Are you aware of the importance behind digestion? Dave Foreman, Lime's Herbal Pharmacist spills his guts.

Probiotics -- or foods that contain good bacteria -- are poised to become the next big food sensation. Will the health benefits live up to the hype?

Packed with calcium, protein, and beneficial bacterial yogurt is undoubtedly a superfood, but kefir is even healthier - a super-superfood if you will. I've always liked kefir, which is similar in taste and texture to drinkable yogurt, and I like it even more now that I know that it translates to "feel good" in Turkish.

Made from raw goat, cow, ox or sheep milk, kefir has an enhanced artillery of health benefits that make yogurt look silly in comparison. While both cultured milk products have healthy bacteria, kefir has strains that are rarely found in yogurt like lactobacillus caucasus, leuconostoc, acetobacter species, and streptococcus species. And kefir also beats yogurt with yeast. The Turkish drink contains several healthy yeasts like saccharomyces kefir and torula kefir, which help to control and eliminate pathogenic yeasts.
