3. Kefir
Kefir is often associated with a large number of powerful health benefits such as blood sugar management and improved digestion. It is also well known for its properties in rebuilding and strengthening bones. This fermented beverage is practically an upgrade to yogurt.
“It has a different range of bacteria than yogurt, but similar benefits, such as the ability to lower cholesterol and boost immune function,” says Susan Kleiner, PhD, author of The Good Mood Diet. A study also found that it’s even more effective than fruit juice and other dairy beverages at curbing hunger.
Pro tip: Use it instead of milk or yogurt in a morning or as your postworkout smoothie.
