May Boost Cardiovascular Health

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) state that cardiovascular health can be improved by adopting healthy lifestyle modifications despite the fact that heart disease raises the risk of stroke and heart attack. This includes eating a balanced diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Exercise, medication, and yes, even kombucha, should all be included.

According to studies published in the Journal of Chemistry, kombucha may have a favorable effect on cholesterol levels. According to the CDC, high cholesterol is one risk factor for heart disease. More studies on humans are required to verify kombucha's ability to lower cholesterol. But according to a study published in April 2015 in Pharmaceutical Biology, rats administered kombucha showed lower levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol) and higher levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol). More research is needed, but future studies could similarly reveal that kombucha improves cholesterol levels in humans.
