Is yogurt and kefir bad for acne, even though they help your digestive tract?
Yogurt and kefir are a bit double-edged swords when it comes to acne. On the negative side they increase hormone levels that affect acne, and several studies have linked dairy consumption to increased acne prevalence.On the positive side yogurt and kefir are good sources of probiotic bacteria. Research in the last 5 to 10 years has uncovered a link between skin and gut problems. Bacterial overgrowth and 'imbalance' in the gut can increase inflammation in the body and aggravate acne. Quite a few studies have shown that acne patients suffer from gut issues more frequently than people with healthy skin. There are also a handful of studies that show improvements in acne after treating gut issues with either antibiotics or probiotic supplements and fermented dairy drinks. More details here: http://www.acneeinstein.com/the-...How yogurt and kefir affects your skin, nobody can say in advance. If you suffer from acne you should get some probiotics into your daily regimen. Making your own yogurt is also quite simple. You can make it from soy milk to avoid potential problems with dairy products.
Does kefir have yeast or something?
Kefir is a fermented milk drink made with kefir "grains" and has its origins in the north Caucasus Mountains. It is prepared by cow, goat, or sheep milk with kefir grains. Nowdays, some people also use Soy or Almond milk for the preparation of Kefir. This is how Kefir grains or culture looks like:Kefir grains are added into the milk for the fermentation process and kept for one or two days till the grains start forming. Kefir is full of probiotics and different types of yeasts. Infact, Kefir does have more than 30 types of "Gut" friendly micro-organisms. There are different types of variations in Kefir and hence the taste and texture varies depending upon the milk and culture.Kefir and Yeast are much similar, here's one infographic which perfectly illustrates the differences and similarities in Yogurt and Kefir.You can find the article about the kefir and yogurt here.
What is the difference between wine yeast and regular bread baking yeast?
first what is yeast: Yeast are what turn sugar into alcohol. They are living organisms that consume and digest the sugars. As a result, they excrete alcohol and CO2 gas. Along with these two compounds also come various trace amounts of enzymes, oils, acid, etc. These are the things that give different alcohols their different characters.now difference between wine yeast and bread baking yeast:wine yeast is bred to obtain higher alcohol level than bread yeast means less CO2 gas. so if you are planning to make wine with bread yeast, you can but you'll sacrifice alcohol and flavor. Wine yeasts are special high tolerance yeasts which will live through to about 17% alcohol. Bread yeasts etc will die of alcohol poisoning at about 8%.Wine yeast clears more quickly and foams less while fermenting than bread yeast.It is also more tolerant to sodium metabisulfite, which is routinely used in wine making.bread yeast is only packaged under food-grade conditions. while wine yeast is package under sterile conditions because wine yeast is related to days or weeks like long term duration. sources: wine yeast vs baker's yeastIs Wine Yeast And Baking Yeast The Same? | E.

Is milk kefir good or bad for eczema?
When you say milk kefir I see two types of kefir. Coconut milk kefir or kefir from dairy. It depends long time ago when dairy was not ultra pasteurized, with added synthetic vitamins and the cows grass-fed and when not so many people were lactose intolerant or with inability breaking down certain protein, well I would say “you go girl or boy”!Nowadays, I think twice before making that recommendation. I prefer suggesting coconut milk kefir. Now, both are fermented and contain high amount of healthy bacteria that will nourish your gut lining and help restore balance. People don't know that eczema starts from the gut. A poor gut health can lead to skin inflammation and eczema. As mentioned above dairy tends to be all this; therefore increasing mucus and inflammation. Low pasteurized, grass fed (organic), and stored in glass jar goat or sheep milk might be very healing. As well as coconut milk kefir! Kefir contain much more healthy bacteria than yogurt and has shown healing properties in many recent studies which could help with eczema.

Best Bottled Kombucha Tea?
Hello. It really depends on what brands you have available to you in your area. GTs is available in most parts of the country, as well as High Country. Those two are "raw" and "active" kombucha beverages. If you have a local brand that is raw, that might offer the freshest kombucha. To reduce sugar intake, buy the original or unflavored kombucha. The sugar content is pretty low anyway, only a few grams per serving depending on your brew time and flavor. Two health issues from your post: 1. The acidosis question is unsubstantiated. There have been no proven cases of Kombucha toxicity on record, only suspected cases. Brewing mistakes and Healing Crisis may be to blame, but Kombucha has not been proven to have made anyone sick. 2. There are warnings against beginning kombucha consumption while breastfeeding or pregnant as the components may be passed to the child before the immune system is formed. I have read conflicting information about this and cannot offer definitive advice, but there are no cases I know of on record of a mother or child being affected.

Why have I started farting a lot after taking probiotics?
Belch, burp or fart, it is all a part of digestion. By adding probiotics you are putting in food for the good bacterium in your gut to thrive and multiply. When doing that it can cause flatulence, runny stools, gas, bloat, or burping. Ease back a bit on the probiotics and build it up until you have very little of those symptoms. Your PRO bacterium are having a fiesta right now. You might want to look into what you are eating, some foods such as milk products, legumes, or cruciferous veggies are gassy, and can cause more … ahem, noisy toots.Adding Prebiotics can be helpful, since many of our chemically laden foods, Splenda, artificial stuff and antibiotics can wipe out the natural colonies of good bugs in our guts. Prebiotics help to put them back and allow them to flourish. Often our cravings for carbs and sugars or fats are the bad bugs in our gut wanting to feast on those foods. These cause fatigue, bloating, achy joints, yeast problems (candida), and sometimes autoimmune problems.Some ways of getting good probiotics are by consuming fermented foods: soy sauces, yogurt, Kefir, pickles, vinegars (organic cider vinegar or balsamic are the best), sauerkraut and Kimchi, pickled eggs, miso, sourdough (real sourdough) or the like. These all contain probiotics naturally that help in digestion. But if you have had poor digestion and suddenly start a routine of Probiotic pills, you’ll get the gut rumbles.
Do yogurt and kefir (酸奶) cause dampness in Traditional Chinese medicine?
It is not that simple. Evil damp is the by-product of leftover food and water the spleen was unable to transform. is yogurt and dairy more difficult to transform than tea? then the answer is yes, and in this scenario you are more likely to have dampness from yogurt, however this is not guaranteed. Dampness is Yin, and Yin can transform into Yang. meaning with proper treatment, dampness can be transformed from it’s stagnant form into energy or useful yin (blood, ying etc.).If you are living in a condition and life style which allows this to happen (hunter gatherer lifstyles) then dampness can be useful. One should have very strong Yin or some dampness when using Ma Huang Tang for example which will burn the yin/damp to open the vents and let the yang flare and expel the surface evil. This is why the use of this herb causes weightloss and why people overdosed and died on it due to not proper supervision.
How can you make your farts smell better?
I’ve had pretty stinky farts since I was a little child. Recently I made some discoveries about how to make your farts smell better.First of all, there are many different possible causes for stinky farts. This list of cures for stinky farts attempt to deal with all the possible causes.Parsley - Eat green parsley, dried or fresh with every meal. The natural oils in parsley help to improve the odor of your mouth, your burps and your farts.Enzymes - Eat more food with enzymes in it, like raw pineapple and papaya. Raw ginger can also help. Enzymes help to make sure that all the food in your digestion is broken down and completely digested before it enters the lower parts of your digestion.Lactic acid bacteria - Yogurt or kefir and other fermented beverages that use lactic acid bacteria are also beneficial for your digestion and the bacteria help to keep your digestion operating at optimum efficiency and in a cleaner fashion.I know this is kind of a strange story, but one time, the sewage backed up in our house and there was poop in the bathtub. It smelled horrible and I didn’t have anything to spray on it to help get rid of the stink. I had read somewhere that lactic acid bacteria can get rid of poop stink, so I took some lactic acid bacteria and sprayed it on the tub and the smell instantly got better. It still smelled a little bit like poop, but it was way less stinky.So I figured that if lactic acid bacteria could do that to the poop smell in the bathtub, it could probably work on the poop in my butt, and it did. My farts have been smelling much better since following the advice listed above.
What happens if an adult eats a lot of honey?
Honey like sugar can cause a big difference in osmotic pressure in the gut, drawing water into the intestines resulting in bloat and watery stools.Also if you take into consideration that a lot of people have intestinal infestations of yeast it can lead to gas and bloating. A dirty little secret of our medical system is that oral antibiotics don't just kill bad bacteria, but ALL bacteria, even the good ones in our gut that we need to digest food properly. So like in nature, when a vacuum occurs, something moves in to occupy it. In this case, live yeast from non pasteurized craft beer, bread yeast from artisanal bread or pizza and other forms.This means that honey will feed the yeasties and result in dramatic bloating and gas. Notice that some beer drinkers have large guts? Those guts are solid, not flabby aprons of fat. What would you think it would take to blow someone's belly up like a big hard football? Yeah, an intestinal yeast infection.Anyone who has ever taken antibiotics orally has done this. If they were lucky and happened to take probiotics or acidopholus tabs regularly they probably dodged a bullet. I have only had two doctors in my 60 year life that brought up the need to take probiotics or acidopholus tabs near the end of a cycle of antibiotics to prevent such intestinal infestations.So if you got bloated by honey, you got yeast and the honey started a ferment in your belly. I make a home made electrolyte drink made with raw honey and it bloats me less than water does. I also home brew and so drink beer that has live yeast in it. The thing I also do is take acidopholus tabs and drink probiotic drinks like Kefir.Other than that one caveat I don't know of many downsides to excessive honey consumption except maybe put you on the path to type 2 diabetes.
