Kombucha
Did you know that you can look good, feel great and sleep well for less than the cost two 3D movie tickets, popcorn and dinner for two? Yes you can. Here’s how: Change your lifestyle and eating habits.
For over a year we have been drinking fermented drinks and resting on a Lotus Spike Mat. Drinks, like kombucha tea and kefir. As a result of this combination of practices, my digestion is regulated, I am more relaxed, I sleep well and I have more energy.
Lets be honest: Americans are obsessed with looking good and sleeping well. This is evident by the billions of dollars we spend on beauty products every year: Firming and wrinkle creams, fat pills, make-up, diet plans, exercise equipment, firm and soft mattresses, anti-snoring gadgets, sleep number beds, you name it. Oftentimes we are looking for magic bullets to solve our beauty issues. Our rationale is: we take a pill and whatever problem we have will go away. I like to call it microwave living: We expect our issues to be solved instantly. It does not work that way, not with our bodies. Our bodies need time to heal, to detoxify, to refresh. Our bodies were meant to move, to be touched, to be nurtured. Taking a pill will only hurt our liver, our detoxifying organ. Yes, you may sleep well on a soft mattress but for how long? Yes, Ambien may make you sleep but why do you have sudden headaches, diarrhea, why are you sleepwalking? There are easy and natural solutions and practices you can introduce to your life. Three of them are a Lotus Spike Mat, kombuca tea and Kefir.
So what is kefir? Kefir is a type of yogurt that has antibiotic and anti-fungal properties and has been around since Antiquity. It is a fermented milk product from the Caucus Mountains that has a sweet yet tangy taste. Some kefirs are sour and you can easily make it at home or buy it from your local supermarket. They even sell it at your local A&P.
Kombucha tea’s origins are lost to history but that does not diminish its health benefits. Kombucha is a live food you drink as a tea after it has been fermented for several weeks. It tastes similar to apple cider or a light white wine depending on the brewer. Ailments such as cancer, arthritis and digestive disorders have reportedly been reversed after kombucha was introduced to people’s diet. The tea is rich in B vitamins including B12, B6, B2, B1 and Vitamin C, which promotes vitality, immunity and helps with inflammation.
You know about the Lotus Spike Mat. Close to 10,000 spikes on a thin mat. The Spikes activate acupressure points in your body which stimulates the release of endorphins in the brain. You lie on the mat for 20-40 minutes and voila! your point of view is changed, you look relaxed, you are calm.
