Making Kefir Beaufort Personal Training
“Hey! What’s going on? Welcome to the EarthFIT blog. It’s Ian Hart here and today I’m going to show you about Kefir, or how to make Kefir.
Kefir is a drink. It’s fermented milk and the word stands for “feel good” in Turkish and it goes way back – centuries and centuries ago. The origins were believed to be in the Caucasus Mountains and this was a secret drink and it was only made from Kefir grains – these specific grains; if you do not have the grains you can’t make the drink – and it was passed down from generation to generation and it was a secret within families. They thought the potency of the drink would be diminished if they let the secret out.
So I’m going to show you how to make a Kefir. It’s best with raw milk. Goat’s milk or sheep’s milk is the best. Today I’m using raw cow’s milk. Many people believe that raw milk is not good; it’s been stigmatized and that is not true. It’s actually way more beneficial and healthy for you. It lasts longer, I can keep this out of the fridge for day and a half, 2 days and still drink it and it builds up beneficial bacteria, which protects it from the bad bacteria; as opposed to pasteurized milk which not only have the nutrients been taken out of it through pasteurization but it can build bad bacteria very quickly… and it molds very quickly.
The benefits of Kefir are numerous and varied. They use it for TB (Tuberculosis), gastrointestinal issues, numerous things, it has so much benefit to it. Actually now they are doing studies on its antidepressant effects because it’s named Kefir makes you feel good. It actually makes you happy and it helps produce serotonin in the brain, which makes you feel better and happier. The grains are currently in this milk. Now the grains can go dormant; I left it in the refrigerator. When it’s in a cold environment the grains go dormant. You want to keep them out in about 76-85 degrees (Fahrenheit) temperature and that is where they tend to grow and they feed off the milk the most. So we have the grains in here, I am going to strain it out, pouring this into a bowl.
Okay, so let me give you a little close up there. So right now I’m not sure if you can see this properly but the grains are in this strainer and I’m going to transfer that into another clean container. So I’m taking these grains, then putting them back into a clean container. And then pouring more milk back into this container… and it depends on the grains (how much grains you have). You have to monitor how much milk you should put in and it depends. So I’ll let this sit now for 24 hours roughly and then I can go in and smell it. I’ll cover it with just a towel and a rubber band so air can get to it and The carbon can be released. I’ll smell it; if it has the sweet and sour “kefiry” smell then I know it’s ready and I will do the same thing again – I’ll strain out the Kefir and then prepared to drink. If it smells a little too yeasty which sometimes it can after it’s been in the refrigerator, I’ll exchange more milk in it and then it will grow into Kefir or I can pour more milk right into it and allow it to get that more of the Kefir taste.
So there you have it. I’m going to set this down for about 24 hours roughly depending on how long it takes based on the temperature and the amount of grains. And now this batch is ready for me to drink. So I’m going to pour it back in here and then take a sip and get the benefits of the Kefir.
So you might see my emails about good bacteria. Kefir is loaded with beneficial bacteria. It can have up to 56 strains of good bacteria. And today, many people in the US specifically are overridden with bad bacteria in their stomach, their guts even on the skin they have [bad] bacteria everywhere. And raw Kefir is one of the best ways to rebalance the good bacteria vs the bad bacteria and get the health benefits which are numerous and varied from this.
So if you are in the Beaufort area, I go to Sea Island Jersey to get my raw milk. You can also order online frozen cow milk or a goat’s milk from all over the US. There’s a place up in the Columbia, South Carolina where I get my goat’s milk from, but I prefer this is the best – this is grass fed. You want to get the grass fed, no antibiotics, healthy cows and you’re gonna get the best milk from that, which makes the best Kefir. There’s also the best benefit, best nutrients in the grass fed, healthy cow milk. So, this is Ian Hart from the EarthFit blog speaking about Kefir. If you have any questions or comments, go ahead and leave them below. You could also check out the Kefir lady. If you Google the Kefir lady, that is where I got my Kefir grains from. So I googled the Kefir lady, I sent her an email and she sent me a package of Kefir grains. You could only make Kefir if you have the Kefir grains so keep that in mind. Use raw milk and you’ll be good to go and go feel the benefits of it right away. The first time I drank raw Kefir, I felt good instantly.
So again, it’s Ian Hart and I hope you have a great day.”

Beaufort SC Personal Training: Diet and Nutrition
Most people aim to have a well-maintained body. But some of them for various reasons are not willing to do any physical activity, and just prefer to lessen their food intake by partaking in off-the-wall diet food programs. Yet there are numerous people who do not know how to implement proper diet and nutrition. The long and short of it is that eating starvation diet food recipes or crash cleanses to lose weight would only work if you remain consistent. And no one can consistently starve himself/herself or go on a life long cleanse. The kicker is that diets work best if you accompany it with Beaufort SC personal training or a physical activity.
Physical activity can come in the form of running, weight training or both. The EarthFIT Beaufort SC personal training programs offer Beaufort health and fitness programs including the right way to deal with diet food programs and plans. They will help you to understand how important eating the right food is in proper portions and the right timing for eating various foods; all this while keeping your body in great shape. No more yucky diet foods that lead you right off the wagon. The Beaufort SC personal training programs will teach you to how lose weight permanently without doing any cleanses, or taking pills, non-prescribed drugs or horrible diet foods. They have included appropriate ways cut or adjust meals, which will also give you ideas and tips on how to make new, tasty meals.

They will also give you tips and advice about healthy foods that you will enjoy eating without worrying that you will gain the weight back. But it all starts with you.
The EarthFIT team believes that spending time working out is great, but it is not enough to lose weight and keep it off, especially if you just work out to eat. That’s why EarthFIT clients don’t work out. They train. They train themselves on how to eat right without starvation diet food, as well as exercise properly using the proper form (a rare quality in Beaufort SC). Most gyms don’t care whether you achieve your fitness goals even if you’ve been a loyal patron for years, as long as you pay the bill. That is the main reason why EarthFIT, in Beaufort SC, encourages you to participate in their fitness program – it’s a great opportunity to start doing things right. One of the great parts about the EarthFIT program is that they will assess each participant before they begin. Every client is different and special, so why do some generic workout, or alternatively, starve on diet foods, and any other weight loss and diet food programs that don’t really work? It’s time to MAKE THE RIGHT MOVE. EarthFIT’s trainers are all capable of helping you reach your fitness goal, even if it was something that you thought impossible without the yucky diet foods.

Beaufort Health and Fitness: Importance of gut health
Hey EF Fam,
The last email should have gotten the message across about the importance of gut health. The great news about all this is that gut health can be improved fairly easily.
It comes down to diet and nutrition. Today’s foods are ladened with:
- Preservatives,
- Additives,
- GMO’s,
- Antibiotics,
- Gluten,
- Pesticides,
- Sugars and artificial sweeteners
- Sugar substitutes, and
- Other chemicals
that absolutely wreak havoc on not only gut health but our overall feeling and well-being.
Also, so many people are treated with medication that destroys gut health and only mask the symptoms of what the meds are supposed to be fixing.
To qoute Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, a Russian-trained neurologist with a medical practice in the UK:
“The trouble is that in our modern society, we live in a world where a growing proportion of the population damaged gut flora, because they have been exposed to repeated courses of antibiotics; women are taking contraceptive pills, which damage the gut flora quite profoundly, or any other prescriptive long-term medication. People are taking in toxic substances through their food and drink, and other… environmental influences damage the composition of their gut flora.
As a result, when they are exposed to mercury, lead, other toxic metals, or other toxic substances in the environment, their gut flora is unable to chelate it, and cannot remove it.
It floods into their bloodstream, and settles in the body. Unfortunately, toxic metals have a particular affinity for fatty tissues in the body, so they get stored in the brain, spine, and in the rest of the nervous system. They also target your bone marrow and the rest of the high fat organs in the body… Of course, when they’re stored in there, they would cause leukemia, lymphoma, other immune abnormalities, and other problems… “
Your gut health is directly connected with your mental well-being and mood. In fact probiotics are much more powerful anti-depressants than over-the-counter meds with no side effects. Your gut has been called the second brain…
Dr. Mcbride states,”In terms of Gut and Psychology Syndrome, we are talking about the functioning of the brain of the person,” Dr. McBride explains. “Any dysfunction of the brain is usually connected to what’s going on in the digestive system. In Gut and Physiology Syndrome, we’re talking about the functioning of the rest of the body. Hippocrates… made a statement that all diseases begin in the gut. The more we learn now with all our modern scientific tools, the more we realize just how correct he was.”
This brings me to my first solution:
Increase your probiotic intake. Pro-biotic means “for life”…
Probiotics stimulate the growth of good microbes. You will know your gut is out of balance when you intake pro-biotics for the first time and have a healing reaction like:
- diarrhea,
- cramps,
- gas, and
- bloating
This is because there is a war going on in your gut, the good vs the bad microbes and the healing process means you are purging the evils of bad microbes and allowing your body to restore balance and heal.
You can purchase probiotics at the store, but nothing will comes close to restoring your gut health better than organic raw fermented foods like:
- kim-chi
- sauerkraut
- kefir (coconut milk or raw grass fed milk)
- fermented soy (Miso or Tempeh)
- Kombucha
Secondly, we want to eliminate all the foods that promote and feed the bad bacteria like the ones listed above and then eat pre-boitics which are foods that stimulate good bacteria growth, like:
- Raw chicory root
- Raw Jerusalem artichoke
- Raw dandelion greens
- Raw garlic
- Raw leek
- Raw onion
- Cooked onion
- Raw banana
List taken from http://www.
Because rebalancing the gut flora is something that anyone and everyone can benefit from we are launching a 21-Day Detox program in the near future. Be on the look out for more info
shortly!
Committed to your health,
Ian
P.S. The 21 Day Detox will be offered to both current EFers and Non-EFers. If you know a non-EFer who may be interested in joining the 21 Day Detox, make sure they respond quickly as we are only opening a few spots since we only have a few spots left open for training total.

Health and fitness Beaufort: Exercise and Eat Fruits Regularly
Did you know that the obesity rate in America has tripled during the last 30 years? It goes without saying that health and fitness should be a priority in all our lives. Unfortunately for some, it doesn’t come as easy or naturally. If you want health and fitness in your life, then you need to start with the basics. Let’s start with your diet. Here’s a simple suggestion: Watch what you eat!
The foods that you eat will ultimately show on your body. So if your diet consists of fatty food such as burgers, pizza, desserts and fries, then don’t be surprised to experience tiredness all the time and eventually become overweight. In many cases, obesity sets in along with other associated and serious health risks. If you are serious about losing weight, then you need to make a lifestyle change. Here are tips that will help you to lose weight effectively.
Health and Fitness Beaufort in Your Diet
• Drink Fresh Juices Not Sodas – Soft drinks (sodas) have been linked to obesity, diabetes and even faster aging. But there have also been claims of kidney problems due to the phosphoric acid in sodas. Stay away from them! Yes, this includes diet sodas. To get a truckload of energy in the morning, start your day with a fresh glass of fresh fruit and vegetable juices. Certain vitamins and minerals are reduced or destroyed by heat so juicing raw, fresh (preferably organic) fruits and veggies help bring those essential nutrients to your body.
• Whip Up A Fruit Salad – Most health experts recommend that fruits should be taken on an empty stomach to bring out its potency inside the body (or at least 30 minutes after eating a meal). So during snack time, try to replace your donuts or bag of chips with a healthy serving of fruit salad. You can achieve health and fitness Beaufort in your diet as well as Beaufort weight loss just by making this quick and easy switch. Try blueberries, apples, oranges, strawberries and others.
** BONUS TIP: Drink lots of water. Among other things, water transports nutrients to the body’s tissues, maintains blood pressure for the proper cardiovascular functioning and flushes out toxins. Losing about 9-12% of your body’s water can be fatal. So drink up!
Health and Fitness Beaufort in Your Workout Regimens
• Exercise In Groups – Many health and fitness Beaufort experts recommend group exercise to make the workout routines more exciting and fun. Some individuals find it more motivating to perform their physical exercises when they are in a group. This allows weight watchers to focus on their goal in losing weight when they see other health enthusiasts enjoying their workout routines.
• Seek A Personal Trainer – If you prefer to get a more personalized workout routine then seek help from a Beaufort personal trainer. A great coach can offer you a training program that is formulated to get you to your goal from start to finish. They can not only help you with workout routines, but they can assist you with the right information in having the proper diet and nutrition that suits your needs.
Getting proper nutrition and the right amount – and intensity – of exercise is necessary for weight loss of people hoping to shed off those extra nagging pounds. Stay positive, and simply use these health and fitness Beaufort tips as guidelines in achieving a healthy body and lifestyle.

Beaufort Personal Trainers at EarthFit Training Facility
Struggling to lose weight? Hitting a plateau when you exercise?
Losing weight can be very challenging when one attempts this on their own. Exercising and getting healthy doesn’t have to be something you do by yourself. At EarthFit, the Beaufort Personal Trainers want to help you reach your goals and get in shape. The trainers offer guidance and support to their clientele. They have designed meal plans for their clients to follow while they train at EarthFIT to speed up weight loss and practice healthy eating. A healthy balanced diet is crucial to losing weight.
Dieting does not mean depriving yourself of all foods that you enjoy, it just means finding new foods to enjoy that are better for you. Fruits and vegetables are foods that are very beneficial for your body. That being said, you can eat much bigger quantities of fruits and vegetables than you could with potato chips, bagels, etc. Also, the fatty foods we “enjoy” so much end up giving us less energy and making our self esteem drop dramatically. Healthier foods are not only beneficial to your body, but they directly affect how you’re feeling and give you energy which makes you feel happier. We all know that awful feeling we get in the pit of our stomach when we eat something that is not good for us. Practicing a healthy balanced diet will eventually become a habit that will stick with you forever. Discipline.
The Beaufort Personal Trainers will ensure you never plateau in your workouts, it is your job to stay disciplined and stay focused. Fitness is very important to staying healthy which is why so many go to EarthFIT because they know that the trainers will keep them fit and healthy. Many are skeptical when joining gyms because every gym promises the same thing: weight loss. However, EarthFIT is a personal training facility and they guarantee their promises of helping you reach your goals. They are spoken highly of for that reason. Don’t let the fear of success keep you from succeeding.
“Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we often might win, by fearing to attempt.” – William Shakespeare
We asked a younger client of EarthFIT’s how the training is working for him, James responded, “In about one month I lost about 9lbs. and gained a lot of muscle, and I feel a lot faster, a lot stronger and a lot of my clothes are a lot loser than I wore and had to get rid to some of my clothes and get new clothes that fit me. The good thing here is that no matter what your level is that you can get better by coming here no matter if you’re really overweight or you’re pro athlete, no matter what you are you can get better by coming here. I was skeptical about the trainings, some of the things I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to do all the workouts and that maybe I wasn’t gonna work as well with the other ones or work a lot better I wasn’t sure what my results were going to be…Some of the specific goals I’ve achieved are that I’m a lot faster when I play tennis, I can get to a lot of balls before where I couldn’t and I also feel a lot stronger and I was like I can hit a lot harder and more consistently. I would recommend this to anybody that would want to work out. I’d say this is the best workout I’ve ever had.” The Beaufort Personal Trainers are committed to helping their clients reach their goals and maintain a healthy outlook on exercising and eating well. If you are tired of trying to lose weight on your own and are ready to see results, visit EarthFIT and get a jump start on changing your life.
