What is Kombucha?

It’s a fizzy, sweet-and-sour fermented tea made of yeast and bacteria. The acids found in the drink help balance out their pH level, anywhere from 4 to 8+; this depends on how much sugar is added in making it! Kombucha is also called Kombucha mushroom tea because it contains a colony of bacteria and yeast. Kombucha also contains vinegar, Vitamin B, and several other chemical compounds. Not only does this elixir contain vitamins B2 & B12 and vinegar, but numerous other chemical compounds too mysterious for us mere humans, at least until now…

According to the experts, Kombucha has been in existence used for nearly 2,000 years and China was the first country that started brewing Kombucha before Japan and Russia. In the late 20^th Century, in an attempt by many people who are now sick with high blood pressure started drinking Kombucha because; they believe it to be a healthy energy drink instead-a reputation still holds today! The proper sale of Kombucha started in the USA at the start of the 21^st Century with a reputation of a healthy energy drink.

What is the procedure of making Kombucha?

You can make your kombucha at home with just three ingredients: black tea, sugar, and bacteria/yeast. You will need black or green teas for this recipe depending on what flavor you want in the finished product – I used plain old white since my tastes aren’t very sophisticated! The mixture is set aside to brew until it’s ready (usually about one week). Then all that needs to be done before drinking up these powerful antioxidants are store them into bubbles by adding more sauce every 24 hours while keeping an eye out, so they do not over-ferment.

During the fermentation process, bacteria combine with acids produced in the mixture to form a film on top called a SCOBY (Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast). You will extract this microbe-rich SCOBY out, and your Kombucha is ready. This SCOBY can also be used for the fermentation of more Kombucha beverage.

Why Should You be Drinking Kombucha?

Drinking Kombucha can be highly beneficial for your health because it has a wide range of health and therapeutic benefits. According to the experts, Kombucha is one of the healthiest drinks that have been consumed for thousands of years. Today there are many different flavors from which you could choose, so try them all!

The list below briefly discusses some major advantages connected with drinking Kombucha:  -fermentation process produces enzymes necessary for digestion; these acids also help balance pH levels on mucous membranes throughout our bodies (especially respiratory tract); furthermore, by drawing toxins out through urine, they protect us against several diseases such as cancer. We will discuss some major health benefits of Kombucha here.

What are the Health Benefits of Drinking Kombucha?

Following are some top research-proven health benefits of Kombucha:

·         A Potential and Natural Source of Probiotics

As we have mentioned earlier, specific strains of yeast and bacteria help make Kombucha. The process starts by culturing bakers’ yeasts on sugar water until they form small bubbles which look like tiny strings hanging in midair – these are called “professional brewers.” Some lactic-acid bacteria are also present in the SCOBY layer that are responsible for the probiotic function of Kombucha. These Probiotics are beneficial in restoring healthy bacterial growth in the gut. They are also involved in improving the digestion process, reducing inflammation, and promoting weight loss.

·         Powerful Antioxidants

What would you say if I told you that in addition to being a great source for gut bacteria, Kombucha is also packed with powerful antioxidants? Kombucha is rich in powerful antioxidants that can alleviate inflammation in almost all body parts. Due to a high concentration of antioxidant species, Kombucha can help your body fight against free radicles and reactive molecules that can cause damage to your body cells.

Many experts believe that this tea is better than any supplement for fighting aging signs because it contains green and black teas and various healthful properties. When made with green tea, Kombucha helps promote the healthy functioning of your liver. As we all know, drinking alcohol may lead us into a state where our thoughts become confused, but what many people don’t realize (or should) is how much more cognitively demanding beer & wine relate to other drinks such as coffee or even water! So next time you’re feeling tired after work, try making yourself some refreshing “tea” instead: not only will it help rehydrate you, it will also glow your skin.

·         Kombucha can eliminate harmful bacteria from your body

Acetic Acid (Vinegar) is one of the compounds produced due to the fermentation of Kombucha. It can kill many strains of bacteria that are potentially harmful to the body. Acetic Acid works just like polyphenols in tea.

There’s a reason why Kombucha has been around for centuries. Kombucha that is made of green or black tea, has reported stronger antibacterial activity. It is effective, particularly against infection-causing bacterial strains. It is an ancient drink that can help with everything from digestion to brain function and mood stability, but one of its best qualities is that; the antimicrobial properties in this fermented tea kill harmful bacteria!

You might be thinking that if Kombucha can kill harmful bacteria, it may affect the beneficial bacteria, but that’s not the case. The antimicrobial effects of Kombucha are just for harmful bacterial. They don’t affect probiotics or beneficial bacteria.

·         Kombucha may reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases

According to health experts, cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The studies have shown that Kombucha can reduce the risk of heart diseases by affecting the two heart disease markers: “good” HDL cholesterol and “bad” LDL cholesterol. The good news is that there are many ways to reduce your chances of developing heart disease.

Many people believe that this will lead to prevention and treatment for people suffering from cardiovascular conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure, both factors associated with an increased risk of developing these illnesses.

More importantly, a research study has reported that Kombucha made of green tea can prevent LDL cholesterol oxidation to avoid heart diseases. Kombucha made with green tea can reduce the risk of heart diseases by 31%.

·         Helpful in the management of Type 2 Diabetes

The research studies revealed that Kombucha has a natural capability to slow down the digestion of carbohydrates, due to which it involves the lowering down of blood sugar levels. When the blood sugar levels are lower, it becomes easy to manage Type 2 Diabetes.

Kombucha made with green tea is more beneficial for reducing blood sugar levels. Several human studies are ongoing to investigate the use of Kombucha to control blood sugar levels.

·         Strong Anti-Cancer Properties

A group of test-tube research studies has reported strong anti-cancerous properties of Kombucha, due to which it can prevent the spread and growth of cancerous cells in the body. This health benefit of Kombucha may be due to the high concentration of tea polyphenols. As we mentioned earlier, Kombucha is rich in antioxidants that can reduce the growth of cancerous cells.

Final Words

Kombucha is an antioxidant and probiotic-rich natural drink with a wide range of health benefits, due to which it is worth drinking. It is available in the market in prepared form. However, you can also make it in your home by purchasing just three ingredients, including tea, sugar, and yeast/bacteria. Make it with green or black tea if you want to get the maximum out of Kombucha. Green tea is rich in powerful antioxidants that can help the body reduce inflammation and the growth of cancerous cells.

Thank You Very Much!
