Probably everyone knows about the benefits of kefir.

The fermented milk drink contains vitamins, protein, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, and beneficial bacteria.

Kefir is also not very caloric, so it is suitable for people who are losing weight.

Drinking the drink has a positive effect on the condition of the heart, blood vessels, and gastrointestinal tract.

But many people have a question: “What time of day is best to drink kefir?”

Gourmets also ask the following questions: “Can I drink the drink immediately after waking up and right before going to bed?”

When is it better to drink kefir - in the morning or in the evening

The answer is simple: you should drink the drink both in the morning on an empty stomach and shortly before going to bed.

When consumed in the morning, kefir will help improve digestion. The positive effect will last throughout the day.

When drinking kefir in the evening, a person gets rid of the feeling of hunger, which often appears 1-2 hours before bedtime. After drinking a glass of kefir, a person will be satiated without overloading the gastrointestinal tract. There will be no "breakdown". There will be no problems with sleep either.

It is worth emphasizing that kefir, unlike milk, can be drunk right before bed.

There is another important point: it is recommended to drink a maximum of 2 glasses of fermented milk drink per day. Therefore, it is worth doing this in the morning and in the evening.

However, if you want to drink kefir during the day, then feel free to do so. The main thing is not to exceed the norm (400 milliliters per day).
