According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), cardiovascular disease(CVD) is the leading cause of death globally, claiming almost 18 million lives annually.
CVD no longer only affects the aged. More cases of heart attack and stroke among younger people are also being reported, largely as a result of unhealthy living.
People no matter their age, should take better care of their hearts. One such way is to drink Rooibos.
More than two decades of research shows that Rooibos can protect the heart. It does so in the following ways:
• Its antioxidants protects against cell damage, thereby reducing inflammation.
• It lowers total blood cholesterol levels.
• Supresses the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which is responsible for increased blood pressure.
• Reduces cortisol production and counteracts chronic stress and anxiety.
• Decreases blood glucose levels.
The beneficial effects of Rooibos are largely attributed to its complex mix of antioxidant compounds. Currently, 59 of these have been identified of which aspalathin, is the most abundant antioxidant. It’s also unique to Rooibos.
