Citrus Almond Black Tea Benefits

Black Tea Benefits

Contains Antioxidant

Consuming antioxidants may help decrease the risk of chronic disease and improve your overall health.

Heart Health

Black tea contains flavonoids and this ingredient has beneficial effects on heart health. Through several studies, regular drinking of black tea may help reduce the risk of heart disease.

May lower “Bad” LDL Cholesterol

LDL and HDL are two types of lipoproteins which carry cholesterol throughout the body. Studies have shown that black tea may help reduce LDL levels. High LDL levels increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Gut Health

Trillions of bacterial and the immune system is housed in the gut. Polyphenols and antimicrobial properties found in black tea may help improve gut health and immunity.

Blood Pressure

Consuming black tea on a daily bases may help decrease systolic and diastolic blood pressure. This research however is mixed.

Reduce the Risk of Stroke

Insulin is a hormone that is secreted when you consume sugar. Black tea is a non-sweetened beverage that can help improve the use of insulin and reduce blood sugar.

Reduce Risk of Cancer Cell

The polyphenols in black tea may help fight cancer cells in the body. Although consuming black tea will not cure cancer, it may help decrease the cancer cell development.

Improvement in Focus

Some properties in black tea may help improve focus due to the caffeine content and the amino acid called L-theanine. The amino acid increases the alpha activity in the brain, which can help improve focus and alertness.

 

Orange Peel Benefits

May Help Prevent Cancer

Studies have shown that the flavonoids in the orange peels inhibit a protein that is linked to cancer. There is also limonene in the orange that can cut cancer risk. Other studies have shown the efficacy of citrus peels preventing cancerous activities.

Strengthen Heart

The flavonoid called hesperidin is shown to lower blood cholesterol and blood pressure levels. There is also anti-inflammatory properties, which help to fight against inflammation, known to cause heart disease.

Enhance Digestive Health

Studies have shown how the citrus fruit peels have been used to treat digestive disorders.

Protect Teeth

The antibacterial properties can help protect you from dental caries.

 

Apple Benefits

May Help You Live Longer

According to a study, researchers have observed the life-extending effects on animals that consumed apples. Although this research has been limited to test animals, no objections have been made to apply the general findings to human beings.

May Lower Risk of Heart Attack

During a study, apples contributed to a 23% deduction in LDL-cholesterol

May Lower Risk of Cancer

It is possible for the high antioxidant activity in apples to deactivate certain enzymes, which are responsible for developing lung cancer.

 

Almond Pieces Benefits

Rich in Antioxidants

Antioxidants protect against oxidative stress. This type of stress usually causes damage to molecules in your cells, contributing to inflammation, aging and diseases like cancer. The powerful antioxidants are largely concentrated in the brown layer of the skin. A study on smokers revealed a reduction in oxidative stress.

High in Vitamin E

Vitamin E contains fat-soluble antioxidants. Higher vitamin E intake has showed lower rates of heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

Can Assist with Blood Sugar Control

Nuts are low in Carbs but high in healthy fats, protein and fiber. Almonds have a high amount of magnesium. Magnesium is involved with blood sugar control. People with type 2 diabetes are deficient in magnesium. By correcting this, blood sugar levels are lowered and yield an improvement in insulin function. There is also an insulin resistance when supplementing with magnesium.

Magnesium Benefits Blood Pressure Levels

High blood pressure is linked to a deficiency in magnesium. If magnesium deficiency is corrected, there is a major decrease in blood pressure.

May Lower Cholesterol Levels

A study showed that almonds lowered LDL cholesterol levels. Another study revealed almonds lowered LDL cholesterol while maintaining “good” HDL cholesterol.

Almonds Prevent Harmful Oxidation of LDL Cholesterol

Polyphenol antioxidants are found in the almond skin. Polyphenol prevented oxidation of cholesterol in test-tubes and animal studies.

 

Cinnamon Benefits

Cinnamon is Loaded With Antioxidants

These protect your body from oxidative damage caused by free radicals.

Has Anti-Inflammatory Properties

These properties may help lower your risk of disease.

May Protect Against Heart Disease

May help reduce heart disease by lowering the levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while keeping the “good” HDL cholesterol stable.

Improve Sensitivity to the Hormone Insulin

Studies have shown that cinnamon may help increase the sensitivity of hormone insulin, by reducing insulin resistance.

Lowers Blood Sugar Levels and Has a Powerful Anti-Diabetic Effect

Several human studies have confirmed the anti-diabetic effects of cinnamon, showing that it can lower fasting blood sugar levels. There is also a compound in cinnamon that can act on cells by mimicking insulin. By also interfering with numerous digestive enzymes, carbohydrates in your digestive tract are broken down slowly, which starts by the glucose entering your bloodstream.

May Have Beneficial Effects on Neurodegenerative Diseases

Cinnamon has been shown to lead to various improvements for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease in animal studies, though it needs to be mentioned that human research is lacking.

May Protect Against Cancer

Much study has been conducted on cinnamon being a potential use in cancer prevention and treatment. Though the studies have only been limited to test-tube and animal studies. The results do yield that the substance reduces the growth of cancer cells and the formation of blood vessels in tumors. This results in the toxic attack to cancer cells, causing cell death.

A study in mice has concluded that cinnamon is a potent activator of detoxifying enzymes in the colon, protecting against further cancer growth.

Some findings supported by test-tube experiments, showed that cinnamon activates protective antioxidant responses in human colon cells.

It is the animal and test-tube studies that show cinnamon as a protective agent against cancer.

May Help Fight Bacterial and Fungal Infections

Cinnamaldehyde is a main active component of cinnamon and may help fight various infections. This component has antifungal and antibacterial properties, which may reduce infections and help fight tooth decay and bad breath.

May Help Fight HIV Virus

HIV is known to slowly break down the immune system which can lead to aids. Cassia, which is extracted from cinnamon, is thought to help fight against HIV-1. This is the most common strain of the HIV virus in humans.

A laboratory study looking at HIV-infected cells discovered that cinnamon was the most effective treatment of the 69 medicinal plants studied.

 

Rose Petal Benefits

Rich in antioxidants and treatment of chronic diseases

Due to the main source of rose tea being polyphenols, the tea may lead to the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases.

Rich in anthocyanins

The urinary tract, eye health, improved memory, healthy aging, and a lower risk of some cancers, can be attributed to anthocyanins, a colored pigment.

May alleviate menstrual pain

Studies have shown that participants have concluded that drinking rose tea has less pain and that it may be suitable to treat menstrual pain.
