Here’s how we know tea helps you boost your immune system.

1. Studies suggest the teas have nourishing ingredients that can kill bacteria and inhibit viruses like the influenza virus(flu). Thus, lowering your risk of infections.

2. Green tea can reduce your risk of Streptococcus mutans. These are harmful bacteria that can develop in the mouth, causing plaque. With plaque in your mouth, you are sure to experience cavities, tooth decay, and bad breath. However, with a regular cup of green tea every day, you can reduce or in fact, remove the plaque and kill the bacteria to maintain the health of your teeth. And also keep yourself from embarrassment that bad breath can bring.

3. Green tea has been proven to reduce your risk of cardiovascular diseases and also help you maintain weight.

The secret of immunity?

Apart from ayurvedic herbs like turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, tulsi, etc., which are only blended with the tea leaves later, it’s the antioxidants that help your immunity. Wondering what these are?

Antioxidants are compounds that help fight free radicals from damaging our cells. These free radicals are developed during metabolism when the molecules break down. Since these are unstable molecules (with a missing electron), they steal electrons from the neighboring cells, while damaging them in return. This harms the proteins, lipids, and DNA. antioxidants give these free radicals the missing electron they are searching for and prevent the damage from happening. With less damage in your body, your cells stay strong and are capable of fighting any virus or bacteria that may want to start a battle.

Without antioxidants, the damage to the cells ie., oxidative stress can lead to diseases like Parkinson’s, cancer, coronary heart disease, and skin ageing. The free radicals when accumulated may also cause toxicity which harms the brain and heart as well.

Now, if you have the question whether any other foods are also enriched with antioxidants. The answer is yes. Antioxidants are found in fruits and veggies as well. But, consuming tea is the easiest and tastiest way to incorporate antioxidants in your diet.

Now, the question is, which kinds of teas? Black tea, green tea, or best oolong tea or white. In fact, there are innumerable varieties of teas under these categories as well available at Teafloor. Which ones are good for your health and immunity?

While all teas are great for health and will certainly help you get healthier, there are some blends that are much more effective than the rest.

Here are two such teas.

1. ImmuneG+ Tea

Green+ (ImmuneG+) is green tea brought directly from Assam and masterfully blended with herbs like Lemon-Tulsi, Cinnamon, and Ginger.

Tulsi or the ‘mother’s medicine’ has anti-bacterial properties and is also great at improving metabolism, relieving stress and in defying the ill-effects of ageing. Lemon brings with some antioxidants in the form of vitamin c, which is already well known to boost immunity.

Cinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties and is another ingredient loaded with antioxidants. Ginger is known since ancient times as a remedy against cold, nausea and flu and is also great at improving digestion.

With all these powerful ingredients is blended the omnipotent green tea. Why omnipotent? Well, because it is loaded up to the brim with antioxidants. The secret to this is that its leaves aren’t fermented or oxidised to a great level, unlike other tea leaves. So, it retains all the antioxidants that teas are blessed with. Especially the catechin, EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate). This particular antioxidant gives commendable results in improving one’s immune system by removing free radicals from the body.

Now, if you love tea bags more than loose tea, because of their convenience. We don’t want to leave you disappointed. That’s the reason why we bring the same immuneG+ tea in a pack of 25 tea bags as well. This means you get the same nourishment along with more convenience. Now, you have no excuse to not make your health flourish with this highly effective immunity tea that we have for you.

Here are some immune booster teas:

Varieties of green tea have been consumed for centuries for their beneficial properties. Green Teas are rich in anti-oxidants called Polyphenols. Polyphenols are efficient infection fighters. They protect the body against potential viruses, infections and sickness. Chamomile green tea is known to boost immune system of the body by de-stressing the body and mind. It promotes the growth of White Blood Cells, which are the biggest infection fighters. Green tea blended with Tulsi, Mulethi and Ginger help keep diseases like asthma, lung infection, cough etc at bay, while flavours like Ashwagandha and Nettle Leaves impede the growth of cancer cells in the body and stimulate the lymphatic system. The anti-oxidants of green tea help rid the body of free radicals, and make the liver healthy.

2. Oolong Tea
Oolong teas have an enticing aroma that is perfect for any morning. In comparison to green or white tea, it is high in caffeine, which is best to kick start you day and energise your body without letting it crash. The catechins present in oolong tea are essential in fighting against obesity and liver fat. Studies also suggest that 10 ounces of oolong in a week can reduce the levels of bad cholesterol in your body, therefore protecting your body against dangerous heart diseases.

The antioxidants work on protecting the various organs of the body, while also eliminate free radicals that can potentially damage blood cells, DNA and collagen. White tea may also provide some relief from diabetic symptoms by decreasing your plasma glucose levels and increase insulin secretion. Antibacterial properties of this tea can help fight against infections while it’s soothing effects aid in relief from insomnia, stress and fatigue.

Largely consumed in the mornings, black tea is rich in antioxidants like polyphenols, catechins and flavonoids that help remove free radicals from the body to keep the body healthy and toxin free. Some catechins present in the tea help kill certain viruses. Black tea is known to be anti-cancerous and has bad cholesterol reducing properties. One of the major difference between black tea and all the other teas is that it contains minerals like Potassium and Manganese, which work incredibly to boost immune systems. The tannins present in black teas don’t just give it its characteristic earthy taste, but also help fight against viruses such as influenza (“the flu”), dysentery, and hepatitis. It also contains alkaline antigens, which help boost immune response. Flavours like Peppermint have traces of calcium, vitamin B, and potassium along with other anti-oxidants, which help your body absorb nutrients better and fight illnesses. Not only this, a cup of black tea in the morning is the best way to kick your morning lethargy away.

As the winds take a turn to a chillier side, your bodies become vulnerable to ailments like cold, cough, flu and gastroenteritis. It is always a great idea to keep your immune system working at its peak. What’s better than a cup of tea that boosts your immune system and keeps you healthy while playing the perfect companion on a chilly morning.
