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.
