Are you looking for a delicious and healthy beverage to add to your daily routine? Look no further than rooibos tea! Renowned for its smooth, naturally sweet taste, rooibos tea has also gained a reputation as a powerhouse of health benefits. In this post, we’ll delve into the incredible properties of the LMC Rooibos Collection and explore why it should be your go-to drink for a healthier you.
FIGHT DISEASES NATURALLY
Rooibos is a good source of antioxidants and is the only known source of a potent antioxidant aspalathin, which could play a role in combating several lifestyle diseases. These antioxidants bind with free radicals to lower oxidative stress, combatting cholesterol, high blood pressure and heart diseases. Research has shown that it can help to reduce high blood sugar levels which could help to prevent diabetes type 2. Animal research studies have also shown it to have cancer-fighting properties. Rooibos is naturally low in tannin and doesn’t interfere with iron absorption. Stomach and indigestion problems like nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomach ulcers and constipation can also be relieved by drinking rooibos tea.
HEALTHY LIVING & WEIGHTLOSS
Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free (unlike black & green tea), kilojoule-free & preservative-free, which also supports weight loss.
ALLEVIATE ALLERGIES
Rooibos is also known to alleviate allergies such as asthma, hay fever and eczema. It has a soothing effect on the skin, helps to relieve itching and certain skin irritations like eczema, nappy rash and acne when directly applied to the affected area.
SKINCARE & ANTI-AGEING
New research also indicates that application of rooibos on the skin after sunburn, can prevent permanent damage to the skin. Studies have established that rooibos protects preadipocytes – the predominant cells found in fat tissue – from degenerating and therefore could reverse the onset of age-related diseases and even keep wrinkles at bay. The study further proved that rooibos can partially restore the function of these aged cells and that both fermented and green rooibos can protect cells from severe oxidative stress, which firmly establishes rooibos as an anti-ageing proponent.
TIP: add teabags to your next bath or use steeped teabags on your eyes to hydrate the soft skin and reduce inflammation.
MENTAL HEALTH
It’s also a naturally relaxing drink at night to assist with a good night’s sleep as it is soothing to the nervous system.
