7 Kombucha Health Benefits

In research published in the Journal of Medicinal Food 2014, researchers from the University of Latvia say the following about the health benefits of kombucha: It is shown that [kombucha] can efficiently act in health preservation and recovery due to four main properties: detoxification, anti-oxidation, energizing potencies, and promotion of boosting immunity.

  

1. Detoxification

• The detoxifying capacity of kombucha is immense. A perfect example is in its ability to counteract liver cell toxicity.
• In one study, the liver cells were protected from oxidative injury and actually maintained their normal physiology, in spite of being exposed to a toxin! According to researchers, this was “probably due to its antioxidant activity and could be beneficial against liver diseases, where oxidative stress is known to play a crucial role.”

2. Digestion

• Naturally, the antioxidant prowess of this ancient tea counteracts free radicals that create mayhem in the digestive system. However, the greatest reason kombucha supports digestion is because of its high levels of beneficial acid, probiotics, and enzymes.
• Some research has shown kombucha’s ability to prevent and heal leaky gut and stomach ulcers. No surprise to us, in some instances it’s even proven to be as effective as drugs like Prilosec, which are commonly prescribed for heartburn, GERD, and ulcers.
• Kombucha can also help heal candida yeast from overpopulating within the gut because it helps restore balance to the digestive system. Kombucha is a great way to fight candida because it contains live probiotic cultures that help the gut to repopulate with good bacteria while crowding out the candida yeast. Kombucha does have bacteria, but these are not harmful pathogen bacteria, instead, they are the beneficial kind (called “apathogens”) that compete with “bad” pathogen bacteria in the gut and digestive tract.
• One thing to mention here is that candida or other digestive problems can sometimes be complicated issues to fix and symptoms might actually get worse before getting better. This doesn’t mean that kombucha isn’t effective or is exacerbating the problem, just that gut problems aren’t always a straight path to healing and at times some patience or trial and error is needed.

3. Energy

• Kombucha’s ability to invigorate people is credited to the formation of iron that is released from the black tea during the fermentation process. It also contains some caffeine (although in very small amounts) and b-vitamins, which can energize the body.
• Through a special process known as chelation, the iron released helps boost blood hemoglobin, improving oxygen supply to tissues and stimulating the energy-producing process at the cellular level. In other words, by helping the body create more energy (ATP), the ancient tea can help those who regularly drink it stay energized.

4. Immune Health

• The overall effect that kombucha has to modulate the immune system is best seen in its ability to control free radicals through antioxidant measures.
•  Clinically proven to decrease oxidative stress and related immuno-suppression, a powerful antioxidant known as D-saccharic acid-1, 4-lactone (DSL) was discovered during the kombucha fermentation process that’s not found in black tea alone.
• Scientists suspect that DSL and the vitamin C present in kombucha are its main secrets in protecting against cell damage, inflammatory diseases, tumors and overall depression of the immune system. Also, we know the probiotics found in kombucha support the immune system.

5. Joint Care

• Kombucha can help heal, repair and prevent joint damage in a number of ways. Kombucha is loaded with glucosamines, which increase synovial hyaluronic acid production. This supports the preservation of collagen and prevents arthritic pain. In the same way, it supports joint collagen, it also supports collagen of the entire body and reduces the appearance of wrinkles on the skin.

6. Cancer Prevention

• Kombucha is also beneficial for cancer prevention and recovery. A study published in Cancer Letters found that consuming glucaric acid found in kombucha reduced the risk of cancer in humans.
• President Reagan even reportedly drank kombucha daily as part of his regimen to battle stomach cancer.

7. Weight Loss

• Data from a study in 2005 showed evidence that Kombucha improves metabolism and limits fat accumulation. Though we need to see more studies before we can confirm these results, it makes sense that kombucha supports weight loss since it’s high in acetic acid (just like apple cider vinegar is) and polyphenols, which are proven to help increase weight loss.

Monday Motivation

Good morning. Grace and peace be unto you!

Passion is defined as a strong barely controlled emotion. What are you passionate about? What gets you excited?

Passion is the juice that many run on while waiting for all of the perverbial ducks to get in a row. It must be taken in every single day. It is the adrenaline that feeds our bodies to push when our mind is saying we are tired.

Passion is the thing that wakes us up before the alarm clock and keeps the midnight oils burning. PASSION
Do you have it?

Like a cold drink of water on a hot summers day...passion. Do you have it? You bettah get it. What gets you up in the morning and delights your very heart? That is your passion.

Good morning. Grace and peace be unto you! 

A few random thoughts from what I've read or heard this week.

Write down your 2 major life goals.

Put them where you can see them. 

Filter everything through those.

Your team/church/organization is only as strong as its weakest member. You might want to find out what their problem is. 

The reason why many people are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves.

Wednesday Word

Good morning
Grace and peace be unto you.
In our society of hypersexuality we have lost the real meaning of love.
Yes,  it can be sexual but that is only one small piece of love.

1 Corinthians 13 tells a little more about love.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

So if the "love" that you are getting is disrespectful, unkind, boastful, rejoices when you are hurting, and doesn't protect your physical, mental, and financial well-being, that is NOT love.

The world is crazy all on its own, we need to make sure that our protected environments feed our beings so they we can walk out with  super woman on our chest.
