Kombucha Tea, Cultures, Benefits and Hazards

Kombucha 2009!!! January 9, 2009

It’s 2009 and that means resolutions, and for me, this happens to be the year of Kombucha. I’m not going to marry myself to a 30 day challenge or anything like that because…well let’s face it look what happeneded last time when I tried to drink kombucha for 30 days. I crapped out. For me the mental challenge is more difficult then the actual drinking kombucha and documenting the results if that makes any sense whatsoever, it feels like extra credit in high school when you already had the A. I would rather just feel the results and go about my life drinking kombucha. What am I blabbing about? New years resolutions I suppose.

My new years resolutions for 2009 are as follows:
1. Exercise (regularly) – My problem with this in the past was I would exercise but completely irregularly and only yoga. The problem with youga though is that you can get your muscles so loose that you actually lose strength so it made it harder for me to do more body weight exercise, I hope to develop some kind of hybrid routine. Any tips? Post them in the comments.

2. Drink more Kombucha, Green tea, and yerba mate – Something I have more or less already been doing. Sitting here typing this right now I have my green tea sitting next to me and it really is wonderful. OH! And to drink less coffee, in a pinch I really don’t think coffee is that bad.

3. Eat healthy – This is probably the toughest one because it’s not that eat poorly now, it’s that I have poor eating habits. Over eating the wrong foods, under eating the good ones. This is largely do to ignorance on my part and not knowing what to eat. I’m going to be doing some more research on this one.

4. BE PRODUCTIVE and DEDICATED – To go balls to the walls about the things I’m passionate about and to make things happen for myself because guess what nobody else can do this for you.

5. Wake up early! – I’m lucky enough to have the kind of job where I can make my own hours but that doesn’t mean I want to waste y time and day. I wish I had a cold glass of kombucha waiting for me next to my bed in the morning, or better yet in the morning; yerba mate! Yerba gives me such a great feeling of well being, it’s great in the morning.

So my kombucha journey into 2009 has just begun. What are your goals this year?

*Note – After reading this I actually want to do another 30 day challenge of some sort.

 

MIA: Kombucha Update January 8, 2009

Hey everyone! Remember me!? The guy who was doing the 30 day kombucha challenge with the videos on this very blog? Your old pal Sean? Anyone? Well, I owe you all an apology I got busy in my personal life and put my health conscious life on hold (kind of). I got very busy producing videos for my comedy website SmallDreams.tv which you can of course check out! I have been brewing for awhile now and although I have not documented my results as I showed of I can honestly say that I have more energy now than I have in my entire life after drinking Kombucha regularly for about one year. I noticed when I first started drinking Kombucha Tea I would get a pretty big buzz off of it kind of like those first few cigarettes (not that I smoke, disgusting habit) and after awhile the buzz became a little less but I’m still “buzzin” off the stuff (also note, I do not drink kombucha for the buzz, it’s just an added incentive is all). I was someone who was experiencing a lot of heartburn, I would take tums, Mylanta, and even Prilosec to try and curb but nothing helped! Nothing! That is until about two months after regularly drinking Kombucha and now I can honestly say that my heartburn is gone and I could not be happier! So I hope all is well in everyone’s lives and i wish you all a happy new year. You should be seeing me around this blog a lot more this year so stay tuned!
