In the colder temperatures, you may consume less healthy foods, which can cause that can cause some digestive problems. Therefore, drinking tea with the ginger element – 2 to 3 cups daily, especially before meals – will be helpful in improving digestion and increasing absorption of food. Moreover, ginger tea is recognised as a diaphoretic tea, which can help relieve congestion associated with the common cold – because it will warm you from the inside and also promote perspiration.
– Cinnamon: is a popular spice that contains desirable and powerful medicinal properties. The antioxidants in cinnamon have an anti-inflammatory effect, which may help reduce your risk of diseases such as a stroke or heart attack. In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, cinnamon bark oil is indicated as the active ingredient for treating flatulence and helping alleviate digestive imbalance. It is believed that the warmth of cinnamon increases blood flow and improves blood oxygen levels to help fight off illness. Many researchers have stated that cinnamon is one of the spices richest in antioxidants and therefore drinking tea with cinnamon as an ingredient may increase your body’s ability to fight off free radicals, keeping you healthy and protecting you from the disease.
– Clove: is a nutritious spice element, that is low in calories and also provides some levels of fibre, manganese, vitamin K and vitamin C. Due to containing several important vitamins and minerals, cloves are rich in antioxidants, including eugenol and vitamin C, both of which can help decrease oxidative stress and help protect the liver. Drinking tea with a clove element will bring you warmth during cold weather, as well as help to regulate the blood sugar.
