Lately a lot of interest has been generated in scientific circles and among consumers about nutrient-rich "Super Fruits". Articles in magazines, newspapers and even word-of-mouth comments have focused on such super fruits as noni, pomegranate, mangosteen, açaí , and even traditional blueberries. Laboratory and clinical studies have shown that the nutrients in these foods – many of which are found uniquely in that fruit only – have many healthful benefits and have reconfirmed the traditional wisdom of adding these foods to the diet.
One thing that they all seem to have in common is a high-level of anti-oxidants – important nutrients that help our bodies fight against free radical damage. Free radicals are molecules or chemicals that are unstable and can come from the environment or can be made within our own bodies. When these come in contact with healthy cells, the free radicals can cause the cells to breakdown and age prematurely. Anti-oxidant nutrients can neutralize these unstable chemicals or molecules and prevent them from causing the problems to our cells. Different anti-oxidants work against different types of free radicals or protect different cells – so getting a variety of anti-oxidants in our diets is very important.
White Tea Blend has built on the nutrient-rich extracts of green tea and white tea by adding extracts and fruit powders of these important Super Fruits. We have selected the best Super Fruits from different areas of the world to ensure the balance and the widest array of important nutrients. The result is a unique blend that gives the synergistic benefits of tea and the super fruits. Below is a short description of each of the super fruits in White Tea Blend. We are sure that you will find their addition to this formula to be an added boost to your overall health plan.
Origin: Pacific Islands
Key Nutrients:
Anti-oxidant flavones, potassium, bioflavonoids (especially rutin), Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids
Health Benefits:
- Supports healthy immune system
- Potassium helps to maintain electrolyte balance and helps to reduce fluid retention
This relative of the mulberry grows on small evergreen trees in the Pacific Islands. Although the plant and fruit are relatively plain and unremarkable, the focus on this “super fruit” has been nothing short of remarkable. Traditionally, the native Polynesians used the fruit and carious parts of the tree as a complete medicine chest to treat a variety of conditions ranging from simple and minor skin complaints to major health concerns. Recent studies have supported much of these traditional usages – especially when it comes to supporting the immune system.
In the White Tea Blend, Noni helps to ensure that optimal health Is maintained. The levels of potassium in Noni and the content of trace minerals also help to support proper electrolyte balance an prevent fluid retention. This is especially helpful when White Tea Blend is used as part of an overall program to lose excess weight.
Origin: Southeast Asia
Key Nutrients:
Anti-oxidants xanthones, vitamins and trace minerals
Health Benefits:
- Helps to maintain healthy digestive system
- Supports overall immune response
- Improves mood and supports mental health
This “super fruit” comes from tropical Southeast Asia where it has been consumed for thousands of years. When European explorers came to this region in search of important spices, they came to know this fruit and appreciated its many qualities. Some historical stories claim that this fruit was one of Queen Victoria’s favorites and this, along with the high nutritional content of mangosteen, led to its nickname “Queen of Fruits.” Mangosteen fruits and rind contain high levels of xanthones – especially unique xanthones; alpha-mangostin, beta-mangostin and gamma-mangostin. Research into these important anti-oxidants has shown important immune-enhancing activity.
Like the addition of Noni to the White Tea Blend formula, the addition of Mangosteen provides good support to the immune system and helps to promote positive health.
Origin: Amazon
Key Nutrients: Anti-oxidant anthocyanins and other flavones, important MUFA (mono-unsaturated fatty acids) and PUFA (poly-unsaturated fatty acids) lipids
Health Benefits:
- Helps to protect against free radical damage
- Supports overall health
Pronounced “ah-saw-ee”, this super fruit is a berry found in the jungles of the Amazon. It has a high level of nutrients including proteins and lipids. This has made it an important food and medicine for the native tribes in Brazil and the Amazon Rainforest. The anti-oxidant effects of this fruit are due to the pigments in the fruits skin and pulp. These contain powerful anthocyanins and other flavonoids. Since these berries contain such a wide range of anti-oxidants, they have been sued for helping to maintain overall health and to fight against free radical damage throughout the body.
When beginning any new weight-loss program, there van be an tendency for the body to generate extra free-radicals as more fat is metabolized and an overall cleansing of the body systems begins. The nutrients in Açaí , help to provide support and protection against these additional free-radicals.
Origin: Mediterranean
Key Nutrients: Anti-oxidant polyphenols including anthocyanins and vitamin C
Health Benefits:
- Nutritional support for a healthy circulatory system
- Assists in maintaining healthy blood lipid levels
While this “Super Fruit” is better known to many Americans, it is originally from the eastern end of the Mediterranean. It has been consumed as a food and played an important role in Persian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Thousands of years of usage have also shown Pomegranate’s healthful benefits as well. Traditionally it has been used as a cardiovascular tonic and recent research has shown the benefits that regular consumption of pomegranate juice can have in maintaining a healthy circulatory system. While a lot of articles in the popular press have touted the anti-oxidant benefits of red wine, studies have shown that pomegranate juice can have as much as three times higher levels of anti-oxidants.
Adding pomegranate to White Tea Blend helps to enhance the benefits of this unique blend to overall health and to the maintenance of a health circulatory system.
Origin: North America
Key Nutrients:
Anthocyanins and pro-anthocyanins
Health Benefits:
- Helps to maintain healthy cellular function
- Protects against free radical damage
Last, but certainly not least, among the “Super Fruits” is Blueberry. This berry native to North America has been used by native peoples for its great taste and nutrient qualities. Because it was easily dried and still able to retain the nutritional value, it was stored for usage during winter and times of stress. The wide range of vitamins, natural sugars and trace minerals helped to promote health and stamina. Recently, scientific investigations have shown that Blueberries contain very high levels of important anti-oxidants called anthocyanins and pro-anthocyanins. These have shown special benefits in protecting delicate cells in the eyes and other areas of the body from free-radical damage and from pre-mature aging. Additional studies have shown that Blueberries are useful in supporting health when the body is under stress.
