Dietitian Evgeny Arzamastsev commented on the use of kefir before bed.
Different points of view are expressed regarding the use of kefir at a later time. Doctor Arzamastsev appreciated drinking kefir before bed. According to a specialist, you can drink this fermented milk drink before bed; it is well absorbed by the body and does not increase the load on the gastrointestinal tract.
“Kefir does not contain fiber. That is, it does not force the stomach and intestines to work hard, which also need to rest at night. Therefore, it is allowed to drink kefir before going to bed,” the expert said in a comment to Moscow 24.
Arzamastsev added that kefir helps out in cases where hunger “wakes up” late in the day, preventing you from falling asleep normally. A full meal on the eve of the night is not recommended, but a portion of kefir containing protein and a little fat is quite capable of quelling an inappropriate appetite.
The doctor advised drinking one percent kefir at night.
Previously, the MedikForum portal. ru wrote that nutritionist Elena Tikhomirova warned: obese people should not drink kefir at night. If there are no problems with weight, then drinking kefir will not harm the body, the doctor said, refuting the claim that the drink can cause prediabetes.
