Benefit
A mixture made from nutmeg and kefir brings great benefits. Each of the products used to prepare such a miraculous cocktail has its own effect on the body. The simultaneous use of such products only enhances the impact.
Nutmeg is the first ingredient in the drink. It is worth noting that this product has a fairly high calorie content. It contains in its composition many nutrients that provide the body with energy. So, even after eating a small portion of nutmeg, a person has a feeling of satiety, and there is an improvement in digestive processes.
Nutmeg is a wonderful product that is often used in various diets. During food restrictions, many spices are excluded from the human menu, however, nutmeg is allowed in a small amount. Its use helps to add variety to the usual dishes, and also improves the functioning of the body.Even a small amount of this spice helps to stimulate digestion, which has a positive effect on the process of losing weight in general.
An important effect of nutmeg is that it is able to speed up metabolism. The more actively metabolic processes occur in cells, the better all organ systems work. It is no coincidence that after eating nutmeg, a person’s mood normalizes, and even working capacity increases.
Traditional medicine experts recommend eating this product for people with eating disorders. Its use will help stimulate metabolic processes, which means it will contribute to better digestion of food in the body and its further assimilation.
It is also noteworthy that nutmeg contains substances that can have a stimulating effect on the processes of lipolysis in the body. This process is characterized by a decrease in the amount of adipose tissue. The more actively lipolysis proceeds, the faster a person loses those extra pounds that he hates.
The use of nutmeg naturally helps to achieve smooth weight loss due to a decrease in body fat percentage.
Since ancient times, this spice has been valued for the fact that it helps to diversify the taste of any, even the most familiar dishes. So, nutmeg contains a large amount of plant components that can affect the receptors of the tongue. Irritation of such receptor endings contributes to the fact that a person has specific sensations after eating dishes or drinks made from nutmeg.
The second product that is required to make a healthy drink is kefir.This fermented milk product has a huge effect on the body. Doctors note that people who regularly consume fresh fermented milk drinks significantly reduce the incidence of viral and microbial infections. Also, with regular use of such a drink, the intestinal microflora is restored, which naturally helps to strengthen the immune system.

Possible harm
Any natural remedy should be taken according to certain recommendations. Only such a correct application can guarantee that after using this remedy, the long-awaited result will appear. Doctors point out that in no case should you exceed the recommended dosages of drinking a healthy drink.
Some people want to quickly achieve the desired result and increase the dose of this cocktail. Such an independent decision often causes many unpleasant symptoms.If you drink a drink in large quantities, then it can no longer bring health benefits, but real harm. For example, after exceeding the recommended dosage, pain may appear along the intestine. Often there are symptoms of dyspepsia: heartburn, burning in the stomach, nausea.
In order to reduce the risk of developing such unpleasant symptoms, drinking kefir with nutmeg should be in the recommended amount.
To prepare an effective remedy, it is very important to use quality products. Kefir is one of the products in which, if stored improperly, microbes that are dangerous to health can appear. Before drinking kefir, it should be examined and smelled. The drink should have a uniform texture, white color and a pleasant creamy smell. If the smell of kefir has changed and become strange, then the use of such a product should be discarded, as it can cause the development of symptoms of food poisoning, and this will lead to unpleasant consequences.
How to prepare and consume
Making a healthy kefir cocktail is quite simple. It only takes a few simple ingredients, which are usually always on hand. However, if for some reason such products were not at home, then they can be easily purchased at the nearest store.
So, to make a drink you will need:
- nutmeg - half a piece;
- kefir - 250 ml;
- salt and black ground pepper;
- fresh parsley - 2-3 sprigs.
Before preparing the drink, nutmeg should be finely grated. In order to achieve the desired effect, it is very important to observe certain proportions. So, for 200-300 ml of kefir, just half a small nutmeg is enough.If you put too much of this fragrant spice, then you can achieve the appearance of nausea, and in some cases even vomiting.
For convenience, parsley should be cut into several large pieces. In this case, the preparation of the drink will take only a few seconds. After all the preliminary preparation is done, these components must be “loaded” into the blender. The drink will be ready when all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together.
Such a spicy kefir cocktail should be drunk immediately after it has been prepared. It is better to prepare a new portion of the drink each time before taking it. In this case, it will be possible to achieve a better result.
This recipe takes some liberties. For example, to prepare a kefir cocktail, it is not at all necessary to take a whole nutmeg. Ground will work too. It contains active substances that help improve the functioning of the body. Such a product can be bought at the store in the department with spices and seasonings.
One glass of aromatic drink a day will be enough to improve health. The recipe also allows the exclusion of a number of products. For example, people who do not like the taste of black ground pepper or parsley can exclude these products from the cocktail. The taste of the drink can also be slightly changed at will. For example, instead of parsley, you can put a couple of sprigs of fresh basil in it. This will give the drink new flavors and bring benefits to the body.
It is also allowed to use a spicy kefir drink without the addition of any greens. In this case, only kefir is mixed with nutmeg. It is worth noting that in such a kefir cocktail you should not put a lot of salt. Sodium chloride helps reduce fluid excretion from the body, which can lead to slower weight loss. This should not be forgotten by people who decide to use kefir with nutmeg in order to lose weight a little.
The temperature of taking such a drink is also important. It is allowed to drink slightly chilled. However, too cold kefir can contribute to the appearance of a sore throat. It is better to take the kefir out of the refrigerator before preparing the drink so that it warms up a little.
Reviews
This drink, according to many people who have tried it, really affects the body. Some people note that after a course of its use, they managed to cope with the problem of constipation, which tormented them for a long time. They also note that against the background of drinking the drink, there is a small weight loss. Of course, it will not be possible to achieve a pronounced weight loss only through the use of a kefir cocktail, but it will still be possible to get rid of a couple of extra pounds.
Many people say that after the use of such a drink they had a violation of consciousness. A similar effect is indeed possible with the use of nutmeg in large quantities. This fragrant product contains substances that can cause visual hallucinations. Therefore, doctors do not advise exceeding the recommended dosage of nutmeg when preparing drinks based on it.
