Tea Time – Green, Red, and Black Tea Specialty teas have gained popularity in coffeehouses across the nation. Coffeehouses? It may seem unlikely that coffee drinkers would turn to a hot cup of tea, but the innumerable health benefits have made tea the latest craze. According to the Tea Council of the USA, national tea sales have grown from $1.8 billion to $6.9 billion in the last decade. Along with tea being a popular menu item in coffeehouses across the nation, more than 2,400 teahouses have opened to meet the growing demand. Tea Basics Green and Black tea, camellia sinesis, are fermented or dried leaves often cultivated in Asia and Eastern Europe. Red Tea, Aspalathus linearis, is cultivated in South Africa. The different degree of processing determines the type of tea that will be produced. Tealeaves become darker when they are processed longer (black tea), whereas leaves that are simply steamed retain their color (green tea). Strengthen Immunity Green, red, and black teas contain immune-strengthening components that effectively stimulate various defense mechanisms to ward off viruses and infections. Tea’s rich source of polyphenols offers antioxidant activity to prevent the development of free radicals. Researchers have found that catechins, specific polyphenols found in tea, increase T-cell proliferation to boost immunity and suppress foreign antigens(1). Additionally, catechins can fight infections, as one study found they strengthen immunity among patients with respiratory infections(2). Green Tea – Balanced health in only 3 weeks Just in time for the stressful holiday season, a recent study found green tea supplements can lower blood pressure, cholesterol and reduce oxidative stress in only three weeks. A study published in the Nutrition journal recruited 72 healthy women and 52 healthy men to take a daily green tea extract (200 mg green tea, 100 mg L-theanine) or a placebo for three weeks. Researchers concluded green tea can balance moderate high blood pressure, elevated LDL cholesterol, and elevated inflammation markers that indicate oxidative stress(3). Fat Metabolism - Too much Stuffing Holiday gatherings bring favored seasonal foods to the table, but too much of a good thing can leave you feeling drowsy and ill. Green tea can reduce these symptoms of “overindulging” by optimizing fat metabolism. Green Tea contains epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) constituents, which have thermogenic and fat oxidizing capabilities. EGCG regulates fat oxidation, weight, and insulin sensitivity(4). NutraTea – Effective Combination NUTRAscriptives' Nutra Tea is a superior blend of green, black and red tea extracts sourced from European and South African extractors.
