I'm sold. I actually battled a yeast infection for a long time and it was improved dramatically when I added milk kefir to my diet (and I had been making my own yogurt before that). I’m sold.

Cooking it would diminish some of it's healthy properties, but from what I understand as long as it's not heated then you can mix it in with things or do whatever you want with it. I definitely would recommend trying it. As for the blog request - I'm actually working on a yoga routine right now that I am planning on posting sometime later this week. I'm starting to lead a few women in classes again once a week and so I'll be trying to post our routines each week as we do them. I don't have that much experience with yoga for chronic pain, but I would maybe recommend restorative yoga - in restorative yoga you use a lot of props to support your body and often stay in relaxed supported poses for long periods of time. Anyway, it can be very relaxing and help to relieve muscle tension and pain. Many people love it. However I will say that the one time I did restorative yoga it felt very emotionally vulnerable for me and I ended up fighting back tears the whole time. But, still might be worth looking into.

Can it be mixed with something like a smoothie like your mom use to make fruit smoothies with yogurt or would that deplete the qualities of it? Also putting in a request for a blog post... yoga! I have been starting to get interested in it and feel like my body needs constant stretching cause of the severe pain plus the meditation is soothing and grounding and I need that. Do you have any specific yoga for chronic pain or have an idea that would be good for that, or even a yoga starters guide... =) thanks cuz! kiss that sweet baby for me, miss you!
