The basis for any type of yogurt is of course milk. You can use cow milk, goat milk, any milk you want at this point. If you use raw milk you will need to cook it. Since raw milk has never been cooked this way you are killing all the potentially harmful bacteria that can make you sick. Please don’t skip these steps because consuming raw milk can be harmful, especially for children. You want to make sure you bring it to a boil.

How To Make Kombucha-Basic Recipe

Kombucha is acidic in nature. While your regular tap water would have a PH of 7, Kombucha is in a range of PH 3.5 to 2.5. The longer you leave it to ferment it will taste more acidic. The usual time for the first fermentation is from 6-9 days but that is completely up to the brewer. It will also depend on the amount sugar added and the temperature of the area in which the kombucha is fermenting.

The Ketogenic Diet – Is It All That Bad?

The ketogenic diet really delivers what it promotes. It’s based on being high in fats, moderate in protein intake, and low on carbs. Once you spend a couple of days on a keto diet your body enters a metabolic state called ketosis. It starts turning fats into ketones (molecules that supply energy for the brain). Other benefits besides weight loss are reduction in appetite and food intake, also it lowers insulin levels, which are beneficial for improving insulin sensitivity and blood sugar management. So if you are looking for a way to lose weight fast this is your tool.
