• Brewed tea confers more health benefits than instant tea. • Tea bags are as potent as loose tea in their health benefits. • Brew tea for at least three minutes. • Squeeze the brewed tea bag to almost double the polyphenol content. • Add a wedge of lemon or lime with the rind for a polyphenol boost. • If you’re caffeine sensitive, reduce brewing time to one minute or so. • Avoid drinking extremely hot tea. • The flavonoids degrade with time, so it’s best to drink freshly brewed tea that’s hot or quickly iced. |

What is a “Super Food”? Well, the most important thing for everyone to know is that superfoods are easy to find in every local supermarket. They’re worth looking for! These nutritional powerhouse foods are loaded with nutrients crucial to a healthy, long life. If you can include a variety of them in your diet, everyday, we promise they will change your life! These foods were chosen because they contain high concentrations of crucial nutrients, as well as the fact that many of them are low in calories. Foods containing these nutrients have been proven to help prevent and, in some cases, reverse the well-known effects of aging, including cardiovascular disease, Type II Diabetes, hypertension and certain cancers. When you click on each superfood you’ll find information including a list of the primary nutrients that elevated them to superfood status. This is not meant to be a complete list of every single nutrient that food contains, but rather, a list of the high-profile nutrients that have shown health benefits and that are present in that food in sufficient quantity to make a difference. Many of the superfoods have “Sidekicks”. These are foods that are generally in the same category as the flagship superfood and offer a similar nutrient profile.
