Editor's Notes
- The most commonly consumed form of tea (Tea dust) is of the lowest grade made from the leftover dust or fanning coming from the processing of loose leaf teas. Also contain stress-relieving properties, have no fat, carbohydrates or sodium if not mixed with milk and sugar. Antioxidants protect the body's cells and tissues from free radicals, and are believed to prevent diseases and combat aging.
- While it keeps you alive, oxygen also causes cell oxidation, which leaves you more vulnerable to degenerative diseases associated with aging, Alzheimer's disease, cancer. Also, you can tailor your tea to your needs by selecting herbs and plants that address the health issue you want to target.
