\t\t\t\tNEW from the BEACH FARM COMMUNITY<\/a>: VEGAN YOGURT – Being an animal lover, I totally support the VEGAN PURSUIT, and embrace the trend towards finding plant based alternatives to animal products. \u00a0A very dear friend of mine, Jo Lomax, who broadcasts a show called RECLAIMING PERCEPTION<\/a> on our humanitarian focused online live broadcast network, Conscious Consumer Network<\/a>, and who is a fully committed Vegan for the last 10 years, introduced me to non Soya based Vegan Yogurt in the early part of 2017, being yogurt made with fermented coconut cream. \u00a0It was this find that allowed me to fully eliminate dairy products from my diet. \u00a0In fact, the alternative to dairy based yogurt was so satisfying, that I wondered why I had never come across it before, as it tasted better than dairy yogurt.<\/p>\n

Upon moving to the Algarve in mid 2017, I was disappointed not to be able to find a reasonably priced Vegan Yogurt. After much searching, I finally found some at Apolonia<\/a>, an over priced, upmarket supermarket, that stocks coconut based yogurt for 3 euros for a 125 ml serving. \u00a0I personally found this far to much to pay for such a small amount of yogurt, and thus, I began the process of trying to develop my own plant based yogurt.<\/p>\n

BEACH FARM VEGAN YOGURT<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With the establishment of the BEACH FARM COMMUNITY<\/a>, plans were put in place to develop a farm market, as well as selling BEACH FARM COMMUNITY<\/a> produce at various markets around the Algarve. \u00a0One of the products that we have been proudest to produce is BEACH FARM VEGAN YOGURT, made with organic coconut cream and fermented with kefir.<\/p>\n

BEACH FARM VEGAN YOGURT is both lactose and gluten free, whilst\u00a0supplying your gut with lots of\u00a0beneficial bacteria that improves your immune system, digestive system and fights infection.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

HEALTH BENEFITS OF BEACH FARM VEGAN YOGURT<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. IMMUNE SYSTEM BOOSTER<\/p>\n

Coconut fermented with kefir, is one of the best probiotic foods\u00a0around, and we know probiotics are the special forces of the microbial world. One in particular that is specific to kefir alone is called\u00a0L<\/em>actobacillus kefiri<\/i>, and it helps defend against harmful bacteria like salmonella and E. coli. This bacterial strain, along with the various other handfuls, help moderate the immune system and inhibit many predatory bacteria growth.<\/p>\n

Kefir also contains another powerful compound found only in this probiotic drink, an\u00a0 insoluble polysaccharide called kefiran. A 2005\u00a0study published in the\u00a0International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents\u00a0<\/em>showed kefiran is\u00a0antimicrobial, helps fight against candida symptoms and even speeds healing of external wounds.<\/p>\n

2. DIGESTIVE AID<\/p>\n

Your gut flora or gut micro-biome is made up of a complex community of microorganisms that live in your digestive tract, and it\u2019s directly impacted by your diet. Consuming BEACH FARM VEGAN YOGURT on a regular basis is an excellent way to optimize the health of your personal gut microbiome, which means improved functioning and health of your digestive system.<\/p>\n

The probiotics found in BEACH FARM VEGAN YOGURT are excellent for discouraging constipation and encouraging healthy elimination on a regular basis. The probiotics also help restore your good flora that fight against pathogens and aid against disruptive diarrhea and other gastrointestinal side effects caused by taking antibiotics. BEACH FARM VEGAN YOGURT\u00a0is also especially great for digestion due to the lauric acid it naturally contains. Lauric acid\u00a0converts to monolaurin in the body, which helps protect against gastrointestinal infections, worms, viruses and more.<\/p>\n

3. ALLERGIES AND ASTHMA REMEDY<\/p>\n

Coconut fermented with kefir is an excellent way to up your daily probiotic intake and get your allergies and asthma\u00a0under control.\u00a0Various forms of allergies and asthma are all linked to internal inflammation and suboptimal gut health. In animal studies conducted at the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology\u2019s Natural Medicine Research Center, kefir was shown to reduce inflammatory cells disrupting the lungs and air passages, as well as reduce mucus buildup.<\/p>\n

The live microorganisms present in kefir help promote the immune system to naturally suppress allergic reactions and aid in changing the body\u2019s response to the systemic outbreak points for allergies. \u00a0Many scientists believe allergic reactions result from a lack of good bacteria in the gut. Researchers from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center performed 23 different studies with almost 2,000 people, and in 17 of those studies, test subjects taking probiotics showed improved allergic symptoms and quality of life.<\/p>\n

4. CANCER FIGHTER<\/p>\n

Cancer is a serious epidemic impacting our country and the world today. \u00a0BEACH FARM VEGAN YOGURT can play a big role in helping your body fight this nasty disease.\u00a0Kefir\u2019s healthy bacteria play a large anti-carcinogenic role inside the body, making it a potential cancer-fighting food.\u00a0Most cancer studies have involved dairy kefir, but positive outcomes are easily and likely\u00a0transferable to coconut kefir since the fermentation and resulting good bacteria make kefir of all varieties so amazing. One study (with dairy-based kefir) showed that kefir can slow the growth of early tumors and their enzymatic conversions from non-carcinogenic to carcinogenic. \u00a0In addition, one in-vitro test conducted at the School of Dietetics and Human Nutrition at the Macdonald Campus of McGill University in Canada showed that kefir reduced breast cancer cells by 56 percent (as opposed to yogurt strains that reduced cells by 14 percent). \u00a0BEACH FARM VEGAN YOGURT can also help fight cancer due to coconut’s antiviral properties.\u00a0The hydration power and high electrolyte content of coconut can also help combat chemotherapy\u2019s common side effects of diarrhea, dehydration and general nutrient depletion. Leading conventional cancer treatment centers even recommend coconut water as part of management of chemo symptoms.<\/p>\n

5. SAFE TO CONSUME FOR THOSE WITH LACTOSE INTOLERANCE<\/p>\n

BEACH FARM VEGAN YOGURT contains no dairy or lactose, making it a safe option for those who suffer from the symptoms of Lactose intolerance. \u00a0Coconut’s natural sugars and proteins are able to be broken down by the kefir grains and transformed into the delicious thick yogurt without the need for the lactose of dairy.<\/p>\n

6. PROVIDES POTASSIUM<\/p>\n

Coconuts are high in the crucial mineral known as potassium. In fact, a serving of BEACH FARM VEGAN YOGURT contains just as much potassium as four bananas. \u00a0The powerful level of potassium in coconut is excellent for improving overall bone health, lowering blood pressure,\u00a0and decreasing heart disease and stroke risk. The potassium in coconut can also help people with inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis and Crohn\u2019s disease, and of course, it\u2019s great to consume in order to reverse or prevent low potassium.<\/p>\n

BEACH FARM VEGAN YOGURT is slow fermented in small batches to ensure optimum quality. \u00a0They are packed in sterilised, reusable 200 ml glass jars, and labelled by hand.<\/p>\n
