4. It helps relieve allergies
People can be allergic to a wide variety of elements, from food components to dust to medication to certain materials like metals or latex. But what all allergies have in common is the basic mechanism behind them. An allergy is an abnormal, disfunctional reaction of our immune system towards a substance that, though harmless to our bodies, this system detects as a potential threat to our organism.
Allergies can be mild, moderate or severe and, in the worst case scenario, they can be deadly. Many allergens can help fight this abnormal reaction by regulating the activity of the immune system. Thanks to its many beneficial components, kefir is excellent to get your immune system back in track, especially respiratory allergic syndromes such as asthma. Kefir helps reduce the inflammation of cells in your lungs and airways which close up and make it difficult for you to breathe; also, they reduce the production of mucus which causes allergic cough.
