Yesterday, I bought a bottle of kombucha with Chia Seeds. When I purchased it, I didn’t know a thing about kombucha or the possible benefits of drinking it. I was just drawn to the strange looking drink. I opened the lid to take a whiff and almost instantly capped it and stuck it in the fridge.
A few hours later curiosity over came me and I pulled it out to take a sip. The taste was different, but not unbearable. The texture with the chia seeds caught me off guard. I was unsure if they should be chewed or swallowed whole so I attempted an awkward chew/swallow combination. The drink went back into the fridge right away.
Then again after a few hours passed I found myself drawn back towards the fridge. I managed to drink half of it this time before putting it away, settling on swallowing the seeds whole.
I decided to set aside time to look up the benefits of kombucha, which came with a lot of bickering about the true facts of kombucha and while some claim it has been untested a simple Google search yields numerous lab tests that have shown kombucha may be beneficial, including this one about repairing damage caused by environmental pollutants.
For me, the kombucha represents further change in my life and my health. [click to continue…]
