A poem for International Womens Day, written by AI, prompted by our founder Hebe “write a short poem comparing women to Kombucha”, isn't this technology crazy?!
Got the poem done, and tweaked as I sipped down my glorious morning home brewed Kombucha, it had a mighty good kick to it this morning – just how I like it.
After my sunrise sea dip with the local WTMWTD (win the morning, win the day) crew, I am feeling more grateful than ever for this life.
In a hectic world,
She’s Kombuchas zing
A tangy spark
In every brew she brings
With a fizz of charm,
And a pop of delight,
She turns the daily grind
To a dance at night.
She cultures joy
Like yeast in sweet tea,
Her laughter bubbles,
And sets spirits free
On International Women’s Day, Her cheer we celebrate,
A sip of her
Is to rejuvenate 🌺
There are some ways that Kombucha can be more relevant to woman's health. Kombucha, as a fermented beverage. Here are some broad suggestions::
- Probiotics and Gut Health: Kombucha is rich in probiotics due to the fermentation process. Probiotics are beneficial for gut health, which is crucial for overall health. A healthy gut can improve digestion, immunity, and even mood, which are all important for women’s health.
- Nutrient Absorption: A healthy gut also helps with better absorption of nutrients from food, which is essential for women who need adequate intake of specific nutrients like iron and calcium.
- Antioxidants: Kombucha contains antioxidants that help in fighting free radicals in the body. Antioxidants are important for reducing oxidative stress, which is linked to various chronic diseases.
- Bone Health: Some studies suggest that the probiotics found in fermented foods can improve bone density, which is particularly important for women, who are at a higher risk of osteoporosis.
- Hormonal Balance: Gut health has been linked to hormonal balance. Since kombucha can contribute to a healthy gut microbiome, it may indirectly support hormonal health.
- Mental Health: There is growing evidence to suggest a link between gut health and mental health. Since women are statistically at higher risk for certain mental health issues like depression and anxiety, kombucha’s potential positive impact on gut health could be beneficial.
- Menstrual Health: While there is no direct evidence linking kombucha to menstrual health, a healthy diet that includes fermented foods might contribute to overall well-being, which can be beneficial during the menstrual cycle.
It’s important to note that while kombucha can be part of a healthy diet, it is not a cure-all and should not replace medical treatments or a balanced diet. Some individuals, including pregnant or breastfeeding women, should consult with a healthcare provider before regularly consuming kombucha.
As with any dietary change or supplementation, it is recommended to discuss it with a healthcare professional, especially for individuals with specific health conditions or concerns, and that goes for men and women alike.
Happy International Womens Day, cheers *Kombucha 🤩
