True Superfoods Pt. IV

Kombucha "Tea" - The Kombucha Culture, sometimes mistakenly referred to as a mushroom, is a symbiotic, probiotic colony of yeast and bacteria (the friendly type). This superfood beverage contains dozens of health promoting elements. The numerous improvements in overall health may include: increased energy, sharpened eyesight, tightened & toned skin, eczema & psoriasis relief, reduced menstrual cramps, better sleep, easier digestion, controlled candida overgrowth, normalized blood pressure, easier post work-out recovery, reduced acid reflux & joint pain, a feeling of calm, increased sex drive, helping to prevent bladder infections, healthier hair, detoxifying the body and shrinking boils. Aside from it’s many health benefits, Kombucha is an inexpensive way to help to re-colonize Bifid bacterium in the colon where they produce both acetic and lactic acids. This helps normalize intestinal flora and restricts or prohibits the growth of putrefactive bacteria and potential pathogens such as Candida Albicans. The balance of intestinal flora is affected by many factors: age, sex, diet, stress, exogenous microorganisms, surgeries, immune disorders, antibiotic therapy, and upper GI disorders. You can purchase ready to drink Kombucha Tea by the bottle at the health food store in several refreshing flavors. A cost effective alternative is to make it yourself by combining the Kombucha culture, with a mixture of black tea, and sugar. The ingredients are allowed to "ferment", usually for 10 days. If you’d like to join the millions of people who use Kombucha daily, as a refreshing beverage and a useful health care supplement purchase a starter kit at www.kombubha.org. The 2 cultures included in your kit will reproduce on and on for you.
