let’s talk about the difference between kefir  and kombucha tea which one is healthier well  

kefir mostly is created from lactic acid bacteria  whereas kombucha is created more from acetic acid  

bacteria so we have two separate bacterias that  are creating this end product now with lactic acid  

bacteria we have that bacteria in our gut but we  don’t have acetic acid bacteria because this type  

of bacteria needs oxygen and there’s not a lot  of oxygen inside our digestive system but we can  

benefit from the byproduct of acetic acid bacteria  now when you hear the word acetic acid you  

typically think vinegar which is true but acetic  acid is also the majority of acid in kombucha tea  

so let’s start with kefir okay and it has to  do with lactic acid that’s generated from the  

lactic acid bacteria which also has to do with  the same acid when you ferment vegetables like in  

sauerkraut and kimchi so the benefit of kefir has  everything to do with the benefit of lactic acid  

and the benefit of lactic acid bacteria so this  allows you to digest lactose a lot better lactose  

is milk sugar it helps with regular bowel  movements and especially to avoid getting  

constipated it also helps fight against pathogens  it decreases inflammation it increases the immune  

system especially against colds and the flu  it even can help prevent colon cancer and  

the formation of polyps in the in the colon and it  can actually help you lose weight all right that’s  

on the kefir side where you have lactic acid and  lactic acid bacteria all right let’s switch over  

to kombucha tea which is really the benefit of  acetic acid not the bacteria because we can’t grow  

acetic acid bacteria in our guts all right  so this acid helps with your blood sugars  

and it really helps to make insulin more sensitive  and with that comes a lot of different benefits  

it will help you lower blood pressure it reduces  inflammation it helps you digest just from the  

standpoint of adding an acid to your system  it helps to decrease the growth of pathogens  

and it can increase mineral absorption  now just as an interesting side now  

sour dough bread uses both the lactic acid  bacteria and the acetic acid bacteria which i’m  

not recommending but i just wanted to let you  know so which one is uh healthier well that’s  

a hard decision because both of them have their  unique benefits so if you’re enjoying my content
