Kefir & Kombucha

rmed over 400 species of bacterium and fungi/yeast living in a healthy human. After certain stresses that we have been through our digestive system loses this amazing army of good bacteria and fungi. "Good" = living with us without harming us and on the contrary - protecting us and providing us with a healthy, almost, I would say "chemical" transformation of food into enzymes, vitamins and vital amino acids just to name a few. A polluted gut absorbs food less efficiently. Kefir, as well as Kombucha, will kill the bad guys and clean the gut of toxins. In particular, the Aloe Passion Fruit mix, provides the seeds of Passion Fruit (rich in fibre) that when ingested will clean up the colon besides providing a bunch of trace mineral elements. Combining the alternate and moderate use of all 3 - Water Kefir, Milk Kefir and Kombucha, we are providing ourselves with a very powerful probiotic food! Fact: In a study, Kombucha has drastically lowered the levels of LDL/HDL in under 30 days only! Another fact: Kefir and Kombucha kill Candida H-Pylori (responsible for acid reflux and stomach ulcers). Since we have been providing our brews for almost a year, we have had already some feedback. In particular, a diabetic person who has lowered total HDL/LDL from 9.5 to almost normal 6.6 note. That happened in 1 month time. Little secret? Besides putting the digestive system to a very healthy level, you have got to know another little secret of Kefir and Kombucha. The bacterias and yeasts that live in it, use sugars as primary source of food and energy! What does it mean? It means that these new little friends will be eating the sugar that they will find in your gut from now on! After a regular consumption they "invade" the whole intestinal area passing through the acidic barrier of your stomach. Usually half of the alive material swallowed will be passing through. That may vary depending on the stomach conditions during the time of consumption of Kefir or Kombucha. But let's assume this! After the initial consumption, they will start to be well established in your gut within a few days to a week time for a person without painful or serious conditions. So the effects can be felt very quickly. Generally, we feel energized after eating rather than tired. We also feel contained rather than bloated. The digestion happens calmly rather than a strong burn in the stomach. The little secret is that sugar has been linked to the high levels of cholesterol, heart disease and stroke among many other ailments. We need sugar to have energy and to function healthily. The problem comes with the sugar that we do not know is there (kinda hidden one) or we do not know that the substance we eat will be metabolized into sugar in the liver. So usually we end up with a "too much" sugar in the stomach. And now we have a solution to that! We have our little friends living in our stomachs that will take care of this surplus of sugar and also provide us with many nutrients and protection against the bacterial and fungal threats.
