Rooibos with natural Acai and Raspberry flavoring.
Rooibos is calorie free and is therefore suitable to recommend to anyone on a weight loss plan.
It has a naturally sweeter taste than other teas and is therefore an easier substitute than many herbal options.
Rooibos also contains nine minerals and trace minerals, including calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, sodium, copper, manganese and fluoride.
Ten top tips to keep hydrated.
It is generally agreed that healthy adults in temperate climates need between 2 and 3 liters of fluid every day (approximately equal to the amount lost every day).
Unlike fat and carbohydrate, excess water cannot be stored for use later.
A regular fluid intake is needed to keep the body well hydrated and all bodily functions dependent on water operating well.
About 1 liter of water comes from what we eat and the majority of the remaining 1 – 2 liters from what we drink.
On hot or humid days more fluid is lost from the body so more fluid must be drunk to replace it.
Exposure to central heating for long periods will also increase fluid losses which must be replaced.
Physical activity, particularly in warm/hot/humid conditions, increases sweat loss. Losses must be replaced often during and particularly after activity finishes.
Thirst is not a reliable indicator of hydration. The sensation is only experienced when the body is already quite dehydrated.
As a rule of thumb, urination every 2 – 4 hours is a better sign that sufficient fluids are being consumed.
As dehydration develops, urine color darkens, and volume and frequency of urinating both decreases.
A variety of drinks should be enjoyed every day – Rooibos is a great tasting alternative to black teas.
