Have You Discovered the Health Benefits of Yerba Mate?

By April Kerr

So many people who feel over-worked or stressed turn to coffee for an energy boost. But is this the best option? The caffeine in coffee often makes people suffer from the "jitters" so they're now turning to other drinks instead.

Yerba mate (pronounced yerba-mateh) is believed to be an alternative. The leaves of the Yerba Mate' tree are dried along with some of the twigs. After the leaves are dried they can be steeped in hot, not boiling, water. The taste is similar to green tea with a more herbal, bitter flavor.

What is Yerba Mate?



The Yerba mate tree is found in South America and is part of the holly family. It has long green leaves, whitish flowers and bears a small red berry.

Health Benefits of Yerba Mate'



If you take a daily multi-vitamin you may want to consider taking Yerba Mate instead as it is packed with loads of vitamins and minerals such as A, B1, B2, B3, B5 and C, potassium, magnesium, iron, sodium, and phosphorus.

Caffeine is in Yerba Mate'



OK, so there's caffeine in Yerba Mate but it's been found that people who are sensitive to caffeine are not so with Yerba Mate' even though it does have caffeine in it.

Mate' also is easier on the stomach then coffee and some teas. This added with all the nutrients it has makes it a great alternative to coffee. It's not often that something is good for you and also tastes great so enjoy!

April writes about many topics relating to natural health including the health benefits of green tea and Red Bush Tea.

Benefits of White Tea Should Not Be Ignored

By Mary Rose Antonio

As confusing as it is in the world of tea, another amazing tea comes out in the open. Introducing the great white tea! As everyone knows, all teas come from the same plant Camellia Sinensis. What makes them different from each other is the processing involved as well as the region they are grown.

Other factors such as the soil, climate, part of the plant used as well as the processing method all affect the quality of tea whether it's black tea, white tea, chai tea, oolong tea, or green tea. Some loose tea leaves are fermented and some are not. The final outcome depends on the aroma and flavor desired.

White tea came from very young buds or leaves. These young buds are harvested before they are opened fully. The name came from the covering of the bud. Before the leaf is dried, the plant has a silver color then it turns white after the leaf has dried.

The processing involved for white is tea is definitely short compared to black tea. What happens during the processing is that the leaves are steamed and that's just about it. It is as simple as steaming the leaves. The result is a sweet, silky brew with full but delicate flavor. With it comes a host of health benefits that you shouldn't ignore.

It was found through numerous research and studies white tea is an excellent source of polyphenols. Polyphenols are very powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals in our body. Free radicals are your enemy because they are the cause of aging and other diseases. With that said, you need to arm yourself and your loved ones with every antioxidants you can find.

However, not all antioxidants are created equal. Some contain less strength than others. Polyphenols contain the highest amount of antioxidants meaning you would need to consume loads and loads of combined antioxidants from a different variety of foods to get the same amount from a small portion of concentrated polyphenols.

Polyphenols are also powerful anti-cancer agents that helps prevent you from all types of cancer namely, prostate, skin, breast, intestinal, colon, and more.

White tea is also proven to strengthen your immune system preventing you from getting infections and common respiratory problems. White tea's polyphenols has properties allowing your body to fight against viruses and other dangerous infections. Even prevent dental cavities and plaque because it is rich in fluoride and bacteria causing agents that fight against numerous bacteria in your mouth.

Of course, with everything great comes with a not so great counterpart. Due to its high quality and benefits, this wonder drink is not cheap. Think of it as an investment on your health. You pay a lot of money for health insurance in case you get sick, right? Why not prevent one from happening by drinking this delicious yet powerful tea?

For the health benefits white tea can give you plus its delicious taste and flavor, who would not want to jump in and taste it? After all, your health is an investment you can be sure not to lose.

The Lesser Known Benefits Of Green Tea

By Trevor Sadowski

Green tea has been claimed to be the cure all for many modern ailments and as such has been subject to many scientific studies.

You probably already know that green tea is an excellent antioxidant but there are other claimed benefits of green tea such as helping to prevent arthritis, even cancer and the protection of the cells of your heart and liver.

Finally, it is commonly claimed that green tea helps to boost and strengthen the immune system thus increasing your body's natural defenses against disease.

Prevention of Arthritis



Studies suggest that the antioxidants in green tea delay the arthritic process as well providing extra relief to those suffering the painful symptoms.

Slowing Down Cancer



The second of many claimed health benefits of green tea is its ability to prevent or slow down cancer. Recent studies have shown significantly lower levels of cancer amongst Asian communities who drank green tea.

It has to be stressed however that research is continuing to see if the possible correlation between the regular use of green tea and a perceived lower risk for cancer is upheld or is a mere coincidence.

Some encouraging preliminary findings have suggested that the health benefits of green tea may prevent cancer in many of the body's vital organs. These include the bladder, the upper and lower digestive tract and the pancreas.

Protection For Your Heart



Antioxidants have shown promise in the reduction of levels of cholesterol, minimizing cardiac disease and controlling hypertension, more commonly known as high blood pressure.

Other studies have shown that antioxidants were beneficial in minimizing the bonding of blood cells. The implications of this benefit would be the reduction in clotting which is associated with strokes and heart disease.

Protecting Your Liver



Current research suggests there is a strong correlation between the antioxidants found in green tea and the day to day healthy functioning of the liver.

The liver rids the body of toxins and is one of the most important organs for good health. It is the liver that prevents bodily damage caused by common toxins such as alcohol, cigarettes, impurities in the air we breathe and harmful chemicals in our food and water.

However, even the liver can only take so much it too can suffer from too many harmful substances being put through it. Green tea studies strongly suggest that it offers added protection to the cells that comprise the liver in addition to its role in stimulating and strengthening the immune system.

Trevor Sadowski is a recent convert to the benefits of green tea using it both to aid in his weight loss campaign and to take advantage of the many other health benefits it offers.

The Benefits of Green Tea to Men's Health

By Deidra Garcia

Green Tea is an ingredient that increasingly pops up when discussing men's health concerns. Although it's been utilized for hundreds of years for medicinal purposes, it seems like new benefits are being revealed all the time. According to numerous scientific studies, the effects of green tea are currently being considered for treatment of a number of health conditions, from several forms of cancer to mental alertness to weight loss to cholesterol maintenance.

To help you understand the importance of this ingredient's role in both skincare and nutritional capacities, we've broken down the many benefits of this ingredient:

Powerful Antioxidant: Green Tea contains high levels of phenolic acids and catechin-antioxidants which play a major role in protecting the body against free radical damage. Free radicals can cause cellular oxidation and damage, which contribute to health problems associated with aging.

Goodbye Jitters: Because Green Tea contains tannin, it produces an energized feeling and increased alertness for extended periods of time. However, unlike caffeine levels in coffee, tannin provides a gentle increase in energy, without the jitteriness or rapid decline in energy associated with this type of caffeinated reaction.

Fat-Burner: Recent studies are being conducted on the increased health benefits of Green Tea for men looking to lose weight. Consuming Green Tea increases the metabolic rate, causing greater fat oxidation and better weight management. In fact, several studies reveal that the potential weight-loss properties of Green Tea go well beyond its ability to simply accelerate metabolism.

Clean & Complete: Green Tea has been utilized throughout the world as a cleansing agent. For more than 5,000 years, Asian cultures have used Green Tea for its healing and cleansing benefits, and Green Tea continues to be a major ingredient in many treatments.

The Full Treatment: Green Tea is also being studied for its potential role in the fight against cancers, heart, joint and liver diseases.
