The new year often brings about resolutions centered around health. We often hear that green tea is touted as the best beverage around but why is that?
Green tea was discovered accidentally in China when Chinese Emperor Shennong drank water that had a dead tea leaf boiled in it. He found the flavour incredibly refreshing, and thus, a new beverage emerged. At first, Green tea was only available to the highest tiers of Chinese society, and it was also incrediblly expensive. During the 14th century, tea became widely available to the general public for enjoyment and medicinal purposes. It traveled West in the 19th century with European explorers and arrived in America when it shipped overseas with the settlers.
In the last few decades, the popularity of green tea has grown tremendously. You can now find a great variety of green tea beverages at most coffee and tea shops. In addition to its versatile flavours, it appears that the more we learn about this amazing tea, the more impressive and beneficial it becomes.
Green tea is made from the Camellia Sinensis plant, as is black tea. The difference is that Green Tea is unfermented, which means that the powerful antioxidant properties are fully intact. The power of Green Tea lies in its catechin polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants.
Calli® and Fortune Delight® are two tea products from Sunrider®. Rather than developing products based on marketing hype or fad ingredients, Dr. Tei-Fu Chen bases all Sunrider products on a powerful philosophy—the Philosophy of Regeneration®, which prones an approach based on balance (yin and yang); nourishing and cleansing our bodies. Couple that with the fact that Dr. Tei-Fu Chen is a renowned herbalist with a degree in pharmacy, and you get a product that is made with highly concentrated top-notch ingredients.
Calli Tea provides all the benefits of green tea plus more thanks to its unique concentration of herbal ingredients such as camellia leaf, perilla leaf, mori bark extract, alisma root extract, and imperate root. And because of its herbal concentration, one Calli Tea bag can make four cups of tea.
Here are 5 healthy reasons why you should seriously consider adding these great beverages to your daily routine:
1. DetoxificationBased on the philosophy of regeneration, Calli and Fortune Delight help cleanse our bodies by detoxifying them. The catechins found in the Camillia sinensis plant aid the body in the natural cleansing process and absorb harmful free radicals before they can do any damage to our bodies. Calli Tea is also alkaline, so it creates an environment in our body which prohibits the absorption of impurities and toxins during the normal digestive process.
2. DigestionThe detoxifying properties of Calli Tea help during digestion, aiding in the natural elimination of waste without laxatives or diuretics. The cinnamon version of Calli Tea can help digestion even more due to the fact that cinnamon has been known to soothe tummy aches and nausea.
3. Antibacterial
Camillia sinensis can also act as an antibacterial to combate infections. Calli tea also contains lemon herbal extracts, which also has antibacterial properties. Because of these ingredients, drinking Calli tea can help ease the common cold symptoms
4. Respiratory
Camillia sinensis is also prescribed by herbalists to treat asthma and other respiratory ailments. Another ingredient in Calli tea – the Chrysanthemum flower – can help with sinus congestion and allergy symptoms, as well as helping the lungs get stronger. The Mint Calli tea is ideal if you’re suffering from a cold as the mint’s aroma can help open up congested noses, lungs and throats.
5. Relaxation
Like most herbal teas, Calli tea offers the same soothing effects, helping calm the mind and alleviate stress. Calli Night, another flavour of the Calli tea, is perfect to promote relaxation and a restful night of sleep thanks to ingredients like passion flower, ho shou wu, jujube seed, poria, camellia leaf, sage root, rose hip, imperate root, and winter melon seed.
Fortune Delight is another tea product from Sunrider; unlike Calli, Fortune Delight doesn't come in tea bag form but rather as a concentrated powder and therefore can be mixed with hot or cold water and doesn't require brewing.
Fortune Delight is a naturally revitalizing herbal beverage designed to cleanse as well as nourish the body. It is formulated with an aromatic blend of concentrated herbal extracts containing polyphenols, bioflavonoids, and tea catechins all none sources of antioxidants. Fortune Delight also contains electrolytes, aids in the digestion process and makes a great addition to a weight management program.
Even celebrities such as Halle Berry enjoy these two products on a daily basis.
