Dr. Melina Jampolis Tells Us About the Health and Nutritional Benefits of Tea!
As more and more Americans focus on keeping fit, staying young and living longer, they’re changing the way they eat and drink. Many are making it a point to drink more tea – and the proof is in the amazing increase in tea consumption. Tea sales have increased more than 400% over the past 20 years, rising from $1.87 billion in 1990 to $7.77 billion in 2010. According to industry experts, the category is expected to grow to nearly $15 billion in 2012, and specialty tea, which currently makes up 36% of the market, will account for 50% of all sales.
One type of tea, Puerh, is riding the wave as the new discovery beverage, not only because it offers delicious flavor, but also for its health benefits. Although new to many Americans, Puerh has been known in China for centuries as the healing tea. Its health benefits are legendary in Asia and, in fact, it’s called the “skinny tea” in Taiwan. Puerh teas offer increased antioxidants, and are thought to reduce cholesterol, support healthy weight loss, naturally boost energy and improve digestion and metabolism. They actually contain more antioxidants than green tea. Internist and board certified physician nutritionist specialist, Dr. Melina Jampolis (one of only a few hundred in the country) specializes exclusively in nutrition for weight lost and disease prevention and treatment.
