Organic Roasted Dandelion Root Herbal Tea

I think most people prefer natural solutions to problems like high blood pressure, lowering LDL cholesterol, etc. Dr Oz mentioned on one if his shows that instead of taking substances like Valsartan to treat high blood pressure, consider hot dandelion tea.

We found a good deal for it online at Puritan's Pride and noticed that along with moderate exercise, my blood pressure dropped! The dandelion tea lived up to its reputation as a natural diuretic and is certainly less expensive than buying pills with side-effects.

Below is a picture of a hot cup of Dandelion Root tea from Traditional Medicinals which is, of course, naturally caffeine free. The only problem is that you have to wait around 10 minutes to let it steep before you can enjoy a cup of tea that smells a little like coffee.

Hot Green Tea, Weight Loss, and Life Expectancy

I lost 12 pounds three summers ago dropping from 200 pounds to 188 pounds. My diet that particular summer was no different than summers past. Steaks, soft drinks, entire pizzas. I ate what I wanted to eat with no lowering of caloric intake.

The difference? I drank hot green tea after or with any meal that involved anything greasy. My exercise routine did not change. The only change was the consumption of hot green tea!

So I was pleased to recently find there is a life longevity benefit to drinking hot tea.Telomeres, the structures at the end of your  genes, shield the DNA protecting it from harmful potentially cancer causing mutations. It turns out that Telomeres shorten with age which decreases their ability to protect DNA. Green tea has been shown to increase the length of Telomeres which, in turn, extends life expectancy.
