All You Need to Know About BRW Society’s Functional Teas
By Laura Jane Manning
Tea has been around for centuries and is enjoyed by millions of people all over the world.
But what many people don't know is that not all tea is created equal.
Functional tea is a specific type of tea that has health benefits beyond just satisfying your thirst or giving you a caffeine boost.
In this blog post, we'll explore what functional tea is, how you can use it to cure lots of ailments and some of BRW Society's top functional teas that you can incorporate into your daily routine.
So let's get started!
Health Benefits of functional tea
Before we dive into the specific health benefits of functional tea, let's first take a look at some of the general benefits that all tea provides.
This will make it easier for you to make a comparison.
Tea is loaded with antioxidants which help to detoxify your body and remove harmful toxins. It also helps to improve circulation, boost your metabolism and aid in weight loss.
But what makes functional tea so special is that it provides all of these benefits PLUS additional health benefits specific to the type of tea you are drinking.
For example, green tea is known for its cancer-fighting properties, black tea is great for boosting your immune system and chamomile tea is a natural relaxant that can help relieve stress and anxiety.
So now that you know a little bit about the general benefits of functional tea, let's take a look at some of the specific benefits that each type of tea can provide.
Green Tea: Green tea is one of the most popular types of functional tea and for good reason! It has a wide range of health benefits that include cancer prevention, weight loss, improved cardiovascular health and reduced risk of diabetes.
Black Tea: Black tea is known for its immune-boosting properties. It can help to reduce the severity and duration of colds and flu, as well as protect against other respiratory infections.
Oolong Tea: Oolong tea is perfect for those looking to lose weight or improve their digestion. It helps to boost your metabolism and promote weight loss, while also aiding in the absorption of nutrients from food.
Herbal Tea: Herbal tea is a great choice for people looking for a caffeine-free alternative to black or green tea. It is packed with antioxidants and other health-promoting nutrients that can help to improve your overall health.
