What is brewer’s yeast?

Brewer’s yeast is obtained during the manufacturing process from one of the world’s favorite drinks, but unlike  beer, it contains no alcohol. It is a by-product of barley decomposition, a dried version of the fungus known as  Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

It can be grown in a laboratory for use as a dietary supplement, but most types of brewer’s yeast are extracted from the remnants of the brewing process.

Before it reaches the shelves of your health food store, brewer’s yeast is purified to remove bitter taste and that process deprives it of some of its more useful ingredients, which means the  quality is a bit lower than if it was made fresh in the beer brewing process.

This is why it is a better idea to buy the live yeast that has not undergone any refining or “improvement” process (which may actually make it worse for you).

There are two types of brewer’s yeast:  the bitter and the non-bitter variety, in terms of its manufacture. Bitter yeast contains more nutrients than the non-bitter kind, for the reasons that have been explained above.

Take advantage of brewer’s yeast for weight loss

It is recommended to consume 20 to 30 grams of brewer’s yeast a day. This protein supplement, which can be found in health food stores, is used by many people who try slim  diets.

Be careful when buying brewer’s yeast. Some stores sell three varieties, or flavors: natural, apple, and cheese. Your preference will depend on whether you want to eat it with sweet or salty foods. You can mix it with any food whose nutritional value you want to enrich (ie increase its benefits).

Brewer’s yeast is usually consumed with:

• Milk
• Yogurt
• Juice
• Smoothies
• Cereal
• Vegetables
• Pasta
• Salads
• Pastries
• Desserts
• Tar
• Meat
• Hamburgers

As you can see, brewer ‘s  yeast is a very versatile product.

Tips for the brewer’s yeast cure

• Be sure to buy only live, bitter yeast, and avoid anything that has gone through a chemical cleansing process that may remove some of the most beneficial nutrients.
• Add it to your fruit and vegetable smoothies to whet your appetite.
• Buy yeast flakes to add to certain recipes (salads or even desserts, according to your diet). Just a small teaspoon adds protein and vitamins without fat.
• Start your mornings by drinking brewer’s yeast dissolved in warm water and a little lemon juice. Do this on an empty stomach for two weeks in a row, and wait half an hour before eating breakfast.

• When you are hungry, do not rage your refrigerator. A better idea is to sprinkle some yeast on some raw vegetables like cucumbers or carrots.

• Add yeast to your lunch salad or a hamburger. With just a little bit you will feel more satiated and you will get the energy you need for the whole day.
• Use live brewer’s yeast in flakes or dried form three times a day (about 10 grams at a time) for at least a month to achieve the best results.
• Do not forget to read the instructions on the package so that you know the recommended amounts to be added to each food.
• Be sure to lead a healthy lifestyle. Adding brewer’s yeast to your diet is not enough – you need to get exercise two or three times a week, drink two liters of water every day, and avoid certain foods that are fried or contain refined sugar and flour. This will help you to achieve the best results and in less time.
