Many of us are familiar with that run-down feeling during the winter months in the northern hemisphere. Why is that so?
- Our immune systems are sluggish due to lack of natural Vitamin D
- There’s less sunlight, which means we don’t get as much Vitamin D-related natural energy
- We feel more drained by being exposed to so many hours of darkness
- We tend to stay indoors more, and suffer the loss of fresh, non-recycled air
- We become more prone to illness due to confinement and congregation with others
- We don’t sleep as much and tend to make unhealthy food choices
This tea will help you with the winter blahs
Kombucha Tea: “The Immortal Health Elixir”
That’s what the Chinese have called this tasty beverage for over 2,000 years. It’s a tea that’s been fermented by a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast. You can make this wonderful brew yourself, or purchase it already made and ready to go.
Here are some of the health benefits:
- A natural detoxifier
- Contains glucosamines, which increase synovial hyaluronic acid production in the body, which in turn preserves joint cartilage
- Decreases the pancreatic load and eases the burden on the liver
- Helps with mental clarity and mood swings
- Improves digestion due to the high probiotic levels
- Prevents arthritic pain
- Prevents degenerative disease
- Prevents yeast overgrowth
- Rich in enzyme and bacterial acids
- Rich in antioxidants
