It's Hot, Have A Cup Of Kombucha! Dietitian Recommends "healthy Drinks For Weight Loss" To Reduce Fat, Prevent Constipation, And Drive Away Bad Moods

Kombucha has created a trend in Europe and the United States in recent years, and this dazzling wind has also quietly blown to Taiwan. What are the benefits of drinking kombucha?

Kombucha is a fermented beverage made from sugar, tea, and mother kombucha (SCOBY), which is fermented by the symbiotic bacteria of yeast, lactic acid bacteria, and acetic acid bacteria. During the fermentation process, the symbiotic bacteria will use sugar and tea as nutrients to ferment, producing carbon dioxide, alcohol, acetic acid, nutrients and other substances, so that kombucha has both the fragrant tea flavor and the sweet and sour flavor of fermented beverages.

Different processes, raw materials and strains will affect the final flavor of kombucha. For example, replacing black tea with black tea, green tea or oolong tea for fermentation, or lengthening or shortening the fermentation time, etc., will make kombucha have a completely different taste, so each kombucha tastes different.

In addition to being delicious, kombucha also produces many nutrients during the fermentation process, such as beneficial sources, minerals, vitamins, polyphenols, fibers, organic acids, etc., which have many benefits for the human body:

According to the National Nutrition Survey, fiber, magnesium, zinc, iron, etc. are all nutrients that adults usually do not consume enough, and these nutrients will participate in the body's metabolism and affect body fat and weight. Taking fiber as an example, it can adjust gut health, metabolize body oils, and when we consume enough fiber, it is more conducive to control our body.

And kombucha is rich in the above nutrients that we lack,It is a very suitable healthy drink for people who want to lose weight and are greedy.

82% of office workers have gastrointestinal problems, including: irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, flatulence or diarrhea, etc. The main reasons include high work pressure and unbalanced diet. The production process of kombucha produces postbiotics, which are metabolites of probiotics, which can help probiotics maintain gastrointestinal health, create an environment conducive to the growth of good bacteria, and help maintain physiological functions.

In addition, Yiyuanzhi also has the functions of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immune regulation, blood pressure, etc. It is an indispensable role in maintaining gastrointestinal health.

Many people intuitively think that healthy food may not taste good, but kombucha flips that stereotype. In addition to being rich in nutrients, kombucha also has a special sweet and sour taste after fermentation, which is a better choice when you want to relieve stress and drink some beverages.

In addition, research has also found that having a healthy gut microbiome can make us feel better, because gut bacteria can affect the hormones in the body, so that the brain secretes different hormones to influence mood. It appears that kombucha can not only make us happy through our sense of taste, but may also affect mood through internal mechanisms.
