SUMMARY: Kombucha, a fermented tea beverage with potential health benefits, has gained popularity despite its acquired taste. Dr. Robert Israel notes its probiotic properties can aid the microbiome, potentially impacting immune function, diabetes prevention, and weight loss. Studies suggest it may help against conditions like asthma, allergies, arthritis, heart disease, and certain cancers. Produced in Fair Hope by Amanda Webb’s Wild Magnolia brand, kombucha involves a fermentation process using a SCOBY, which looks like a jellyfish. Drinking 4 ounces daily can improve gut health, but medical consultation is advised, especially for pregnant individuals or those with autoimmune diseases.

Kombucha is a drink with a funny name that may help you live a longer life. One brand you’ll find on grocery store shelves is made in Fairhope at the “Wild Magnolia” brewery. Making it, and learning to enjoy the taste, both take time.

SUMMARY: Neighbors in a historic mobile neighborhood are revitalizing a small City Park through the Arty GR event this weekend. Local artists have donated their work for sale or raffle to raise funds for improvements in the pocket park located in the Detonti Square Historic District. One goal is to elevate the planters for easier access. Organizers hope to increase awareness of the tucked-away park, encouraging more visitors to explore nearby restaurants and coffee shops. The event will take place Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM at Flambo Hall on St. Anthony Street, with hopes for it to become an annual tradition.
