Lemongrass is also used as a folk remedy to promote sleep, relieve pain, and boost immunity. One of the most popular ways to enjoy lemongrass is in tea. Keep watching to learn how drinking lemongrass tea may help deliver these potential health benefits.

1.It may help promote healthy digestion
A cup of lemongrass tea is a go-to alternative remedy for upset stomach, stomach cramping, and other digestive problems. A 2012 study on rodents published by the National Institutes of Health showed that lemongrass may also be effective against gastric ulcers.
The study found that the essential oil of lemongrass leaves can help protect the stomach lining against damage from aspirin and ethanol. Regular aspirin use is a common cause of gastric ulcers.

2.It has antioxidant properties
According to a study published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry, lemongrass contains several antioxidants, which can help scavenge free radicals in your body that may cause disease. Antioxidants of note are chlorogenic acid, isoorientin, and swertiajaponin. These antioxidants may help prevent dysfunction of cells inside your coronary arteries.


3.It has anti-inflammatory properties
Inflammation is thought to play a role in many conditions, including heart disease and stroke. According to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, two of the main compounds in lemongrass, citral and geranial, are thought to be responsible for its anti-inflammatory benefits.
These compounds are said to help stop the release of certain inflammation-causing markers in your body.

4.It has antimicrobial properties
Lemongrass tea may help treat oral infections and cavities, thanks to its antimicrobial properties. According to a 2012 in vitro study published by the National Institutes of Health, lemongrass essential oil showed antimicrobial abilities against Streptococcus mutans bacteria, the bacteria most responsible for tooth decay.

5.Boosting red blood cell levels
The results of a 2015 study suggest that drinking lemongrass tea infusions daily for 30 days can increase hemoglobin concentration, packed cell volume, and red blood cell count in the body.
The researchers took blood tests from 105 human subjects at the start, and then at 10 and 30 days into the study. They concluded that drinking lemongrass tea boosts the formation of red blood cells.
While they did not identify precisely how lemongrass does this, they did suggest that the tea's antioxidant properties could play a role.

6.Relieving bloating
Drinking lemongrass tea can have diuretic effects, which means that it stimulates the kidneys to release more urine than usual.
According to a small-scale study in the Journal of Renal Nutrition, drinking lemongrass tea increases urine output more than other beverages.
This diuretic effect on the body can be beneficial in cases where water retention leads to bloating. This is a common symptom of premenstrual syndrome.

7.Relieving anxiety
Many people find sipping hot tea to be relaxing, but lemongrass tea may offer further anxiety-reducing properties.
According to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, smelling lemongrass may help people with anxiety. Although some people already inhale lemongrass essential oil to relieve stress and anxiety

Just about everyone is familiar with the health benefits of olive oil – the first pressing of oil from olives, referred to as extra virgin olive oil, is not only highly prized among chefs across the globe
But another part of the olive tree is less known, yet it provides incredible benefits: the olive leaf. This traditional medicinal herb with therapeutic uses that date back centuries has become popular among health advocates and can be used in a variety of medicinal applications, thanks to its powerful plant compounds that contain natural polyphenolic antioxidants.

Check out these 5 Remarkable Benefits of Olive Leaf Extract
1.Reduces cancer risk
Olive leaves can play an essential role as part of a natural cancer treatment, as well as reducing the risk of developing the disease. This is due to its ability to stop the angiogenic process, which triggers tumor growth. The substance oleuropein delivers a potent antiangiogenic and antioxidant effect by preventing the reproduction and migration of advanced tumor-cells.
Research conducted out of the University of Ioannina in Greece 2009 found that the extract of olive leaves had high antioxidant potency that was able to inhibit cancer and endothelial cell reproduction. It was also able to slow the growth of cells linked to brain-cancer, urinary bladder cancer and breast cancer.
2.Younger-looking, healthier skin
Olive leaf extract offers many benefits to the skin. In fact, according to a 2008 study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science, researchers found that using the oleuropein extract of olive leafs was able to significantly reduce skin reddening, improve blood flow and dehydration, better than Vitamin E. 
thanks to the high level of antioxidants in olive leaves as well as its ability to eliminate toxins, it’s known to have the ability to reverse years of skin damage, including signs of aging, to help one’s skin become healthier and look younger too.

3.Boosts the immune system
Thanks to its antiviral properties, olive leaves may not only treat dangerous viruses, but it might even be able to help fight off the common cold. Studies have shown that the extracts of olive leaves can battle a host of disease-causing microbes, including some viruses that are known to cause respiratory infections and the flu.
Powerful substances that are found in olive leaves work by destroying organisms that invade the body, preventing viruses from replicating and causing an infection.
4.Lowering blood pressure
Olive leaf extract also offers anti-hypertensive properties that can address hypertension, lowering blood pressure and ultimately helping to lower the risk of potential heart complications.
The patients that were given 500 milligrams of olive leaf extract twice each day for a period of eight weeks and experienced dramatically reduced diastolic and systolic blood pressure.

5.Improving brain function and fighting Alzheimer’s disease
It has long been proven that those who follow a Mediterranean diet and keep physically and mentally active, are less likely to suffer from dementia. Olives, in particular, appear to play a key role in this regard, as well as the olive leaf.

Ever wonder why your friend seems to be able to eat an entire pint of ice cream without gaining a pound, while you eat just a bit and it all goes straight to your belly? The answer, fair or not, is in the metabolism. Metabolism is the rate at which the body burns calories, and much of it is dependent on factors outside of one’s control, like gender (males tend to have higher metabolisms than females), age (after age 40 metabolism decreases about 5% each decade), and the ratio of body muscle to fat, as muscle burns more-calories than fat, even when you’re resting.

Here are 5-drinks that will rev-up your metabolism and help you burn more calories

1.Green Tea
Organic green-tea is one of the healthiest things you can consume. It contains a high level of antioxidants, including flavonoids and catechins which can reduce the formation of free-radicals to protect cells from damage, and even help prevent disease and premature aging.
Of course, experts say just adding green-tea to your diet isn’t going to help you lose-weight. But if you drink it instead of things like sugary drinks or even diet soda, you’re likely to drop those stubborn pounds.

2.Wheatgrass
Organic wheatgrass is a staple at most juice-bars, and there’s a good reason for that. A 1-ounce serving of fresh wheatgrass juice has 5 calories, 1-gram of carbohydrate and 1-gram of protein. It not only helps to boost your metabolism, but it alkalizes the system and is filled with important nutrients like vitamins A, B, C, E, and K, along with iron and minerals like zinc, copper, potassium, manganese, and selenium.
3.Apple Cider Vinegar
First off, we aren’t telling you to drink apple cider vinegar straight – you should never do that as it can burn your esophagus. Instead, simply mix a couple of teaspoons of organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar with 16-ounces of water, and a little raw honey to sweeten-it up. Sipping it throughout the day can help increase the metabolism, fat burning, and weight loss.

4.Lemon Water
Lemon-water may be incredibly simple, all you do is mix the juice of a lemon into a glass of water, but it offers a ton of benefits, including the ability to raise the metabolism and burn fat. Whip-up some in a large water bottle and sip on it throughout the day for the best effects. Not only will you stay hydrated, which keeps the metabolism burning at its max, but as lemons contain flavonoids with potent antioxidant properties, it will help protect your cells from damage.
Lemon-water also helps to aid digestion, helping the body to better absorb nutrients from other foods and it aids in regulating insulin spikes.
5.Vegetable juice
Vegetable-juice, particularly the fresh juice of veggies like kale, Swiss chard, spinach, broccoli and other green leafy types, are a great way to flush the toxins out of your system to support weight-loss and a faster metabolism. Vegetables that are packed with potassium are especially good for flushing out sodium that keeps the belly bloated.
One great trick for weight-loss involving vegetable juice is to drink a big glass just before a meal. Similar to drinking water before eating a meal, it’s likely to help reduce the total of calories you consume by making you feel fuller-faster.

Roasted garlic cloves aren’t just a flavoring agent. Garlic is one of the first recorded plants actually used as a medicine. Ancient Egyptians regularly took advantage of garlic as a flavoring in dishes and for an array of health issues. Whole preserved cloves were even found in Tutankhamun’s tomb. While this pungent bulb is native to central Asia, it has over 7,000 years of history in various cultures spanning the globe. The Romans, Greeks, Japanese and even the Native Americans all valued garlic as a potent medicinal.

While garlic has a very long list of health benefits, one of the more increasingly studied is its powerful protective properties for your heart and cardiovascular system. Researchers first became interested in garlic to prevent cardiovascular disease after they discovered that people living near the Mediterranean, where garlic is a household staple, have much lower death rates from cardiovascular disease than in other countries.
Garlic also helps reduce cholesterol levels, regulate blood pressure, and stimulate blood circulation, all of which help to prevent heart attacks and stroke 

Some studies show garlic is effective for preventing pancreatic, colon, rectal, esophagus, stomach, breast, prostate, bladder, brain, and lung cancers, as well as multiple myeloma.

Hours 2-4: The pungent garlic begins to destroy cancer-cells and prevent free radical damage.
Hours 4-6: Your metabolism begins to speed up and the garlic helps to pull excess fluids and fat from your body.
Hours 6-7: Garlic’s powerful antibacterial properties destroy any harmful bacteria in your body.

Fried, scrambled, poached, and boiled, eggs are an incredibly versatile food that are packed with vitamins, minerals, protein, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Although the yolk and whites are usually the reason we crack open an egg, the eggshell itself is truly a marvel of Mother Nature.
Composed of 95% of calcium carbonate crystals, the eggshell is covered with as many as 17,000 tiny pores that allow air and moisture to enter the inner egg. The outermost layer of the shell has built in protection, called the bloom or cuticle, which prevents dust and bacteria from getting inside. Between the shell and the egg white is a transparent membrane, made up of proteins that also aid in defense against foreign contaminants.
The next time you eat eggs, you might want to hang on to the shell. Here’s why.

1.Eggshells are an Excellent Source of Calcium
Calcium is necessary for maintaining healthy bones throughout our lives. This is especially true for children in order to reach their full adult height and adults over 40 who are more at risk of developing osteoporosis. Our bodies do not produce calcium and so we must consume calcium rich foods like dairy products and dark leafy greens. For the body to absorb calcium, we also need to ensure we are receiving enough vitamin D.
Because eggshells are almost entirely calcium carbonate, half of one eggshell provides 1,000 mg of calcium – enough to meet the daily requirements for adults.
2.Eggshells Help Re-mineralize Teeth
A dental cavity begins when oral plaque becomes acidic. When we consume sugary foods and drinks, the bacterial plaque in our mouths converts the sugars into acids which dissolve (or demineralize) the tooth enamel.
When the tooth is demineralized, it releases calcium and phosphate into mouth saliva. Because eggshell powder is so rich in calcium, it can be used to help along the remineralization process. In a study published in 2015, sample teeth were first demineralized and then immersed in an eggshell powder solution for seven days. Compared to the untreated tooth samples, eggshells enhanced remineralization and raised pH levels to neutralize tooth enamel eating acids.

3.Eggshells Relieve Pain & Inflammation in Joint
The eggshell membrane is the thin yet strong transparent layer that lies between the shell and the egg white. Composed of keratin, collagen, glucosamine, and several other compounds, it has been shown to offer relief from painful joint and connective tissue disorders like arthritis.
The 2009 study evaluated the effects of taking 500-mg of eggshell membrane on people who suffer from painful joints, reduced flexibility, and decreased cartilage. After seven days of treatment, joint pain was significantly reduced while flexibility and range of motion had vastly improved.
How to Safely Prep Eggshells?
While you can purchase eggshell calcium capsules, collecting eggshells from the eggs you eat is really easy, reduces waste, and is practically free.
To start, rinse out cracked eggshells and set them out to dry completely. For quicker drying, you can bake them in the oven for about 10 minutes at 150°F. Once dry and brittle, grind them up with a mortar and pestle, in the blender, or a coffee grinder. The consistency should be powdery; you can remove larger fragments by sifting. Store your eggshell powder in a container with a good sealing lid.
