A kombucha, a drink made with a fungus that has been flying off supermarket shelves, appears to have the same effects as fasting. At least, that's the conclusion reached by a group of researchers.
To better understand the effects of this tea, green or black, scientists from the University of North Carolina, in the United States, analyzed how kombucha can transform the microbiome. The results of the study were, at the very least, promising.

The research suggests that kombucha can modify the fat metabolism of certain microorganisms in the intestine, mimicking the benefits of fasting. If confirmed, this discovery could open doors to the implementation of new treatments for obesity, for example.
The researchers indicate that the impact of kombucha microbes on intestinal parasites, more specifically on Caenorhabditis elegans, led to a reprogramming of fat metabolism. This caused a sharp reduction in fat reserves.
However, caution is advised. Although it is considered a healthy drink, kombucha should be consumed in moderation, otherwise it can cause stomach discomfort. It is also important to pay attention to the preparation and preservation of this tea.
