Last week, Coach Chris wrote about the dangers of consuming diet soda.  I know people who still struggle with this habit.  Sweet, bubbly, and deliciously void of any nutritional value, we can at least agree on the fact that diet sodas are anything but “healthy diet” compliant.  What to do?  Kombucha on the other hand satisfies the sweet (with a gentle hit of tang) and the bubbly and boasts all sorts of positive benefits.  I’ve been concocting and consuming my own for about a year now.  While I’ve never been a diet soda drinker, I find kombucha refreshing and a great little pick me up in the afternoon.  It’s been around for thousands of years and is said to promote everything from liver detoxification, joint health, probiotic benefits, and immune system benefits.  Whether you buy into it or dismiss it as a “hippy” drink, it’s certainly better than the “liquid lab libation” you’re hooked on.
