Boosting Your Immune System with Bigelow Tea

Tea may not be the only answer to a stronger immune system, but studies say it can be a significant factor in helping your body ward off sickness. Illness is not caused by a virus or bacteria; it’s when your body’s immune system is too weak to prevent the actual disease. Without the use of antibiotics, this battle that wages between your body and the outside world can actually strengthen your immune system to fight off future attacks.

Here are a few immune system boosters and busters when it comes to your health:

Boosters	Busters
Regular Exercise	Lack of Exercise
Antioxidants	Being Overweight
Adequate Sleep	Sugar and Fat
Relaxation Techniques	Constant Stress
Laughter	Social Isolation

So, why do tea drinkers have more active immune systems? Maybe it’s because Green Tea has amino acids which help you relax as well as being chock full of antioxidants.  Or, as studies say, it could be because Green Tea helps with endurance, exercise, and calming cravings, while helping you burn fat and increase your metabolism – all helpful in maintaining a healthy weight and exercise routine.

You can also nourish your immune system by increasing your intake of vitamins and nutrients C and E, Carotenoids, Bioflavonoids, Zinc, Garlic, Selenium, and Omega-3 fatty acids. And when you can take it up a notch by enjoying Bigelow Tea Pomegranate Blueberry Herb Plus to get some extra Omega-3, it’s all good! There’s really nothing like enjoying good tea, good friends, and good health – drink up!
