Homemade yogurt is the secret of strong immunity

Hello! I am pleased to present you an article on this topic:

Healthy nutrition is the main friend of a strong immune system. The fact is that 80% of our immunity is formed in the intestines. And intestinal health depends on consuming enough beneficial lacto- and bifidobacteria, which maintain healthy microflora. These bacteria are found in starters intended for making homemade fermented milk products. We'll tell you how to find the healthiest sourdough starter for the whole family.

Autumn and winter are the times when the immunity of adults and children is especially weakened. Along with the cold comes colds and flus that you want to avoid. It’s nice that it’s easy to prevent harmful microorganisms from entering the body and preventing disease. More precisely: it is possible to grow defenders that will defeat viruses and pathogens.

Beneficial lacto- and bifidobacteria – inhabitants of a healthy intestine – will help in the fight against seasonal “pests”. To maintain immunity, you need to saturate your intestines with these bacteria. Their entire “population” is about 1.5 kg - this is a separate organ, the intestinal microflora. It helps digest food, absorb vitamins and provides natural protection to the body.

A person has several types of immunity. One of them is the intestinal immune system. It makes up about 80% of total immunity and is the first barrier to infections. The state of this protection directly depends on the health of the microflora. It destroys dangerous bacteria, viruses and fungi, helps the immune system recognize “bad” microorganisms and form protection against them throughout the body.

In addition, microflora ensures digestion and the production of vitamins and microelements, promoting their absorption into the blood. So it provides the immune system with material to build protection against dangerous microbes.

Maintaining immunity is simple - you need to regularly consume high-quality natural fermented milk products with live lacto- and bifidobacteria.

You should hardly trust store-bought yoghurts in matters of health. The facts say that the choice should be made in favor of homemade fermented milk products. For example, bacteria beneficial to humans live no more than 5 days, and the shelf life of yoghurts in stores is up to 30 days.

And the most important thing is the composition of homemade yogurt: milk plus live bacteria. Store-bought yogurts can contain up to 10 ingredients, many of which are harmful.

Sourdough starters for homemade products vary in quality. You need to approach their choice responsibly, especially if you decide to switch to fermented milk with your whole family.

One of the important indicators is the number of truly beneficial lacto- and bifidobacteria. Pay attention to the quality and quantity of bacteria in your starters.

The maximum number of beneficial bacteria in GoodFood starters is 14 lacto- and bifidobacteria. The manufacturer uses only bacteria necessary for the body, the benefits of which have been confirmed by research. No other starter culture in Ukraine has this quality.

The number of living bacteria in GoodFood starters is tens of times higher than its analogues. These are first generation bacteria - the same as in the human intestines.

The GoodFood line includes the Immunalis starter to strengthen the immune system of adults and children.

The Ministry of Health of Ukraine recommends 6 GoodFood starters for complementary feeding to children from 6 months. Among them: “Yoghurt”, “Symbiotic”, “Immunalis”, “Narine”, “Biokefir”, “Bifidocomplex”.

You can trust the quality of GoodFood sourdoughs - they are produced in Italy by BIOCHEM, the leader of the sourdough market in Europe. The GoodFood company has an ISO 9001:2008 certificate, guaranteeing compliance with international standards. These are the only such starter cultures in Ukraine. The manufacturer tests the product for the presence of all declared bacteria twice: at the plant and at the Institute of Microbiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Such tests must be carried out with each batch. This confirms the reliability of GoodFood starters.

GoodFood became No. 1 in sales in the “homemade yogurt starter” category. AND
