Benefit Of Infusion by:Dr Frank

People have heard that tea is good for health but hardly know why

. All the different kinds of tea available on the market are good for health: black, green or red tea. They are rich in potent antioxidants which protect the body from damage caused by harmful toxic substances and free radicals. These substances come from an unhealthy lifestyle as the one of smokers, drinkers, and the one who eat junk food.

We usually find these same antioxidants in any product given by the nature: fruits and vegetables mostly.

Some studies even proclaim that drinking tea can reduce cancer risk. This includes carcers as gastrointestinal tract, skin and ovaries.

Among the famous kinds of tea, red tea which is made from rooibos wich is an indigenous herb tea from the Southwestern Cape region of South Africa. Rooibos tea contains no colors, additives or preservatives, making it a natural beverage. Unlike regular tea, it contains no caffeine, but is full of antioxidants. Some cultures drink this tea for the relief of hay fever, asthma and heartburn.

In Asia people believe more in green tea, which has a combination of several antioxidants, along with vitamins and minerals that, in hundreds of studies, have shown to have positive effects to our health. Looking at some of these studies green tea seems to help reduce blood pressure, help with sugar control, and also help reduce the rates of certain cancers.

But not only tea can be good for health, and other beverages as infusions which are concoctions made from parts of plants or trees can help you to reduce some disease risks.

For example chamomile is believed to improve digestion and help to relax. Chamomile offers many benefits and has a long history of use as both a medicinal herb and a tea. In fact, chamomile has an impressive pedigree backed up by medical research, and is understood to help a variety of conditions. Chamomile can be used safely for a long period of time to nurture the nervous system, among other systems of the body.

These herbal infusions are called tisanes, and can be made with fresh or dried flowers, leaves, seeds or roots, generally by pouring boiling water over the plant parts and letting them steep for a few minutes. Seeds and roots can also be boiled on a stove. The most famous is linden (lime leaf) tea.

So even if we can't be sure that these drinks are good for our health, we, at least, are sure that they are not bad, so it's something to add on your shopping list next time you will go to the supermarket.
