Health Benefits of Earl Grey Tea
Earl Grey tea has some surprising benefits, not the least of which is relief from anxiety. Of course, it’s delicious, but here are a few things you may not know about the health benefits of earl grey tea.
It boosts your energy and helps aid digestion. If you’re a sufferer of acid reflux, it can give you some relief. It’s also known to aid in other digestive issues as well. Because of that, it may also help relieve anxiety, and calm you down. Although its calming effect may be due to the bergamot it contains, which has a natural aroma that can relax you and relieve stress, anxiety, and maybe even depression.
Because of the high levels of anti-oxidants, it can ward off a cold and even boost your immunity against more serious diseases. All in all, I’d say Earl Grey tea is a good thing to build an awesome smoothie around.
