Rooibos Tea: An Unheard of Protector of Youth

I just had my first sip of Rooibos Tea from Ghealth and how I love the brew! The health benefit is another story though, and so I did my own research.
Stumbling upon a post like this is quite rare. Here, I was able to find published and peer-reviewed articles that justify why you should get a cupful of Rooibos tea now.

The health benefits of rooibos tea seem to be mostly due to the flavonoids aspalathin and nothofagin, although other compounds in rooibos may also play a part. Here's a summary of the benefits:

• Acts as an antioxidant and increases SOD levels
• Prevents DNA damage
• Cardiovascular protection through ACE inhibition
• Suppresses fasting glucose levels
• Improves glucose uptake and insulin secretion after a meal
• Aids in liver tissue regeneration
• Lowers blood pressure
• Acts as a bronchodilator and antispasmodic
• Inhibits lipid peroxidation and brain aging
• Rooibos extract improves immune defects such as HIV
