Twinings Green Tea & Pomegranate 80 Tea Bags (Multipack of 4 x 20 Bags)

Product Information

Green tea is a great source of antioxidants. Since oxidative damage can lead to chronic inflammation, this is great news for us tea drinkers. Moreover, antioxidants may have a protective effect against cancer by stabilizing free radicals that can damage our cells. Keep in mind that these results were based on pomegranate juice, not pomegranate tea. However, the potential cardioprotective (heart-health promoting) benefits shouldn’t be ignored and may apply to pomegranate tea, depending on the strength of the tea and amount consumed. How to make pomegranate tea If your pomegranate tea is unsweetened or low in sugar, it might also support your teeth and gum health. Sugary drinks feed bacteria on your teeth which can form plaque. If plaque remains on your teeth, it hardens into tartar which irritates your gums and can lead to soreness, bleeding, and sensitivity. A nice gentle sencha green tea will give you a subtle grassy flavor and a nice mild sweetness, whereas a gunpowder green tea will add a smoky flavor to the blend.

If you do choose to use honey or sugar, try to keep the amount less than one teaspoon, which provides around six grams of added sugar. 4) Low- or caffeine-free

Our tea revolution: Impact

Pomegranates contain powerful antioxidants called punicalagins. These antioxidants are three times as potent as the antioxidants you will find in green tea or red wine. These antioxidants have been shown to reduce inflammation, which again can help with memory for older adults and a whole host of other issues like diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.

Green tea offers benefits for heart health, according to a study published in the February 2013 issue of the journal "Current Pharmaceutical Design." A review of published research found that people who drink five or more cups of green tea a day are less likely to develop cardiovascular disease in all forms; in particular, they have a decreased risk of stroke. Green tea also reduces fasting blood sugar and levels of low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, the "bad" cholesterol. However, researchers in this study did not find an association between green tea and increased levels of high-density lipoprotein, or HDL, the "good" cholesterol. In a similar fashion, glycated hemoglobin, also known as Hba1c, was not affected by green tea. Hba1c is a blood marker that reflects blood sugar levels over the previous three months.
