My chiroprator loaded me down with exercises to do and I'm trying to keep up with them. None take very long, and none are difficult to do, but it's a matter of just getting down to it.
I had finally gotten the hang of juicing to my liking before I left Sac, and now I miss it. With that in mind I drove to a natural food store that I knew carries unpasteurized juice, and bought 3 bottles (16 oz ea). Two are kombucha green juice that contain a few other healthy ingredients. I had no idea what kombucha is, and didn't know whether I would like it or not. I opened one of the bottles today and the first drink was a total shock! It seemed extremely tangy but also tasted extremely good and refreshing. Each sip of it got tastier and the tang was still there although a bit softened. I love the stuff!
Kombucha refers to a variety of "fermented, lightly effervescent sweetened black or green tea drink". I sure felt a surge of energy and good health after each sip of that stuff. I bought 2 kombucha multi-green drinks, and 1 kombucha pomegranate ginger, which has an amber color. Both are dated and the product doesn't have much of a shelf life, so I will probably visit the store every 3 or 4 days. It is a fairly large store with loads of good things, but I tried to keep from shopping right now and just got the juice.
So I've shopped for and drank a healthy drink, and done quite a few exercises as well as walked on the treadmill for about 25 minutes. I think I'll treat myself to a beer this evening! (Beer is good for you, especially a golden ale or lager).

Wow, you are going to be so healthy you will not no what to do.
ReplyDeleteTea with a kick?
ReplyDeleteI think I'll look into this Kombucha. I've never heard of it but like your review.
ReplyDeleteHope you google the "side effects" of Kombucha - WebMD says to only start with a few ounces a day with lots of water !! As it releases toxins in your body it can also aggravate a lot of previous conditions - everything from acne to skin itching all over , stomach cramps and diarrhea , flare ups of arthritis, allergies etc, etc - of course your body is already used to beer so maybe your reaction to fermented beverages might not be significant - be careful and enjoy NY
ReplyDeleteWell I was thinking of buying some until I read Moonfly's comment. Dont' need anymore problems right now
ReplyDeleteIt would give you any problems unless you drink 4-5 8oz servings of to start with. Like anything new, start slow. 2-3 oz with a splash of dark cherry juice or plain water. But that's for home brewed. Buy a bottle at the health food store and try that. It's pretty mild and ready to drink.
DeleteI brew my own kombucha. It's really easy but I still like the flavored one's that come from the store.
