As my clients begin to change their diets, many also want to drink less alcohol. It comes with the territory. Putting living foods into your body means less desire to also dump in the poisons and toxins. When you feel good, you want to keep it up. What do you do if you don’t want to drink, but want to be social?
My quick tip is to drink kombucha.
Kombucha is a fermented tea drink made from a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY). Kombucha has a lot of natural health benefits from probiotics which help promote healthy gut bacteria and digestion to anti-oxidants which are great immunity boosters.
As the holidays approach, maybe you want to take a night off from drinking, or even a few weeks or months. You’re not stuck with water as your only option. Pick up a bottle of kombucha on your way to the bar or party. When you arrive, ask the hostess or bartender to pour it into a pint or wine glass. You’ll still feel like you’re having a cocktail even if you’re not. It’s one of my favorite ways to enjoy a drink with no chance of a hangover.
I look for kombucha that is raw and made locally when possible. My friend Sarah even brews her own. See how here.
