the evening can help improve sleep. Kefir is a fermented drink that contains a large number of beneficial microbes, including bacteria and yeast. These microbes promote the production of serotonin in the gut, which can then be converted into melatonin, the sleep neurotransmitter. Unlike yogurt, kefir microbes are able to survive the stomach acid and provide a wide range of benefits. Kefir not only acts as a probiotic for the gut but also helps lower cortisol levels, reduce allergies and asthma, balance cholesterol, aid digestion, and boost the immune system.
