So, I’ve recently started to take a better care of my health, and I read a lot of things about how important it is to have a healthy intestinal flora. I read about homemade yogurts, but it got me wondering, from where do the probiotics come from just heating milk up? And why aren’t they present in not heated milk?
When you make homemade yogurt, you need to stir a spoonful (or cupful depending on how much you’re making) of “starter” in after the heating/cooling the milk. You can buy starter, or just use some yogurt you already have. I usually set aside a half pint of yogurt in a jar when I make it, then use that for the next batch.
Hi, probiotics are essentially good bacteria that your gut needed to replenish dead bacteria. You mentioned about intestinal flora, that’s good, because intestinal flora means the ecosystem within, so the more variant of bacteria from pre/pro biotic - the better it is for your gut and the stronger your immune system becomes.
You can get other probiotics from fermented food - such as kimchi, sauerkraut, beer and wine, although do exercise some restraint for alcohol. Different food source provides different types of bacteria and you need a variety, but its great effort to start take care of your health, keep it up
buy a kefir starter on Amazon and use it with whole milk. you will need proper jars and strainer. search YouTube for guidance. so easy. homemade will have so many more strains of bacteria than store bought.
