We all know – or possibly are – that person who drinks copious amount of tea. Boiling the kettle, choosing your plant of choice and allowing it to brew for the optimum amount of time, before sitting back and allowing it to soothe your body is a great way to pass time.
But tea is a lot more powerful than most would consider and different kinds of tea help your body in various ways, depending on the ingredients. There are teas to help you sleep, or to wake you up, assist in digestion, or for your blood pressure – all thanks to polyphenols (a type of antioxidant) and phytochemicals found in the plants used.
A great way to go is by choosing a blend for what your body requires.
Tea for him:
One such interesting blend is Man Tea. It is full of ingredients with high antioxidant properties that assist in cleansing your body right down to a cellular level. It is ideal for speedy recoveries post workout, treating inflammation and allowing for muscle growth. But that’s not just all, it also helps maintain muscle mass. Say what?
By benefiting your gut, the tea can increase absorption for your body to readily convert this to energy, which in turn boosts your ability to train. It means that you grow stronger more rapidly and that your recovery is quicker – so you can train harder.
Muscles (just like all parts of your body) require specific nutrients to be fed and fuelled – and as much as protein is important for muscle growth, it’s just one component. Herbal elements within the Man Tea blend assist in normal hormone production, making your body work smarter, not harder. Kinda amazing, right?
Tea for her:
But if you’re not a keen athlete and you want something as effective, yet a little less concentrative on the muscles, there’s obviously an answer for you, too: Tiny Teatox.
Touted as a natural weight loss blend, the very simple herbs within Tiny Teatox aim to help the stomach relax, just as any basic herbs can. The stomach is the ‘pit’ that the food arrives into and the spleen is like the organ that assimilates foods, draws out the essentials, sends the nutrients around the body to nourish and heal and the bad out to the bowel as waste. And when this is all happening smoothly, the body is happy – it assists in keeping our weight in check too – because if the bad is being sent out as waste, toxins can’t build up in our body.
But when this system is a little wonky, some side effects we may notice are weight gain, general fatigue, headaches and constipation or diarrhea. And when the body isn’t digesting properly, we may not be receiving the nutrients we require. Yet the ingredients of Tiny Teatox can maximise the inner working of your gut by creating the right environment for digestion.
Just a heads up – men can’t actually drink Tiny Teatox. It causes constipation issues for many males because men already have a higher core temperature than women, and the Tiny Teatox warms the gut to assist with digestion. The gut requires just the right temperature – otherwise if it’s too warm or too cool, constipation will happen. Women, on the other hand, CAN have Man Tea as it is concentrated on the muscles.
Tea is a wonderfully powerful additive to your diet, and, based on ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, Your Tea blends make perfect sense.
