Kombucha is easily found in the refrigerated beverage section of health food stores. Having been around for some 2,000 years, it certainly has longevity. Kombucha is a live drink. It is created through a process that combines yeast and a bacterial culture, which is why you might want to buy it, instead of making your own. Here is a link for more information about the fermented beverage.
The FDA has not studied the drink.
I find that it helps digestion and increases energy.
My favorite brand is Synergy and my second favorite is the Kombucha Wonder Drink. I’m not sure if you can be neutral about the beverage. It has a sharp, tangy, pucker your taste buds kind of taste. Be careful if you shake the bottle, you’ll have fizz everywhere.
According to a survey done at Get Kombucha the top benefits of a daily drink of Kombucha are:
+ Prevents Acid Reflux
+ Assists With Weight Loss
+ Aids in Digestion of Heavy Meals
+ Strengthens Hair, Restores Hair
+ More Energy in the Morning
+ Helps With Sleep
+ Relieves Constipation
+ Post Work Out Recovery Drink (Cardiovascular and Resistance Training)
+ Reduces Severity of Hangovers
+ Better Skin Complexion, Tighter Skin Tone
Ingesting fermented food may benefit those who suffer from candidiasis (yeast). Adequate B12 may be difficult to obtain in a vegetarian diet and this is another benefit of fermented food in the diet.
Very interesting. My dad had acid reflux and it evolved into esophegeal cancer. I’m looking for something to alleviate or get rid of my own acid reflux so the same thing doesn’t happen to me. Thanks for the info. I’ll be keeping my eyes open for it.
I’m so sure I like the idea of reliving constipation though! LOL. (Look at the typo you made above. Pretty funny. You did that on purpose didn’t you?
