Yogurt & Kefir
Being rich in probiotics, both yogurt and kefir are essential for the health of your gut. Many people suffer from an imbalanced gut due to prescribed antibiotics, which have a significant negative impact on it. And an unhealthy gut can trigger numerous issues and diseases, such as diabetes, skin disorders, weight problems, acid reflux, upset stomach, autoimmune illnesses, and even mental health problems.
But the probiotics from yogurt and kefir help you to rebalance the bacteria from your gut, preventing all these problems. You will enjoy a better digestion, which will also contribute to a stronger immunity, as your body will be able to absorb essential nutrients.
A study made at the University of California reveals that probiotics also have a great impact on your brain. For instance, researchers found out that our brain determines our body to respond much better to anxiety, stress, and pain when we consume probiotics.
Rosewater
Besides its many beauty benefits, rosewater is also used in cuisine. Its antiseptic properties are essential for killing bad bacteria from the gut. Rosewater plays a significant role in detoxifying intestines and easing stomach problems, as well.
Its high amounts of vitamins A, B, C, and E help your body rejuvenate much quicker and boost your immunity.
The anti-inflammatory effect of rosewater will also contribute to a better overall health and a beautiful, blemish-free skin.
Not to mention that rosewater has a calming and relaxing effect, which is perfect for fighting anxiety.
