What's New Monday
Key takeaways:
One such “probiotic-rich elixir” is kombucha, which “has been celebrated for thousands of years,” according to nutritionist Bhakti Kapoor.
“Sticking to just one brand or flavor may lead to gut dysbiosis – an imbalance of gut bacteria. “To safeguard your gut health, it’s essential to explore different brands and flavors regularly,”
Look for brands with little sugar, start with small amounts to avoid digestive issues, and consume in moderation as it is not a meal or water replacement.
“Remember that kombucha is just one source of probiotics, and a varied diet with other fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut can provide different strains of beneficial bacteria.”
“If you’re a kombucha fan and want more control over the ingredients and sugar content, consider making your own at home.”
