Nutrition Nugget: Kombucha
Description
Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Kombucha. Is this fizzy, tangy drink really the gut health hero everyone on social media claims it to be, or is it just another trendy beverage riding the wellness wave straight into your grocery store fridge? Jenn digs into what kombucha is, how it is made, and what the research says about its impact on digestion, immunity, skin, blood sugar, and even your liver. There is a lot to like here, and yet there are also a few catches that most labels will not tell you, from hidden sugar to a serving size most people are drinking way past. So is kombucha worth the hype, or the price tag? Jenn breaks down both sides before landing on her verdict. Like what you're hearing?
