THERMOJETICS INSTANT HERBAL BEVERAGE


"Drink and Shrink"

The perfect beverage - Instant Herbal Beverage is delicious and refreshing hot or cold. Combining ancient herbal wisdom with modern day ingenuity, this calorie-free* beverage contributes to your well-being and supports normal vitality. Available in four delicious flavours: Lemon, Peach, Raspberry and Original.

Instant Herbal Beverage is a refreshing drink which can be enjoyed alone or with meals. Enjoy one or two cups daily as a gentler alternative to tea or coffee.



Do you sometimes feel lethargic and lacking in energy?

Some people are blessed with endless energy and others suffer from frequent spells of fatigue. Herbal Concentrate has been developed with specially chosen ingredients, which may help to support thermogenesis. Which literally means 'the creation of heat'. Heat is one way in which you can bum up excess energy and provide a feeling of vitality.

Do you drink a lot of coffee or tea?
Too much coffee and tea can rob the body of essential nutrients and increases free radical damage. Instant Herbal Beverage's botanical ingredients provide a refreshing and invigorating feeling; it is a gentler alternative - hot or cold. Why not use one of the four flavours as a base for a variety of liquid refreshments.

Do you often choose a fizzy drink rather than water?
Fizzy drinks contain, on average, six teaspoons of sugar in each can. Plain water is often the last option when choosing a drink, despite its importance to our well-being. The fruity flavours of Instant Herbal Beverage can add a refreshing zing to plain water. This easy to make beverage can give you an exciting alternative to fizzy drinks in seconds. The ingredients in Instant Herbal Beverage contains substances that add value to your daily intake of fluid, so drinking Instant Herbal Beverage in place of less desirable drinks can help reduce consumption of anti-nutrients such as refined sugar, and boosts your water intake.

Do you drink enough water each day?
A lack of water disguises itself by producing many ailments that are not at first recognized as water deficiency. Water is one of the five nutrients essential to life, every cell in the body is dependent upon a plentiful supply for proper function. Drinking Instant Herbal Beverage regularly can help increase water consumption, at the same time as providing a nutrient-rich beverage.

Do you find burning up excess calories a problem?
When we consume an excess of energy (by eating beyond what the body needs) we store the excess as fat. Drinking Instant Herbal Beverage along with regular exercise can help avoid this by helping you burn up excess energy.

CHEMICAL IN GREEN TEA STOPS TUMORS : STUDY SAYS

LONDON (Reuter) - Green tea could help prevent cancer through the action of a chemical known as a cathechin, researchers in the United States reported Wednesday. They said it was non-toxic in doses found in tea-but a single cup of green tea contained huge amounts of the chemical.

"One of the major ingredients of green tea inhibits urokinase, an enzyme crucial for cancer growth," Jerzy Jankun of the Medical College of Ohio in Toledo and colleagues wrote in a letter to the science journal Nature.

Researchers knew tea and especially green tea contained chemicals that could protect against cancer but have been unable to identify the precise mechanism.

Jankun's group said they had found epigallocathechin-3 gallate (EGCG) acted against urokinase, which is often found in large amounts in human cancers. EGCG attaches to it and prevents it from invading cells and forming tumors.

"Inhibition of urokinase can decrease tumour size or even cause complete remission of cancers in mice," Jankun's group wrote.

Black tea - the type drunk most often in the West - does not work in this way because the brewing process destroys the effects of the cathechins.

Jankun's group compared the dose of cathechins in green tea to a drug, amiloride, that acts in a similar way but is usually used to treat high blood pressure and congestive heart failure.

"Amiloride is administered in a maximum dose of 20 mg per day, whereas a single cup of tea contains 150 mg (of) EGCG, and some tea lovers consume up to 10 cups a day," they wrote.

"Such high levels of a urokinase inhibitor are likely to have a physiological effect and could reduce incidence of cancer in humans or the size of cancers already formed"
