Learn About These 8 Awesome Beauty Benefits Of Drinking Tea

Tea has been known since ancient times to possess health benefits. Tea is being extensively consumed especially in China. In all its forms- black, green and red, tea provides the body essential anti oxidants and has anti ageing components as well. So it improves your overall health both from the inside and the outside.

 

Improves Digestion

Herbal or black tea has amazing components and the powerful anti oxidants with which it is loaded, and they play a vital role in improving the digestion of our body. Regular consumption of 2-3 cups of tea especially an hour before your meals will prevent bloating and water retention in the body. Also, your food is digested fast and you do not feel the usual sloppiness which is very frequent after lunch or dinner.

 

Increases Metabolism

Black Tea or Green Tea with a dash of lemon juice in it is often recommended for weight watchers or overweight people, usually right in the morning. Tea is loaded with powerful nutrients that kick metabolism right in the morning with the very first cup. Fitness experts and Yoga trainers often advise people to consume a cup of green or black tea before working out, as it makes you sweat a lot, thereby reducing weight.

 

Strengthens Immunity

Regular consumption of green or black tea makes your immune system very strong and usually prevents petty diseases and allergies. Anti oxidants make your immune system strong enough to fight any foreign bacteria or virus, and hence keeps you healthy for a longer period of time.

 

Effective In Treating Under Eye Skin

Cooled tea bags are very effective in treating dark circles under your eyes. It can be quite irritating to always hide your skin under a concealer. And possibilities are that you have not come across any permanent treatment for dark circles. Having puffy eyes right in the morning feels really annoying. Try keeping cooled tea bags on closed eyes and let it stay for 20 minutes. Rinse with fresh water and moisturize your skin. You will see the difference in two days.

 

Gives Luscious Hair

Tea water is used as an effective conditioner that is rich in natural conditioning elements for your hair. Dull, limp and lifeless hair can be treated very effectively with water immersed in black tea bags. Shampoo your hair and give the last rinse with tea water. You will notice the luscious, silky texture of your hair and the sparkle in your hair and will be there for everyone to notice.

 

Antidote For Insect Bite

Very few people are aware that tea bags are very effective in treating bug bites and insect bites too. Rub tea bags wherever the insect has stung and in a few minutes the pain and irritation of the sting will break down and reduce.

 

Detoxifies

Drinking herbal tea and black tea, 2-3 cups a day helps in flushing out toxins and impurities from your body. This in turn makes your skin glow and gives you a light and healthy feeling. Flushing out toxins also boosts your moods, curbs depression and stress and makes you feel happy. You mind becomes more alert and focused.

Eating A Rainbow: Is Your Nutrition This Easy?

Supermarkets have so much choice, it’s easy to just pick up the same ingredients and make similar meals. Just mixing up the fruit and vegetables we regularly buy could have a great impact on the nutrition levels of our diet. This simple guide suggests buying by colour, so we simply pick and choose a few of these to go in our trolleys, making sure we get at least one from every category every time we go grocery shopping.

Red

Lots of red foods are packed with anti-oxidants and nature has given us so many to choose from. For a sweet, succulent snack we can go for any kind of berry, including raspberries and strawberries, to brighten up our meals. The fruits’ carotenoids, Vitamin C, folic acid and fibre content can protect us from heart disease and cancer. Red cabbage is another kind of food packed with nutrients, including Vitamins K, D and A, which help to build strong bones. It’s also low in calories so will suit those of us who are trying to lose weight. To give our immune systems a boost and help our vision, sweet potatoes are the ideal addition to our trolleys because of their Vitamin A content. We can reduce our cholesterol and further increase the anti-oxidants in our diets by making sure we put some red peppers on our shopping list too.

Green

One very important colour to include in our baskets is green. The benefits of green, leafy vegetables are well-known with some of them being classed as superfoods. This applies to kale, which can make a change to broccoli. Kale also has high Vitamin A, C and K levels and can help us fight off free radical damage. Another popular green vegetable is spinach, which makes a healthy option because it contains potassium for a healthy heart and anti-ageing phytochemicals.

Yellow

The seeds themselves may not be classed as yellow, but the plant sunflower seeds grow into can be! Stocking up on these seeds means you can add lots of nutrients to your meals, including anti-inflammatory nutrient Vitamin E and phytosterols, which lowers cholesterol. You can add them to salads, and when you feel like having just a fruit salad then there are lots of yellow varieties to choose from. Vitamin A-packed grapefruits provide protective effects from cancer and honeydew melons contain copper to repair cells and Vitamin C for a healthy immune system. All of these foods contain many different kinds of nutrients and eating those that have different colours is a good way to make sure your diet is varied.
