superheroes of food; they are<br />
nutrient-rich, low in calories<br />
and are considered to be<br />
extremely beneficial for one’s<br />

of the same, they can be<br />

Among many other types of tea that<br />
have already taken over the market,<br />
we predict that 2017 will put a box<br />
of rooibos tea in the kitchen of the<br />
health conscious out there. While<br />
locals in Africa have been drinking<br />
this tea since forever, it is only<br />
recently that exports have increased<br />
to other countries, including India.<br />
According to experts, this tea has 50<br />
times more antioxidants than green tea.<br />
It is also rich in Vitamin C, low in tannins<br />
and may ease digestive problems. Studies also<br />
show that this tea may help strengthen bones, teeth, and<br />
has a positive effect on the skin and hair. Anyone who<br />
has suffered from asthma, skin issues, eczema, insomnia,<br />
bone weakness or hypertension may also want to consider<br />
drinking rooibos tea. Most people prefer to drink this in<br />
its natural form, without any sweeteners. This red coloured<br />
drink is an excellent thirst quencher and does wonders<br />
for active people like professional athletes, hyperactive<br />
children, and of course, tea lovers. It is the ideal drink for<br />
those who simply refreshing drink without a caffeine boost.<br />
The small reddish-purple acai berry is actually a fruit that comes from<br />
the acai palm tree- and its shape is similar to that of a grape. Despite the<br />
several myths circling around it, acai berry a super foods which is full in<br />
anti-aging and weight loss properties. The acai fruit is prominently rich<br />
in antioxidants, and is packed with amino acids, fibre, essential fatty<br />
acids, vitamins and minerals. The fibre found in the berry’s pulp and skin<br />
can improve digestion and can even support a healthy cardiovascular<br />
system. Its high level of fatty acids shows a link between a healthy heart<br />
and a healthy nervous system, too. The amino acids promote muscle<br />
performance, energy production, endurance and strength. In short, acai<br />
berries are one of the small things that have the ability to make the<br />
biggest difference.<br />
