The truth is that if you drink kombucha every day, your overall health will most likely improve. You're surely smiling as you read this if you're a Kombucha Lover.
I understand it's super important to be sure that what we put into our body will do us good, and also to know how often we should drink it. So if you're wondering how much kombucha is too much kombucha… good for you!
When you drink kombucha, you're technically consuming a living food. These days we're surrounded by processed and pasteurized products that don't carry as many nutrients for our body.
Now, don't worry about drinking a living drink — the only thing that can grow inside you after drinking it is your gut flora.
For kombucha to be kombucha, a fermentation process in the tea is needed, and that process is what gives the drink its probiotic properties. To achieve it you need a "SCOBY" — a what?! … SCOBY is an acronym for "symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast," meaning it's a colony of friendly bacteria and living yeast that break down the sugars in the tea and produce a ton of probiotics.
In short, drinking kombucha every day gives your body the probiotics it needs to work better.
Now, I know you can get your probiotics in many forms — you could take a daily pill, for example, and it would surely do your body a lot of good. But between us, what do you really prefer… a vitamin C pill, or eating an orange, a guava, or some broccoli? Whole, living, unprocessed foods will always give your body more — believe me!
If you drink kombucha every day, you not only get a daily dose of probiotics that help restore the natural balance of your gut bacteria and improve your digestion and metabolism — there's more… I know, not everything in life is probiotics, but at Bruja Sana Kombucha we love talking about them; they're so friendly, how could you not love them?
Some research suggests that drinking kombucha daily could help control blood sugar levels, reduce cholesterol, and support liver health.
On top of that, kombucha contains a significant amount of antioxidants — in fact, it contains even more antioxidants than unfermented green tea.
Antioxidants help prevent cellular damage and eliminate free radicals before they harm your body. For example, some bodily ailments, heart disease, and certain types of cancer are linked to high levels of free radicals in the body.
And lastly — because believe me, the list of kombucha benefits is long — if you're looking for something to swap your coffee for, or to reduce your daily caffeine intake, kombucha can be a good option. First, because quitting coffee is a challenge, let's be honest.
Kombucha will give you that midday boost, since it contains a small amount of caffeine from the tea it's made of; and although the fermentation process removes nearly two-thirds of it, it's enough to help you avoid the sudden crash.
Thanks for reading. May you be happy, may you be healthy, and may you be blessed.
