I drink herbal tea more than
anything else and I am so thankful that I have discovered so many
different herbal teas because they all benefit me and my health in
different ways it has honestly changed my health for the better. You
can get such a range of flavours that going back to fizzy drinks and
milkshakes would be a stupid idea. I used to drink coke like water
but after discovering herbal tea I have stayed away from coke a lot
more unless I am going out for a meal or out drinking alcohol. When
I'm at home all I drink is herbal tea and water and maybe coffee. I
am going to go through the different herbal teas I drink on a regular
basis and how they have helped me. I would encourage anyone who if
not already to drink herbal teas, some might not be the nicest of
tastes but for health reasons they are worth drinking.
Peppermint tea – I drink
peppermint tea instead of coffee because it walks you up without
having the negative affects such as an immediate high that coffee
gives you plus as someone who finds it hard to sleep at night coffee
is always a bad idea. As well as making you feel more awake I find
that peppermint tea relaxes me and stops me getting as stressed which
ironically helps me more than coffee. Peppermint tea also contains
less calories and is perfect for if you're lactose intolerant. If you
have IBS like me then peppermint is good for the stomach and doesn't
cause stomach ache like coffee does. It can also benefit IBS and
sooth the stomach. Peppermint tea is also perfect if you feel sick or
nauseous.
Lemon and Ginger tea –
This is more of a flavoured tea than a herbal tea however I wanted to
mention this one because it helps me feel energised when I have the
flu plus added honey also makes it even better for when you've got a
cold. It's also a tea I like to drink regularly plus I like the
taste. Ginger is good for the digestive system and when you feel
nauseous and sick so a definite tea to drink when you're ill.
Green tea – Green tea now
comes in so many different flavours that there is no excuse not to
drink it. Some of my favourite flavours are gingerbread, salted
caramel and mango and lychee. There are so many health benefits to
drinking green tea that you will feel really good after drinking it.
I find that green tea helps my performance when exercising, it helps
cleanse the body, helps keep your skin clear, helps with
concentration and reducing weight gain and can help with weight loss
if that's what you want. Drinking green tea after a meal helps you
feel fuller for longer.
Camomile tea – Camomile
tea has probably helped me the most out of all the different teas I
drink because I have such a problem with getting to sleep and feeling
relaxed when it's time to sleep. After drinking camomile tea I
instantly feel relaxed and stressful I must admit it isn't the nicest
of flavours however you can get camomile tea with different flavours
such as spiced apple and vanilla. I have had the vanilla and camomile
one and that one tasted a lot better than camomile on its own. If I
am feeling stressed out in the day then I will make sure I drink
camomile because it relaxes me in a way nothing else can. Camomile
tea is also good for your skin, weight management, when you're
feeling anxious or nervous, good for a cold and also a big benefit
for girls which is soothes menstrual cramps.
Slimatee – Smilatee is
mainly used to detox the body as it helps with constipation,
feeling bloated and weight less. I do not use it for weight loss but to
detox the body of anything bad or if I've eaten lots lately and I
start getting bloated I talk one cup at night and then it does it's
business in the morning. I wouldn't suggest this drink on a regular
basis but just for those days when you feel really bloated or
suffering constipation.
I still want to try other
types of tea such as earl grey and more spiced teas but these are all
the teas I drink regularly that help me in a variety of ways. Let me
know your thoughts on herbal teas.
