Kombucha. The healthy drink that has been around for 2000 years. And here is why.

Yesterday I was told about Kombucha. Kombucha is a sugary sweet tea and yeast that is fermented. A specific type of yeast! And is said to be good for a variety of illnesses. And ailments. You can make your own or you can buy it. The choice is yours. 

Some of the people that use it claim that it helps to boost your immune system, helps your body to get rid of toxins, also others say it can prevent cancer, heart disease and high blood pressure. It is also ideal to use if you want to lose weight. It can even increase your energy levels. But we will continue this part later on in this article.

Scientific viewpoint

From a scientific point of view. There is no proof that it actually does any of the healthy things mentioned earlier. However no one can deny it is ideal for gut health. So if you do have any of the conditions I named earlier. You will still have to consider a healthy lifestyle change. And not just rely on Kombucha to fix any situation. 

Making your own Kombucha at home

Health benefits that is real

As as it is filled with probiotics, has loads of vitamin b contains caffeine and limited amount of sugar. It can be accepted that it does have wonderful benefits to consider. 

If you want to make Kombucha at home. Take note

But if you consider making your own Kombucha you must know hygiene is extremely important. Your bottle or bottles must be clean. Your hands should be clean. The advice from the FDA is. Make sure everything is sanitary. That means any equipment used to make Kombucha and your hands too. Also mentioned by the FDA. Only then will it be safe to make your own Kombucha. Use glass, stainless steel or plastic containers for your home made Kombucha. Personally I think glass would be best. But that is my personal opinion. 

The important part you also have to know. 

There was at least one fatality from the use of Kombucha. Misusing it can cause liver issues, nausea, lactic acidosis (caused by too much lactic acid) and even allergic reactions. So if you consider making this. Then keeping everything sanitary clean is extremely important as you can see. Drinking this mixture 3 times a day is considered a safe amount. That means no more than 240 ml 3 times a day. No more!! 

So lets sum up some of the benefits of Kombucha

• Great source of (good bacteria) Probiotics. 
• Great for gut health

• May even be considered as healthy as green tea. 
• And we all know how good green tea is for health.

• Filled with anti oxidants.
• We all know the importance of antioxidants for a healthy lifestyle.

• Kombucha can kill bad bacteria
• Because Kombucha contains acetic acid it has the ability to kill bad bacteria and micro organisms

• As mentioned in the beginning it has the potential to decrease the risk of heart disease
• It can make a significant healthy change with the (bad) LDL and (good) HDL cholesterol levels in as little as a month 

• It can help you manage diabetes

• It can help prevent cancer.
• Because it has anti cancer properties. Because it contains high amounts of ani-oxidants and tea polyphenols.

Making your own Scoby for Kombucha at home

Eliminating the bad stuff

This diet is all about removing the unhealthy foods. That means no junk food, no fast foods, no processed foods, no artificial chemicals that means no artificial sweeteners. No artificial colorants. No artificial flavors. No artificial preservatives. No sugar. No to white flour also. No foods that has too much salt. No meats, that includes fish beef and poultry. No dairy products. Watching calorie intake too and no foods that has saturated fats. 

More of the good foods

Instead consider fruits and vegetables as it doesnt have a high calorie amount and is full of nutrients. Yes that means all fruits and vegetables are approved. Other foods you can think of is whole grains, seeds, nuts. Healthier oils such as olive, canola, peanut and sesame oil. All whole grains are approved in this diet. Consider vegan diet foods as meal ideas.

Canned foods that doesnt have no sugars or preservatives can be added. Do remember the Daniel diet is about no meats too.  But as you are restricted from eating meat during this time it means you must find your proteins elsewhere. So it is good to think about adding beans nuts and seeds to your diet.Which is why I suggest vegan recipe ideas for a 21 day weight loss plan. Dont stick to one certain fruit or vegetable. It is about eating different fruits and vegetables as it has so many different nutrients. 

What you can drink 

Only fluids that you can drink is water. Yes it means no coffee tea, even herbal teas. Just pure water is approved. It also means no sodas or juice. Even if it says 100 pure juice. Not surprising if you consider the benefits of water. You can read about the benefits of water here. 

Always check your labels as the idea is cleansing your body of toxins. So do take the time to read and check if there is preservatives or sugar added. This has shown to be a healthy and successful change for weight loss. As well as improving overall wellbeing. But no doubts it will take will power and commitment to staying focused.

Heart health changes that should be implemented daily

Today I am going to write about something that is very serious. And it affects everyone if it is ignored. Your heart. I am not thinking of your feelings or your love for someone. But about heart health. It does affect everyone especially if we don't choose a healthy lifestyle.

So what would be considered a heart healthy lifestyle then? You know the basics probably. Eat right, be active by exercising and consider a more stress free lifestyle. But when we talk of eating right. What exactly does that imply? The do's and the don'ts. Everyone has an opinion of what is right. Eat this don't eat that. 

First thing you have to acknowledge if you are not eating for the benefit of your heart, that there is a huge change needed. By taking these steps you should find the benefit of a heart healthy lifestyle. If you don't do that today it will affect your health later on.

Portion size.

The amount of food you eat is just as serious as what you out in your mouth. By overeating you end up with more calories than you should probably be consuming.  So for best advice it is wise to use a small plate when you want to control your portions. Eat more low calorie foods that is full of nutrients and less foods that is full of high calories and foods that is high in sodium. Fast foods are very guilty of this. Just by following this you should see a change in your waist as well as your heart health.

Fruits and vegetables.

These foods are full of good nutrients and is a great source of vitamins and minerals. Also god to consider because it doesn't have too much calories and is a source of dietary fibre. Some fruits and vegetables can actually help to prevent cardiovascular disease. Also if you consider more fruits and vegetables you will find that you eat less foods such as meat unhealthy snacks and cheese.

Whole grains.

How important would you think whole grain is for heart health? Answer very important as it plays a major role in regulating your blood pressure which in turn helps to improve heart health. Just by changing the whole grains by leaving the refined products. Consider whole wheat, whole grain and high fibre products. 

Fats

It is very important to limit unhealthy fats. So what is considered unhealthy fats? Saturated fats and trans fatty acids. To help control cholesterol and to lower your chance of developing coronary heart disease it is important to remember this. If your cholesterol levels are high it starts to build up in your arteries and you can have a stroke or a heart attack as a result.  So how do you limit these bad fats? By limiting your intake of butter margarine or shortening. Even when cooking it is important to limit these fats.  By trimming fat or even better choose lean meats. Also good to check the fat content on snacks as many of these snacks like chips cookies and crackers contents fatty acids. Even when it says reduced fats. The word to look for is hydrogenated fat or even partially hydrogenated.

The safer options is called monounsaturated fats. Like Canola oil or Olive oil.

Then there is polyunsaturated fats which can actually help to lower your cholesterol levels. Certain types of fish, nuts seeds and avocados is considered heart health choices. But even here it is important to remember to limit these fats too as all fats are full of calories. A wise choice would be to add flaxseed as it is high in fibre and rich in omega three fatty acids. This does help to lower cholesterol levels  

Low fat protein

Low fat dairy, eggs, lean meat, poultry and fish are considered the best protein sources. But again it is suggested that you must consider exactly what you eat. Skim milk vs. full cream milk. Skinless chicken vs. fried chicken. Always go for the option that contains less fat.

Fish that is good to consider as it is high in omega 3 fatty acids is salmon, mackerel, and herring.

As mentioned before flaxseeds is great but also a good source of protein. Then there is walnuts, soybeans and canola oil. Beans peas and lentils is a wonderful choice as it has no cholesterol and less fat.  

Sodium

Sodium also known as salt increases your chance of developing high blood pressure which in turn can become a high risk for cardiovascular disease. You can consider salt substitutes. If you eat processed foods you have to realize that the processed foods are high in salt. If you prefer easier and convenience foods check for sodium reduced.  

These changes can make a huge difference. We live in a world of convenience. And we don't take note of how good it is for our heart. I really hope this article will help to change peoples lives for the better.
