Lose weight with Victoria Beckham's tea part 4

Average rating:

Rooibos (Redbush) tea
What's been said about it?
It's naturally caffeine-free, so it's said to be good for people with stomach ulcers, as caffeine can aggravate them. It's rich in anti-oxidants and low in harmful tannin which can prevent iron, essential for transport of oxygen in the blood, from being absorbed into the body. It's also reported to have a soothing effect on the nervous system, has anti-spasmodic properties, so relieves stomach cramps, and contains natural calorie-free sweeteners, perfect if you're on a diet.
Who's it good for?
It's recommended for people suffering from irritability, headaches, disturbed sleeping, insomnia, nervous tension, mild depression or hypertension. It's also great if you want to lose weight.
