After water, tea is the second most consumed beverage around the world. There are so many varieties and you find that some are more popular than others depending on the region, culture, age group and other factors. Due to this love and popularity of tea, we should all understand the potential health benefits that we can enjoy with every cup.
Antioxidant Power
Antioxidants protect our cells from free radicals which are naturally produced during metabolism or by exposure to environmental toxins. Free radicals in high amounts are linked to diseases such as heart disease, cancers and diabetes. Antioxidants can be found naturally inside the body but also in teas like Matcha, Green & Hibiscus teas!
Weight Management
Teas can be a wonderful compliment to a weight loss program. Our Innate Slim Tea provides antioxidant rich herbs that may increase metabolism, provide energy, detoxify the body & reduce inflammation.
Immune Support
Herbs contain polyphenols that help boost immune system function by protecting the body's tissues against oxidative stress. Polyphenols also promote good bacteria growth in your gut and limit harmful bacteria. Healthy gut flora is essential for a strong immune system. Innate Immunity tea contains powerful herbs that may boost your immune system like elderflower, liquorice root, spearmint leaf & ginger.
Reducing Stress & Anxiety
There's nothing better than grabbing a cuppa & enjoying it by a fire, a cozy couch or even in bed! Most teas contain the amino acid L-theanine, which promotes relaxation. In addition, some herbs have properties that promote sleep & relaxation such as chamomile, lemon balm leaf, lavender flower, passionflower & scull cap.

With a balanced lifestyle, teas can be very beneficial to our wellbeing. They can be used in many ways and promote a better quality of living when taken in moderation & incorporated into our daily routines.
