slimming tea: ธันวาคม 2013

Why do you adore a hot cup of tea? Is it because you feel relaxed while sipping a warm cup of tea? Maybe it is the fragrance or the warmth of holding a tea mug in your hand or maybe it's the lovely small talk that begins a relationship.

Besides making you feel awesome, teal also has a lot of health benefits. Did you know that tea decreases the danger of stroke and heart attack? Drinking tea regularly also protects you against cancer. It strengthens your immune system and keeps your bone strong.

Check my small list of benefits of drinking tea.

It has the perfect measure of caffeine

The minimal caffeine content in tea ensures that you do not get the anxieties, indigestion, headaches or sleeplessness associated with caffeine rich drinks. In fact, a latest study suggests that the minimal caffeine content in tea actually helps to increase tea's cancer protection effects.

Tea keeps you young

The antioxidants present in tea protect your body from consequences of aging and the effects of pollution. A small dosage of caffeine teams with the antioxidants to combat aging and the effects of skin cancer.

It helps you fight against diabetes

Tea is a good blood sugar lowering agent that develops insulin sensitivity and controls blood pressure to prevent you from diabetes and other similar complications such as diabetic cataracts.

It keeps you fit

If you are gaining weight, I would suggest you to drink a cup of tea every day. Tea does not have any calories if you do not add milk or sweeteners. It also increases your metabolic rate so that you can burn 80 to 100 extra calories by sipping just five cups of green tea per day. You can also burn your extra calories by jogging every day but it is nothing like losing weight with a cup of warm tea

It gives you a sweet smile

You might be surprised to know that a cup of tea can offer you a sweet smile. It actually contains fluoride and tannins that keeps you away from dental plague. So, develop a habit of drinking unsweetened tea and add it to your daily dental routine of brushing your teeth.

It keeps you sane

Besides having stress reducing properties, the antioxidants in tea counteract the oxidative stress on the brain and decrease the danger of neurological disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Drinking a cup of good tea is not only about the feelings attached with it; it is actually about living a healthy life. Tea comes with a lot of benefits and advantages.

Tea For Soothing A Sore Throat

It can be a first sign of a common cold, or something more serious (like a staph infection), but a sore throat is always a painful and uncomfortable condition.

Luckily, you don't have to wait for a sore throat to clear up on its own; there are many natural remedies and over-the-counter medications that can help alleviate the soreness.

Among the natural remedies for a sore throat, probably the most used are herbal teas. Small wonder: a nice cup of warm herbal tea can offer immediate soothing relief for the soreness in your throat.

Teas have different medicinal properties that can help with soothing the throat soreness.

Tea can help you fight the soreness indirectly, by strengthening your immune system, thanks to the abundance of nutrients it contains naturally: zinc, copper, iron, selenium, folate, and vitamins A, C, E and B6. Those varieties that are rich in antioxidants appear to have stronger anti-inflammatory properties, so drinking them can reduce throat swelling, and consequently the soreness. Finally, thanks to their analgesic properties, drinking teas can simply numb your throat - thus making your symptoms less painful.

According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, licorice root, eucalyptus, slippery elm, peppermint and marshmallow root may be effective in treating throat soreness.

Licorice root has a longstanding use in the traditional medicine as a sore throat remedy. Licorice root gargle was proven to prevent the occurrence of throat soreness. Naturally sweet tasting, it's a common ingredient in herbal teas for sore throat.

Slippery elm is often found in combination herbal teas for sore throat. The inner bark of the tree contains mucilage, a substance that soothes the mucus membranes in the throat, and thus reduces the feeling of irritation and soreness.

Marshmallow root also contains mucilage. Marshmallow root tea is recommended by many herbalists as a remedy for sore throat.

Peppermint contains menthol, a substance that works as a decongestant (it relieves congestion) and expectorant (it promotes secretion).

Additionally, citrus fruit like lemon, lime and orange can help with removal of mucus, so try adding its juice to your tea. Many also recommend adding a spoonful of raw honey or a pinch of crushed ginger. Ginger is also believed to help your throat by thinning the mucus, and honey is known to be helpful against the persistent cough.

Whichever tea you decide to use as an alley in a fight against soreness, always remember to drink it warm - but not too warm. Too hot beverages could further irritate your throat - so give your tea a chance to cool a little.

Find out why the best tea for sore throat must contain ginger, and other helpful hints when using tea as a sore throat remedy.
