Cucumber and yogurt: useful properties

The most important property of kefir is an easy laxative effect and the ability to restore the intestinal microflora. Kefir produces a kind of internal cleansing of the body, which allows you to lose weight in front of your eyes. In addition, kefir is effective in controlling slags, and a clean organism always has a faster metabolism.

In addition, kefir is rich in proteins, and the diet on such components will be relatively balanced and not too stressful for the body.

Cucumbers, for their part, have an easy diuretic effect, which occurs due to the large amount of liquid contained in them. Thus, the body is thoroughly cleansed, which in itself is incredibly useful.

Cucumbers with kefir for weight loss are useful in that they have low caloric content. For example, 1% kefir - only 36 calories per 100 grams, and in cucumbers - only 15 calories per 100 grams. Thus, even eating a whole kilogram of cucumbers a day and drinking a liter of kefir, your body receives only 360 + 150 = 510 calories! Taking into account that during the diet you will not be hungry, weight loss will be very effective. It is also pleasant that the products can be eaten individually or together, making a cold soup made of yogurt and cucumber, reminiscent of okroshka.
