Little-Known Health Benefits Of Drinking Tea

The Benefits Of Yerba Mate Tea

In South America, where yerba mate originates, it is often called the tea of the gods. Yerba mate contains more caffeine than green tea, however, less than black tea and coffee. It helps stimulate body and mind but does not give the jitteriness that is associated with drinking coffee. It also does not have high acidity like coffee, so can be an excellent alternative for those who suffer from IBS, gastritis, acid reflux, or heartburn. Yerba mate also helps to reduce cholesterol levels, kill colon cancer cells, stimulate the immune system and promote healthy weight loss. On top of all the other benefits, the tea is full of vitamins, essential minerals, and health-promoting compounds.
