Here are the 6 health benefits of drinking kombucha tea.

Having a healthy gut can provide overall health for your body. Kombucha has been fermented; which makes it a good source of probiotics that help to balance out the good bacteria with the bad in your gut.
Kombucha provides same benefits as green tea
Did you know that green tea is one of the healthiest beverages on the planet? We talked about the 10 reasons why you should be drinking green tea, but now you can achieve all of those benefits and more from kombucha. This is because kombucha is made from green tea, it helps to protect from cancers, maintain memory, while also enabling you to lose weight.
Kombucha contains antioxidants
Did you know eating and drinking antioxidants is better than taking any supplement? Kombucha contains antioxidants that help your body protect itself from free radicals that can damage your cells. Drinking one bottle per day or 3-4 per week will supply the antioxidants needed.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death and much of it can be controlled by what we eat and drink. Kombucha has the ability to improve “bad” LDL and “good” HDL cholesterol levels; which are directly linked to heart health.
Kombucha can help manage Type 2 diabetes
Studies have shown that drinking kombucha slowed down the digestion of carbs which reduced blood sugar levels, while also improving liver and kidney function. Include kombucha in your diet to help manage Type 2 diabetes.
