Tea is GOOD!

I have decided to make some lifestyle changes and one of it is... drinking TEA! In the past few days, I have gone on a tea trial and I love the effect it has on me. I felt calm and relaxed. I drank mostly green tea and then last night, I tried peppermint tea for dinner. I must say I enjoyed the experience. I wonder why it took me so long to like tea!

I bought the following caffeine-free herbal tea from Giant Mall, Kelana Jaya:

1. Twinings Green Tea & Apple
2. Twinings Peppermint
3. Dilmah Green Tea with Lemongrass
4. Dilmah Rosehip & Hibiscus
5. Dilmah Pure Camomile Flowers

Some tea facts:

• Green Tea: Rich in flavonoids, substances with powerful antioxidants properties protecting us from the harmful effects of free radicals.
• Peppermint: An excellent digestive herbs; good for stomach pains, dyspepsia, colic, nausea, and easing cold symptoms.
• Camomile: Relaxing and good for bedtime drink; gentle on urinary tract and soothes any inflammation there.
• Lemongrass: Good for digestive system and also for helping to relieve headaches.
• Rosehip: Excellent during a cold as it helps to boost the immune system
• Apple: A good detoxifier and is full of antioxidants, antibacterial and antiviral properties.

I will still be drinking coffee (I love, love coffee) but am now aiming to cut down on its intake. I want to drink more water and now adding herbal tea to the equation. Cheers to a healthier self!
