Health Benefits Of Tea

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

The teas are the most beneficial drink in the world. And there are health benefits taking it. Tea eases irritability, headaches, nervous tension and insomnia. And there are type of tea that are better for us and some are not.  The red tea, is an herbal tea that originated in Africa. It has been show to have many relaxing effects that help reduce a wide range of irritations and inflammations on the body. And it is one of the types of tea there are more such as the Black Tea, this type of tea is the un healthiest of all tea, it is the most consumed. It has the highest amount of caffeine and lowest amount of antioxidants. Another one is the White Tea. And this  kind of tea can be more expensive than other types of tea because it’s produces mostly in lesser quantities. This type of teas are made from new growth buds, shielded from sunlight and therefore had no chlorophyll.

And one of the bets is the Green tea. It is by far the healthiest of all tea. It’s tea leaves basically come from the same plant as black tea leaves. And because of that this coming Christmas I know what to give a tea Christmas gift baskets for my parents and Christmas cakes for  my brother and sister.

Balanced Immune Health

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Have you been paying attention to your health lately?  I am sure that you have been bombarded enough by the media about being healthy but sometimes it takes more than advertisements, article, and TV programs to get you started.  This month, one of my colleagues had a run in with gout and arthritis.  We are of the same age and we basically have the same lifestyle and naturally, this prompted me to re-examine my own health situation.

In my quest to start living healthily, I ran across this blog called Balanced Immune Health.  I like this blog because the point of view is more than losing weight for aesthetic purposes – it is not the run of the mill health blog.  It also injects humor and practical advice, which always makes thing more fun.
