Healthy tea promises to be the hit of the summer

Replacing alcohol with the drink is the suggestion for the hottest season of the year We haven't even reached summer yet, and temperatures are already rising. One of the drinks that promises to be a hit this season is Kombucha. For those who have never heard of it, Kombucha is a fermented tea made in the presence of a colony of bacteria and yeast. Of ancient origin, the drink originated in China, as explained by Jovan Demoner, Master Brewer and founder of Kombucha Vivaodia. "It is believed that the Chinese were the first to consume Kombucha, starting from 221 B.C., and it was known as the 'elixir of health.' After this period, various peoples began to cultivate it, and around the 1960s and 1970s, it became popular in California among hippies who embraced a more natural diet." Naturally carbonated and refreshing, Kombucha is a revitalizing drink and can be an option to replace alcoholic beverages such as beer, draft beer, cocktails, and even wines during this warmer weather when outings to bars and restaurants, as well as the beach, increase. "With many people seeking a healthier lifestyle or looking to avoid excessive alcohol consumption, the tip is to replace them with a tea that is very good for health," says Demoner. "The tea I produce is a probiotic drink, made from the fermentation of Camellia Sinensis (green tea) sweetened with organic sugar, in the presence of a colony of bacteria and yeast that are very beneficial for the gut," highlights the entrepreneur, who is a pioneer in the state in Kombucha production and is part of the Brazilian Kombucha Association (ABKOM). "Because it has a variety of flavors, those who drink Kombucha Vivaodia do not feel like they are drinking tea but rather a juice, or some even think it tastes like sparkling wine," says Demoner. "The available flavors are grape, hops, original, ginger, and passion fruit," he adds. According to Jovan, it is worth trying the carbonated tea and incorporating it into your daily routine due to its health benefits. "The list of how Kombucha is good for health is extensive." Some benefits of the drink: 1 – Aids in weight loss by regulating appetite and reducing obesity 2 – Prevents constipation 3 – Helps combat stress and anxiety, stabilizes mood 4 – Fights free radicals by providing antioxidants such as Vitamins C, E, beta-carotenes, and other carotenoids, etc. 5 – Normalizes blood pressure 6 – Improves gut function 7 - Balances blood pH 8 – Acts as a detoxifier 9 – Relieves issues such as gout, rheumatism, arthritis, and kidney stones 10 – Improves liver function The ideal is to consume 100 ml of Kombucha Vivaodia every day.
