If you are looking for a healthy alternative to soda, you should try kombucha. Kombucha is a tea -based drink that comes from China. It started to get popular in the last few years, even though it has been around for centuries. There are plenty of healthy benefits when it comes to drinking this tea, like providing probiotics, killing harmful bacteria, reducing heart disease, and helping manage type 2 diabetes.
With kombucha, you are still getting that fizzy drink you get from soda, but without all the bad ingredients that come with it. Consulting with your healthcare professional before adding kombucha to your diet to make sure it is safe for you is always a good idea. Especially if you have certain health conditions.
