How Your Exercise Today Gives A Brain Boost Tomorrow

Good Morrow! 👋 

10almonds tip: if you’re getting some Huel from the sponsored section below today, this writer would like to note that it’s a great flour-replacer if you’re making shortcrust pastry (such as for mince pies); don’t add sugar though, as Huel is already sweet!

In today’s email we cover holding your pee (or not), exercise’s next-day cognitive benefits, and kombucha!

Also, a big thank you to NativePath for sponsoring our email today—without our sponsors we wouldn’t be free, so please send them some love from us!

To Pee Or Not To Pee

Is it “strengthening” to hold, or are we doing ourselves harm if we do? Dr. Heba Shaheed explains in this short video:

One-Minute Book Review

The Big Book of Kombucha: Brewing, Flavoring, and Enjoying the Health Benefits of Fermented Tea – by Hannah Crum & Alex LaGory

If you’ve been thinking “I should get into kombucha”, then this is the universe prompting you, because with in this book’s 400 pages is all the information you need and more.

Because, it’s understandable to be wary when starting out, from “what if my jar explodes” to “what if I poison my family”, but the authors (and photographer) take every care to ensure that everything goes perfectly, guiding us through everything from start to finish, including very many high-quality color photos of what things should (and shouldn’t) look like.

On which note, that does mean that to enjoy the color you should get a physical copy or Kindle Fire, not a Kindle e-ink version (as then it’d be black and white).

There’s also a comprehensive section on troubleshooting, as well as hundreds of recipes for all kinds of flavors and occasions.

Bottom line: in the category of books that could reasonably be called “The Bible of…”, this one’s the “The Bible of Kombucha”.
