For a better gut feeling
Depending on how it's made, kombucha can contain live cultures and can be integrated into your personal enjoyment routine as a fermented drink. In everyday life, we often forget how relaxing small moments of well-being can be. In the 7-day kombucha challenge, we give you a small daily routine that you can then integrate into your day combined with a bottle of kombucha.
You don't need much for this. Just a week with a little free time and a desire for kombucha. How you feel after a week is individual. The challenge is primarily intended as a conscious pleasure and daily routine that combines kombucha with small personal moments of well-being.
Day 1: Drink kombucha and enough water
Today, on day 1, you'll have a bottle of your favorite kombucha for breakfast. For the rest of the day, you should drink at least 2.5 liters of water. Guideline: 35 milliliters per kilogram of body weight. Too little fluid in everyday life can harm your health. Your kidneys need fluid to transport waste products out of the body. Digestion can become sluggish. Kombucha complements your morning routine with live cultures and natural fermentation products.
Day 2: Alkaline bath and kombucha
Take an hour for yourself today and treat yourself to an alkaline bath with candles and kombucha. Alkaline bath salts can be bought at the pharmacy or drugstore. A warm bath can be a relaxing ritual and help you consciously switch off. Even after exercise, warmth can be perceived as pleasant. However, a special "alkaline" effect or targeted acceleration of muscle regeneration cannot be generally derived from this. Kombucha, with its characteristically sour taste, also goes well with this conscious moment of relaxation. The perfect combination!
Day 3: Get some fresh air and then reward yourself with kombucha
Today we're going out into the fresh air. Whether you live in a big city or in a village, there's always the opportunity to break out into nature for an hour. Take an hour for a relaxing walk in the forest or simply in the nearby park and then treat yourself to a chilled bottle of kombucha.
Day 4: Self-love meditation
Today we celebrate your feelings and consciously allow emotions. Open the windows in your apartment and let some fresh air into your home. Take half an hour to listen to yourself. How do you feel today? What moves you? What's your gut feeling? What do you feel like today? Do you do things because you think you have to? Take a deep breath in and out and feel inside yourself. Afterwards, you can slowly enjoy a bottle of kombucha and signal to your body that you are there for it and ready to listen to it.
Day 5: Alkaline soup and kombucha
Today, we're having this delicious alkaline carrot soup for dinner. A chilled bottle of kombucha makes a sparkling accompaniment.
Day 6: Yoga Stretching and Kombucha
Today, your body will be treated to a good stretching program. You don't have to be a professional yogi or super athletic for this. Instead of a yoga mat, you can also use a blanket as a base or a comfortable rug. Afterwards, a bottle of kombucha and you can start the day energized or fall asleep relaxed. Here's the video.
Day 7: Enjoy Kombucha Mocktail with friends
You can be proud of yourself and the last few days. To round off the week, there's a delicious non-alcoholic kombucha mocktail with your friends. For 2 people you will need:
- 1 bottle of ginger
- Juice of 1/4 lemon
- 2 lemon slices
- 1 tsp basil
- Syrup
- Mint leaves for decoration
Sharing moments of happiness is much more fun than enjoying them alone. Did you know that our body produces 6 different happiness hormones (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, endorphins, phenethylamine, and oxytocin)? They influence your physical and psychological well-being and are sometimes even referred to as the body's own drugs.
