Kombucha has been the latest health trend, but why does everyone seem so interested in it? While there are some people who have expressed their hatred towards this beer-like drink, I'm here to change your opinion and explain all the benefits kombucha has to offer.

Kombucha is fermented tea that helps clear out your gut and stabilize the enzymes that help your stomach function. It is the key to good gut health, which leads to overall health. Our gut has been called the second brain, which makes them very connected to one another. The 'butterflies,' or the nerves in your stomach, is a phenomenon from when you feel feels anxious, distressed, and angry. This shows that there is a scientific explanation behind the 'gut-feeling' mood.

The bacteria in our gut is directly related to our overall physical and mental health. Kombucha is also rich in probiotics, which aids in digestion. By drinking kombucha and improving those bacteria, your mood and energy will improve throughout the day. There is also a lot of natural energy associated with kombucha, and it has a small amount of caffeine.

These are some of my favorite brands of kombucha. Granted these are pretty much the only ones I've tried, I've ranked brands in order from best to worst, and included the flavors that I've enjoyed!

GT's Enlightened Organic Raw Kombucha: Watermelon and Trilogy flavors.

Health-ade Kombucha: Pink Lady Apple or Pomegranate.

221 BC Kombucha: Lavender or Berry Hibiscus.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
