I am a huge fan of Kombucha. A natural healthy fermented beverage full of amazing amino acids, probiotics and essential minerals, it has been brewed and enjoyed for over 2000 years all over the world, from Russia to China and early Europe.

Keeping a garden can improve your health by providing you with fresher, uncontaminated food, and cutting your grocery bill in the process.
