Kefir before bedtime: nutritionist revealed unexpected benefits of the popular drink

Nutritionist-endocrinologist Anton Polyakov talked about the significant benefits of consuming kefir in the evening. Thanks to its rich beneficial microflora, this fermented milk drink helps improve digestive processes and natural cleansing of the intestines. The specialist emphasized that with good tolerance to milk protein casein, kefir can be an ideal option for a light snack before bedtime.

"This is definitely better than sweets or sausage, which many choose before sleep," the expert noted in an interview with "AiF". "Kefir maintains intestinal microflora balance, strengthens immunity, promotes restoration of intestinal wall cells due to short-chain fatty acids, reduces inflammation and suppresses the growth of harmful bacteria."
