Health Benefits of Tea
Tea is the mostly widely consumed beverage in the world after water.
Some of the healthiest people in the world drink it daily. Not
surprisingly, tea offers many health benefits. A few of them are listed
below.
Tea is high in antioxidants, the free radical fighter. Interestingly,
coffee is a good source of antioxidants, but some of the negative
effects of coffee drinking don't apply or not nearly as much to tea. For
example, black and green tea have about half as much caffeine as coffee,
so if coffee gives you the jitters, switch to tea for your pick-me-up
cup.
Catechins are one of tea's health secrets. Catechins are flavonoids
found in high amounts in tea. The health benefits of catechins are now
widely reported on. The catechins in tea are associated with lower rates
of tumors, arterial plaque, stroke and even diabetes.
What are the differences in the varieties of tea?
If you were perplexed the last time you went out shopping for tea,
here's a quick guide to Black, Green, White, Red and Oolong Teas. For
starters, one difference is the length of time the tea leaves have been
fermented. Black tea has been fermented the longest, and white tea the
least amount of time.
Black teas give you a robust cup that is especially nice in the
morning as a pick me up, and is the variety we know as English
Breakfast, Ceylon, Assam and Darjeeling. It is lovely with a bit of milk
or served over ice with a little sweetening.
Green tea has a wonderful palate-cleansing flavor that is a
perfect accompaniment to Asian food. It's also a wonderful ingredient
for the skin. Cooled green tea kept in a glass jar in the refrigerator
makes a nice toner after cleansing the skin. Green tea has been shown in
studies to burn calories. Specifically, about 80 calories a day. That
can add up to a couple of pounds lost over the course of a month, so why
not add a cup of green tea to your daily diet? Green tea is particularly
delicious with Japanese and Chinese food. Its palate cleansing qualities
complement these cuisines nicely.
Here is a nice resource on Green Tea:
The Complete Guide to Green Tea
White tea is the least processed of teas. It has a very delicate flavor
and is usually brewed with hot, not boiled water and steeped for a
shorter time. White tea offers the highest amount of antioxidants of all
teas. It also offers antiviral and antibiotic properties (similar to
green tea but even more so).
Rooibos or "red" tea, is actually not a tea at all. It is an infusion of
the African red bush. Rooibos has no
caffeine so it's perfect for pregnant moms and chidren. Rooibos has a
soothing effect on the central nervous
system. It has been reported to aid colic and sleeplessness. In some
parts of the world, Rooibos is the mom's
prescription for colicky babies and kids with stomach upset. It's quite
gentle on the stomach. Rooibos also has a soothing effect on the skin,
relieving itching and certain skin irritations like eczema
and diaper irritation.
Tea snobs claim that the best tea is loose, so consider buying yours
from a supplier that doesn't bag their
tea. Bagged tea often contains "tea dust", the lowest quality tea. High
quality loose tea can actually
be brewed twice, making it more economical.
Healthy Teeth Toothpaste from The Natural Dentist
submitted by anonymous reviewer
Description of Product: Healthy Teeth Toothpaste is a
natural toothpaste that is free of harsh chemicals, artificial dyes,
sweeteners, and preservatives. It contains safe and gentle ingredients
and fresh and natural flavors.
What do you like about the product?: I ordered this toothpaste because
it is free of Sodium Lauryl sulfate or SLS and other harsh and unnatural
ingredients. Unlike a lot of other natural toothpastes this one actually
tastes good and compares well with conventional, unhealthy toothpastes.
In our family we have tried the Peppermint Twist, Orange Zest, and
Sparkle Berry Blast. The kids like these toothpastes as mush as the
sugary kids toothpastes you find at most stores so I am happy that they
have a healthier toothpaste that they actually like. In addition to the
natural and healthy ingredients I also like the stand up design and the
fact that it is a box free product so there is no excess packaging to
dispose of.
What do you dislike about it (if applicable)?: This toothpaste does not
foam like regular toothpastes but since this function is made possibly
by toxic SLS it is a good trade off.
This product can be puchased in some drugstores and online
