How Tipson Tea can help you sleep better!
We’re all aware of how a good night’s sleep is beneficial to both our physical and mental health. In addition to being key to a number of vital functions, it positively affects our memory and learning capabilities. A good night’s sleep is crucial if you want to have a productive day. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple to get enough quality sleep every night. Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders, as millions of people struggle to fall and remain asleep. However, did you know that the right cup of tea can be instrumental in helping you have a great night’s sleep? The ingredients in tea can help you sleep and the methodical process of making tea can help you destress and create a nighttime routine to promote deeper, better rest. However, be careful, because different types of tea contain varying amounts of caffeine, making some better than others to drink before bed. Tipson has a range of caffeine free infusions The first and most important consideration when deciding on your bedtime cuppa, is to make sure that you choose a tea that has less caffeine as possible. Obviously, you don’t want to have a lot of caffeine before bed. After all, caffeine is a chemical that’s main function is improving mental alertness. Once you consume caffeine, it takes about an hour for the effects to kick in and can last anywhere from 2 to 5 hours, depending on your dosage. Tea is naturally caffeinated but has less caffeine than a typical cup of coffee or espresso. Therefore, ideally try to select a product that has little, or no caffeine at all like Tipson’s caffeine free herbal infusions. A calming experience From preparing it to sipping it, tea has a calming effect and the ritual of bedtime tea can help you wind down at night. In fact, drinking tea has become a nighttime ritual for many people, including our customers. The process of boiling the water, steeping your tea and waiting for it to be ready to drink can be a very tranquil, mindful experience. It helps your brain and body wind down from your long day—which can make preparing the tea as relaxing as drinking it. This is a great way to get your body ready for a good night’s sleep! A rest from your screens Another great thing about incorporating tea into your bedtime routine is that is can get you away from your screens and get into the mindset of sleep. The blue light that your smart phone emits suppresses melatonin in your body. Melatonin is a hormone responsible for controlling your sleep-wake cycle. So when your body runs low on it, you can experience insomnia, tiredness during the day and irritability. Adding in your phone’s artificial blue light right before bed disrupts your body’s internal clock and rhythm. By taking 20 minutes to sip a cup of tea at night, you get a chance to decompress and unwind instead of scrolling through social media and exposing your brain to harmful blue light before bed. This can help get you in the habit of meditating and reflecting on your day rather than being in front of a screen before you go to sleep. Tipson chamomile infusions are the best for a good night’s sleep Chamomile is often cited as the best tea for sleep. The perennially popular herbal tea has been used for centuries to stave off insomnia, stress, anxiety, and upset stomachs. Chamomile has positive effects on individuals with mild to moderate generalized anxiety disorder, and it also has antidepressant qualities. The flower works as a mild tranquilizer, relaxing the nerves and muscles. This is why Tipson’s Sleep Well herbal infusions are the ideal bedtime drink. Fall in to an enchanting dream world of blissful sleep with Tipson’s special blend of natural herbs including natural chamomile. All the ingredients have been carefully blended to help you relax, unwind and enjoy a good night’s sleep.

Why turmeric is one of the healthiest foods on Planet Earth!
Turmeric has been making its presence felt everywhere these days—from spicing up our herbal infusions to coloring curries and soups! Derived from the stem of the Curcuma longa plant then ground into a powder, turmeric originated in India and has been around for thousands of years. Many cultures have used turmeric for cooking, religious significance, and medicinal purposes, such as treating cuts and burns, relieving gastronomical inflammation distress, improving blood circulation, and curing the common cold. But did you know that this golden yellow powder is actually one of the healthiest foods on the planet? Here are the top health benefits of turmeric! Reduces the risk of cancer Antioxidants are key to the topic of cancer resistance. Today, the rate at which cancer patients have been growing is seriously alarming. Among its many benefits, turmeric has been one of the natural remedies studied and has produced nearly miraculous results. Combating chronic inflammation, a known contributing factor to the development of cancer, turmeric promotes the body’s ability to fight the spread of cancerous cells. Its potent antioxidants support the body’s natural immunity to oxidative stress, which can cause cancer to develop and progress Boosts your immunity As you know, your immune system is critical when it comes to protecting the body from the development of illness and disease. Few people realize, however, that a significant portion of the immune system is directly related to digestion. Ridding the body of waste while retrieving and absorbing essential nutrients from whole foods, the digestive system disperses the essential elements of the diet throughout the body. Turmeric has shown to be one of the best foods for this purpose. It provides the body with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, and antiviral, antibacterial, and antimicrobial compounds. These proven health benefits of turmeric help to support the digestive system’s ability to function at its best and also support the immune system’s protective capabilities to keep illnesses and diseases at bay! Prevents hair loss Hair loss is something we all dread and it can almost always be attributed to a nutritional deficiency. Because it contains a number of nutrients that help the skin achieve an optimal level of health, turmeric extract and supplements can be used in both internal and external applications to ensure the scalp remains healthy and hair continues to grow. Fighting free-radical damage that can leave the scalp riddled with health issues, turmeric’s beneficial polyphenols help to counteract the health issues and conditions that can cause hair loss! Promotes weight loss The body requires specific nutrients to perform each function involved in fat burning. If you add turmeric to your daily diet, such as Tipson’s Turmeric, Ginger and Lemon herbal infusion, the essentials required for each of these processes are delivered to the proper organs via the bloodstream, promoting the successful functioning of each system. You can be sure your systems are optimized by incorporating turmeric into your day. With turmeric’s blend of vital vitamins, miraculous minerals, and potent phytochemicals, the body’s natural processes involved in fat burning are supported and optimized. So, if you’re hoping to lose fat without the pills, potions, and products that promise but don’t deliver, opt instead for the natural doses of turmeric and its proven health benefits that can help you lose fat fast and healthfully! As you can see, turmeric truly is one of the healthiest foods on Planet Earth. In addition to tasting great, it provides health benefits that can transform your health and wellness.

Why Moringa is the next SuperFood!
At Tipson, we love our moringa! Moringa oleifera is a plant that is often called the drumstick tree, the miracle tree, the ben oil tree, or horseradish tree. Moringa has been used for centuries due to its medicinal properties and health benefits. This is why at Tipson we have a wide range of moringa based products. But, what makes moringa the next super food? Packed with Essential Nutrients Many of the healthy food items you eat have a single standout nutrient that make it special. Think carrots and vitamin A, lemon and vitamin C, milk and vitamin D, nuts and vitamin E. However, moringa is a slight anomaly as one cup of chopped leaves is considered a good source of iron, calcium, vitamin C, vitamin B6, and riboflavin and has notable amounts of potassium, vitamin A, vitamin E, and magnesium. In fact, the leaves are more concentrated in vitamin C than oranges themselves! That means moringa can contribute to everything from better vision and immunity to bone health and skin radiance. If that does not describe a super food, we really do not know what does! Moringa helps lower blood sugar levels The modern human beings diet is full of sugar, and over time, high blood sugar levels raise the risk of many serious health problems, including heart disease. For this reason, it’s important to keep your blood sugar within healthy limits. Interestingly, several studies have shown that Moringa may help lower blood sugar levels. One study in 30 women showed that taking 1.5 teaspoons (7 grams) of moringa leaf powder every day for three months reduced fasting blood sugar levels by 13.5%! Scientists believe these effects are caused by plant compounds such as isothiocyanates. So, if you want to feel less guilty about that mid-week dessert, moringa is the way to go! Moringa protects your liver The weekend can really take a toll on your liver, especially when you have a few too many of your favourite cocktails. Think of your liver as the body's detoxifier. It filters the blood, detoxifies chemicals, and metabolizes fat—and moringa may help it work better. First off, moringa contains high concentrations of polyphenols to reverse oxidation in the liver, and preliminary research has shown moringa consumption to reduce liver fibrosis and protect against liver damage. It is packed with proteins Whether you're a vegetarian or just trying to cut down on meat, it's not always easy finding convenient plant-based protein. Sure, there are lentils and tempeh, but sometimes you just want a quick, no-cook add-in your diet. That's where moringa comes in. Our range of moringa based herbal infusions made from crushed leaves are packed with protein—3 grams of protein per tablespoon, in fact—and have a leg up on legumes because they contain all the essential amino acids, necessary for muscle repair, energy production, and mood regulation. Super foods are becoming quite common these days and include cholesterol-zapping oats, almonds that tackle heart disease, and chia seeds that fight diabetes. Moringa, however, is a more powerful hero than most. Its small, tender leaves contain all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete source of protein. It’s also rich in iron, vitamin B6, and potassium. As nutritious as it is, consuming moringa can be quite a task, especially since you have to find the leaves and then grind it in order for it to be consumed. Tipson solves this problem by giving you all the goodness of moringa in a convenient tea bag which you simply need to add to hot water! Transform your health, wellness and fitness with our range of moringa based herbal infusions. Check them out here.
