Kombucha Challenge - Pamper yourself for 7 days
For a nicer gut feeling
Kombucha can give you a great feeling with its many live cultures and probiotics. In everyday life we often forget how relaxing small moments of well-being can be. With the 7-Day Kombucha Challenge, we give you a small routine every day, which you can then integrate into your day combined with a bottle of Kombucha .
You don't need much for that. Just a week with some freedom and a desire for kombucha. You're sure to feel energetic after just a week of regular Kombucha drinking, and with the added little pampering moments.
Day 1: Drink Kombucha and plenty of water
Today on day 1 there is a bottle of your favorite kombucha for breakfast. You should drink at least 2.5 liters of water for the rest of the day. Guide value: 35 milliliters per kilogram of body weight. Too little liquid in everyday life can damage your health. Your kidneys need fluid to carry waste products out of the body. Digestion can become sluggish. Kombucha also nourishes your body with live cultures and enzymes and supports your gut.
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 are available in pharmacies or drugstores. A base bath can gently bring your body's acid-base balance into balance. In addition, your skin is cared for from the outside. A base bath also relaxes your muscles after exercise and helps them to regenerate faster. Kombucha can also help your body to positively influence your acid-base balance. The perfect combo!
Day 3: Out into the fresh air and then reward with Kombucha
Today we're going out into the fresh air. It doesn't matter if you live in the big city or in the village, there is always the possibility to escape into the countryside for an hour. Take an hour for a relaxing walk in the forest or just in the park next door and then spoil yourself with 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 four walls. Take half an hour and listen to yourself. How are you feeling today? what moves you How's your gut feeling? What are you up to today? Do you do things because you feel you have to do them? Breathe in and out deeply and feel into 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 have this delicious basic carrot soup for dinner. Combined with a bottle of Kombucha, your intestines will thank you.
Day 6: Yoga Stretching and Kombucha
Today your body will be treated to a proper stretching program. You don't have to be a professional yogi or super athletic to do this. Instead of a yoga mat, you can also use a blanket as a base or a comfortable carpet. Then a bottle of Kombucha and you can start the day full of energy or fall into bed relaxed.

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 affect your physical and psychological well-being and are sometimes even referred to as endogenous drugs.
