Yeast beer, what is it?
The yeast of beer, Saccharomyces cerevisiae of its real name (less speaking, certainly), is a small miracle for the human body. Physically, brewer's yeast is a compound of small microscopic fungi destroyed by drying at high temperatures. We agree, said like that, it does not give much envy. And yet! As in a real fairy tale, going beyond appearances, one realizes that the brewer's yeast is stuffed with healthy virtues.
There are two types of yeasts: active yeast and inactive yeast.
- The so-called active yeast , composed of probiotics and described as "living", was dehydrated at a very low temperature. In addition to its nutritional benefits, active yeast eliminates toxins and protects and regenerates the intestinal flora . However, it is not recommended for immunocompromised persons or under chemotherapy.
- Heated at high temperature, the inactive yeast is therefore without probiotics. This does not prevent him from retaining his nutritional virtues. Recommended for skin and nails , it is not for people prone to intestinal inflammation.
Be careful though: whatever its form, yeast is not recommended for people with gluten intolerance.
