Why Probiotics?
Probiotics: it’s a buzzword that has been around for a while now, but what are they and why are they so important?
Probiotics are essentially a type of bacteria that lives in your gut. It is found in fermented foods such as saurkraut, kefir, yogurt, kimchi, sourdough, tempeh, and of course- kombucha.
The reason we (and our bodies) love probiotic foods so much is that it aids in our overall gut health- which essentially helps our bodies break down food and process nutrients. But if the amount of good bacteria and bad bacteria is out of balance; our bodies can struggle to process foods and nutrients how they’re meant to (leaky gut) which can leave you experiencing:
sleepiness, brain fog, body composition changes, digestion issues, and more. We’re not saying that probiotics in your life will fix everything and make you the pinnacle of health...but it can help!
You can sip on probiotics in our kombucha drink and also enjoy in a sweeter way with our sparkling probiotic.
There are also other factors to consider when keeping up with your overall gut health:
𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐡𝐲𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐞: enjoy your food, prepare fresh and natural food sources, make sure you’re chewing thoroughly
𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬: try to manage your stress and also focus on getting enough sleep throughout the week- disruptions in routine can also be hard on your gut.
𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲: be mindful of your fitness - try to stay active but know when to turn things up or dial them back.
The bottom line: you can receive the benefits of probiotics through fermented foods and other naturally-occurring processes. If you are looking to increase your overall gut health, you can supplement with additional products such as kombucha or probiotic products.
