Tea Time!

Now is a great time to enjoy some refreshing and healthful tea.

Tea Time

When you are looking to add healthy choices to your life, drinking tea is a great addition to your daily schedule. When drinking tea, choose organic teas that can offer your body healthy benefits. Watch that you do not buy teas that are pre-sweetened. These teas add calories and may be made with unsafe sweeteners. Also avoid teas that come prepared in unsafe packaging such as those cute plastic bags, bleached materials, or such. These release toxic chemicals into your tea, which is not what you want. The best choice is to purchase loose leaf teas and herbs and to use your own natural teabag or diffuser. This is a safer choice.

Here are some teas that offer great health benefits:

• Herbal teas such as rose, passion, or chamomile
• Green Tea
• Rose Hips
• Sencha

Kombucha is the rage now, especially for those wanting to strengthen their microbiom. But check the ingredient label, not all Kombuchas are equal. Some include high amounts of sugar and some have been heated or pasteurized. This is done for killing microbes, but it also kills the live probiotics in the drink.
