Very Berry Hibiscus Tea from Starbucks

My favorite summer tea from Starbucks. First of all it's really good. Not just in taste, but also the benefits are freakin amazing. Hibiscus is a flower and you can make tea out of it (duh, sorry. lol).

Weight loss: It increases metabolism, so that means the food that you eat will digest faster. It also helps with nutrient absorption. Sometimes because of the lack of enzymes and vitamins, we aren't able to fully consume all of the minerals and vitamins that are coming from our food. The hibiscus tea changes the way the body absorbs fats and carbohydrates, which is obviously essential to weight loss.

Bloating: Bloat no more! With the potassium, vitamin C and calcium this tea contains, your bloating will reduce by a lot. So if you like to eat until your stomach can't handle it, or it's Thanksgiving and you have your fat girl jeans on for dinner, you already know! :P

If that's not enough good stuff for you, the weight loss leads to a lowering of high blood pressure and your cholesterol will get lowered as well. They rid your body of free radicals. Some say free radicals speeds up aging. So.. if you care about that stuff, then this should be a real treat for you :D. It's not even just about looking old either, it's about lengthening your lifespan. Giiirl! I got chu :) They also lower the risk of cancer and heart disease. Then again, if you are well aware of a lot of healthy foods then the risk of cancer and heart disease getting lower should've been a given already.

For reducing your high blood pressure, drink hibiscus tea 3 times daily. Doesn't have to be the one from Starbucks, plus they don't have them anymore. So go to your tea store, or whatever. They sell hibiscus flower thingies at the Vallarta near my house for like $6.99/lb. A pound is A LOT. The flowers are not heavy, they're like featherweight so you'll get a junk load for 1 pound. So anyway, 3x daily for a few weeks will reduce high blood pressure by 10 points.

I love you, that's why I'm telling you <3
