| Rooibos Tea |
|
Rooibos tea acts as an antioxidant that slows the ageing process, prevents cancer and lowers the risk of cardio-vascular disease. Flavonoids are powerful antioxidants and have more antioxidant activity than vitamin C. Rooibos is packed full of flavonoids and therefore the antioxidant activity of Rooibos is much stronger than that of black or green tea. This tea also acts as a digestive aid and relieves stomach cramps, helps manage allergies and aids health problems like insomnia, irritability, headaches, nervous tension and hypertension. Replenishes iron levels, and is caffeine free, therefore is very good for pregnant women. It is high in essential minerals including copper, iron and potassium, healthy skin minerals: zinc, sodium, zinc and alpha-hydroxy acid and calcium, fluoride and manganese for strong bones and teeth and magnesium for the nervous system. |
