I started drinking Kombucha around 2 years ago & was really impressed with the results.
The drink actually comes from the ancient Chinese, originally being called the "Immortal Health Elixir" ..And we know how much I love a good Elixir! It has actually been around for more than 2000 years, but only of late does it seem to becoming more common and easily accessible.
Kombucha is made from a bacteria/yeast culture.. Also known as a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) Along with this SCOBY the drink contains organic acids, active enzymes, & amino acids which are amazing for our immunity & gut health. This makes it amazing for detoxifying & balancing the body.
Gut health is originally the reason I purchased my first bottle of Kombucha. As someone who is gluten intolerant, I have always have gut issues for as long as I can remember. Gut health can have a major effect on our overall health & wellbeing, both physical & mental. Having poor gut health can affect your immunity & your nervous system among other things. As an anxiety sufferer myself I can definitely say when focusing on my gut health I can see a very positive change in my mind.
I purchase mine from my local health food stores, with the two main brands being Mojo & Buchi. Buchi is definitely my pick - I actually really enjoy the taste & could definitely drink a little too much if I let myself.. although I don't think there really could ever be too much Kombucha.
I definitely feel like I function better & clearer when I am drinking Kombucha.. placebo effect maybe but regardless I won't be stopping anytime soon.
Do you have any 'weird' health addictions?
