Wellness Pathway #104:
Drink Rooibos Tea
|
Many people wisely seek to eliminate or minimize
caffeine from their diet. Caffeine has many known negative health effects (as
well as a few positive ones such as for endurance athletes). But how do we
balance this with the recommendation to drink Green Tea for its wonderful
polyphenols, or catechins, which can help lower cholesterol, improve lipid
metabolism, guard against cancer, and fight bacterial infection? Decaffeinated
Green Tea is one solution, although the decaffeination process removes some of
the catechins along with the caffeine.
The answer is Rooibos Tea, the only naturally caffeine-free leaf which has an
abundance of those same wonderful catechins. In addition, Rooibos Tea, which
comes from South Africa, is naturally low in tannic acid -- making it a very
smooth drink indeed. Order it economically on the Web from
http://www.republicoftea.com. Explore
by item number, 30584. Be sure to let it steep for at least 4 minutes. Since it
never gets bitter, due to its low tannic acid content, you can steep it even
longer or even boil it in the pot for a stronger but still pleasant-tasting
brew.
