A secret for good health

Thursday, January 26, 2023  Well my post today has little to do with alpacas, but a lot to do with good health. Medical bills, vet bills and health challenges are things I try to avoid.  If you’ve ever been in our kitchen, you’ve probably seen what looks like a jar of milk sitting on the counter. It’s my kefir! I am a big fan of kefir and I grow a new batch every single day and I have been doing that for more than 20 years!  All 4 of our dogs get it every day, the barn cats get some, and I have even fed it to an alpaca once or twice. (I’m convinced it helped our Bodhi dog recover from cancer) I took it twice a day when I was on antibiotics for my dog bite.  Click the link to find out exactly What is kefir?   I like to think of good vs evil going on inside a body.  The bad guys, germs, viruses etc. get in because such is life, and the good guys (from probiotics like kefir) need to outnumber the bad guys to win. I ordered my kefir grains many years ago from Cultured Food life. and I’ve kept them growing and multiplying happily ever since. I’ve shared my kefir with many many people – “babies” from my kefir grains are even growing all over Southeast Asia!  But they do need attention. I think of my kefir grains as another animal I need to feed each day. There is a way to rest them for a few days, but honestly, they do best when fed daily. So do some research, and if you want to try some kefir grains, I often have some to share to share. I used to give them to anyone who wanted them for free, but you know what happens with free stuff? It doesn’t seem as valuable, and doesn’t get taken care of, so I’m not doing that any more. But I will offer them with shipping on my website for a nominal fee. My grains are healthy and happy and multiply in about a week to 10 days so that is how often I’ll have them to share.  Let me know if you are interested.
