Immune Boosting Benefits of Kombucha
The weather has taken a turn in the Sea to Sky region that Spark Kombucha calls home, and just like that it’s Fall y’all! The change in seasons brings with it colourful falling leaves, cozy sweaters, rain boots, and for some of us - the sniffles. This is the time of year when we need to be sure we’re taking care of our immune system and overall wellness.
Good news for Spark Kombucha drinkers - if you’re already drinking kombucha because you love the taste, wait till you hear about all the added health and immune boosting benefits you’re also getting from each sip!
Take Care of Your Guts & Your Guts Will Take Care of You
Your guts aren’t only responsible for digesting your food, they also communicate with your whole body and contribute to your overall health and wellness. A healthy and diverse gut microbiome helps with digestion and supports your immune system. Which means, you need to take good care of your guts so they can keep taking care of you. Kombucha is full of helpful enzymes, acids, and probiotics created during the fermentation process that are so good for your guts and in turn can be great for your immune system too.
Natural Ingredients
Each of the ingredients we use also have their own superpowers that add to the reasons you should be drinking more! At Spark we always use natural, organic ingredients to flavour our kombucha.
Hibiscus isn’t just nice to look at, it also contains antioxidants such as vitamin C, beta-carotene, and anthocyanin.
Ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory, used to aid in digestion or ease nausea, and help regulate blood sugars, and so much more.
You get a serious hit of vitamin C and citric acid from citrus like lemons and lime. Citrus fruits can support heart health, your immune system, as well as aid in digestion and gut health.
Blue Spirulina is known to have high nutritional value and may boost the immune system, increase metabolism, and improve digestion. It contains an abundance of B vitamins which can enhance energy levels - great for all those looking for a natural pick-me-up.
Wellness Improvements
Spark Kombucha strives to celebrate and support healthy choices by offering a light, functional, all natural beverage choice. Making small changes, like reducing sugar or alcohol consumption are simple ways to improve your overall wellness. These changes can mean a better nights sleep, more energy throughout the day, and less stress on your system. These things in turn, take the pressure off your immune system and make sure it’s running at full steam all year round and not just when it’s sweater weather.
No matter which of our 8 flavours you try, you’ll be getting a serious hit of antioxidants, good for your gut acids, and probiotics. That’s why we like to say our brews contain “bubbles with benefits”!
