Our grandmothers swore by it – and today natural medicine is returning to it. We are talking about a yeast drink that is made from fresh yeast and can literally work wonders. Not only does it cleanse the intestines like a broom, but it also helps improve the quality of hair, nails and skin. You will also appreciate it when losing weight or during periods of physical and mental exhaustion.
What exactly are yeast and why are they so effective?
Yeast, also known as yeast, are not just an ordinary baking ingredient. In fact, they are living microorganisms, specifically the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which belong to single-celled fungi. They are found both in fresh yeast and in dried form, with both variants containing similar amounts of active cultures.
In addition to regular yeast, there are also brewer’s yeasts, which are less active but still full of beneficial substances. And it is in their composition that the secret of their beneficial effects is hidden.
Yeast drink: prevention of obesity, slowing aging and supporting digestion
Already in ancient times Hippocrates recommended a yeast drink for its cleansing and strengthening effects. Today we know that yeast are a rich source of B vitamins, which support the nervous system, and also minerals such as zinc, iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, chromium and selenium.

Special attention should be paid to chromium, which helps stabilize blood sugar levels and contributes to the prevention of overweight and obesity. It also supports proper metabolic function and can accelerate fat burning.
How to prepare a medicinal yeast drink?
Ingredients:
