Rooibos Herbal Infusion

Health Benefits: Rooibos is a caffeine-free alternative to green and black tea because of the comparison to antioxidant levels. Rooibos contains the flavonol aspalathin. Aspalathin has been linked to cell viability in support of skin health. Without the stimulating effects of caffeine Rooibos is ideal for anytime of the day. It is also low in tannins which makes it milder and easier to assist in absorbing nutrients. It also supports relaxation with its calming properties and hydration. Great for blood sugar management as the antioxidant aspalathin influences fatty acid synthesis and oxidation and supports glucose metabolism.

Region: “Red bush” or Aspalathus linearis, is broom-like member of the plant family Fabaceae that grows in South Africa’s fynbos biome. It is indigenous to the mountainous region of Cederberg just north of Cape Town. With periods of significant rainfall, the plant blooms in early spring with yellow-colored flowers. Each flower produces a legume with a single seed inside that pops out when ripe and lands on dry ground around the plant.

Calories

A measure of energy that is processed during digestion. Energy allows cells to perform their bodily functions which enables the body to build protein.

Sodium

Is an essential nutrient for maintenance of plasma volume, acid-base balance, transmission of nerve impulses and normal cell function. Sodium regulates fluid, balances ions, helps retain water, removes excess CO2, develops the brain, and improves teeth. Sodium is one of the most important electrolytes and one of the most essential ions present in extracellular fluid.

Carbohydrates

Macronutrients are sugars, starches, and fiber found in certain food and drinks. Carbohydrates are your body’s main source of fuel. Once broken down by your digestive system the bloodstream begins to absorb glucose. Your body then releases insulin which directs the glucose to your cells for energy.

Sugar

Sugar is fuel for the brain. Eating sugar gives an immediate boost to the energy levels of the body and is important for proper brain function. Glucose is a form of sugar found in natural sweeteners, fruit, and vegetables. Sugar triggers a dopamine rush which helps us develop a happier mood. The process glycogenesis also happens when sugar is stored and released when we are fasting or sleeping.

Potassium

Is a mineral classified as an electrolyte because it’s highly reactive in water producing positively charged ions. It helps the body regulate fluid, send nerve signals, and regulate muscle functionality.

Manganese

Is a mineral that contributes to good thyroid health, helps the body utilize vitamins, helps carry blood throughout the body by enlarging veins, plays a role in blood sugar regulation, and helps assist enzymes that build bone.
