Chamomile tea
If you’re looking for new beverages, why not try something that’s both healthy and tasty?
Yes, I’m recommending chamomile tea. This herb is extremely rich in flavones, a group of antioxidants known for reducing inflammation and diminishing the long-term risk for chronic illnesses such as heart disease or cancer.
Additionally, this study from Molecular Medicine Report says that drinking chamomile tea strengthens your immune system, reduces anxiety, and may even improve your skin health and appearance.
However, one of the most valuable properties of this herb is the apigenin it contains. Apigenin is an antioxidant that can bind to brain receptors responsible for inducing sleepiness and reducing insomnia – and its effects are scientifically proven!
During a 2011 study published in BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies, researchers looked at 34 healthy adults; some were given 270 mg of chamomile extract twice a day for 28 days, while others went tea-free. Turns out, participants who consumed chamomile fell asleep 15 minutes faster and reported considerably fewer nighttime wakening compared to the other group.
