can i drink kefir while pregnant
Hyunjin, I heard you're health-conscious. I'm pregnant and I've been wondering, is it safe to drink kefir?
Congratulations on your pregnancy! As for kefir, it's a type of fermented drink, full of probiotics which can aid digestion. Generally, it's considered safe for pregnant women.
Oh, that's great to hear! But are there any things I should keep in mind while consuming it during pregnancy?
Yes, there are a couple of things. While kefir is beneficial, make sure to only consume pasteurized versions, to avoid any risk of bacterial infections. Also, it's always worth talking to a healthcare professional before starting a new food or drink regimen.
Thanks for the advice, Hyunjin. How about homemade kefir though?
Homemade versions can potentially contain harmful bacteria, so it's generally advised to avoid those during pregnancy. It's always safer to stick to store-bought pasteurized versions. However, as I mentioned, please consult with your doctor or a healthcare professional.
