Why Should I Drink Hibiscus Tea?

Why Should I Drink Hibiscus Tea?

Because Hibiscus Tea contains ANTHOCYANINS!

What are Anthocyanins?

Anthocyanins are anti-inflammatory flavonoids that help reduce your chances of suffering from chronic disease such as: cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, & high cholesterol, just to name a few. Reduce inflammation = reduce chronic disease.

Anthocyanins are found in red, blue, & purple produce: hibiscus, cherries, blueberries, cranberries, grapes, pomegranates, eggplant, red cabbage, purple cauliflower…

SHOP Future Love’s delicious teas that are high in anthocyanins & other antioxidants:

Organic Hydrating Hibiscus Elderberry Antioxidant Tea

Organic Coconut Ginger Antioxidant Green Tea

Organic Rosehip Orange Apple Anti-Inflammatory Herbal Tea

Even if you’re a busy person, a great way to increase your intake of anthocyanins is through TEA!

Incorporating anthocyanins into your daily diet is a great way to reduce inflammation before it starts!

Anthocyanins contain super powerful antioxidant properties that fight free radicals! Say goodbye to inflammation!

Below is a list of foods with high anthocyanin content:

You might notice that there is a wide range of nutrient content in these foods… for example, how do mulberries, on average, have a range of anthocyanin content from 1.4 to 704 mg per 100g serving?

The answer is this: the quality & nutrient content of foods vary drastically depending upon:

-growing area (soil matters a lot!)

-climate (is it being grown in the appropriate climate?)

-season (is it being grown in-season or out-of-season?)

-light exposure (did it receive more or less sun while it was growing?)

-harvest time (example: how long it’s been since it was picked)

-storing temperature (certain vegetables retain more/less of certain nutrients depending on whether they are refrigerated or left out)

If you want to maximize your nutrient intake from these foods, eat them raw & at the peak of ripeness… and ideally within 3 days of being picked!
