hey guys dr. Berg here in this video

we’re going to talk about something very

very cool it’s called lactic acid and if

you ever heard that before but lactic

acid bacteria is probably one of your

most friendly bacteria that you have in

your gut and this is what it looks like

right here this is lactic acid this is

called kombucha tea and that looks

disgusting it has like a fungus in there

there little tiny friendly microbes so

these little friendly guys will create a

really powerful beneficial acid that

goes in your gut first of all they help

neutralize the toxic bacteria so they’re

actually good to support your immune

system the deodorize bad smell so they

actually get rid of rotten smells that

are in your colon so when you go to the

bathroom if you have a bad smell you

need to consume some lactic acid from

something like kombucha tea and they

also enhance the nutritional benefit of

your foods because it’s an acid it

allows you to absorb more proteins amino

acid like also minerals trace minerals

calcium zinc so this enhances the

nutritional value of the food that you

already eat if your colon is not acid

enough you’re not going to be able to

break down food so this ensures that

that pH is correct in the large and

small intestine so it also helps your

skin it’s a blood cleanser it’s a colon

cleanser like I said it loves mucous

membranes so in your colon you have

these layers of mucous membranes and

also in your mouth and the different

parts of your body and your sinuses this

is wonderful to support the mucous

membranes so it’s an overall great thing

for your immune system now what’s

interesting is this stuff is made from

white sugar and black tea so you take it

and I’ll actually put the recipe below

in the link but you basically take sugar

and you dissolve it in water and you put

black tea in it with caffeine and then

you let it cool down and you put these

little this little fungus in here looks

discussing and then the fungus starts

eating up the caffeine and the tea

and the sugar and converts it into

lactic acid pretty well so we’re

basically consuming kind of the waste

product from these microbes with a lot

of good benefits so you can also get

this from consuming pickles right you

can also get it from kefir which is a

type of sour yogurt you can get it from

yogurt you can get it from pickled

vegetables and my favorite which is

sauerkraut so start consuming these

fermented foods and enhance the benefit

from your food thanks for watching
