Health Benefits for Heart Health

1. Green Tea:

• Rich in Antioxidants: Green tea contains catechins, particularly EGCG, which help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation linked to heart disease.

• Supports Healthy Cholesterol Levels: Regular consumption may lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol while boosting HDL (“good”) cholesterol.

• Promotes Healthy Blood Pressure: The antioxidants in green tea can relax blood vessels, supporting healthy blood flow and blood pressure.

2. Sea Moss:

• Packed with Essential Minerals: Sea moss contains potassium, magnesium, and calcium, all vital for heart muscle function and healthy blood circulation.

• Anti-Inflammatory Properties: The iodine and antioxidants in sea moss can reduce inflammation, which is a risk factor for heart disease.

• Supports Healthy Cholesterol: Studies suggest sea moss may help lower LDL cholesterol and support overall cardiovascular health.

3. Lemon & Honey:

• Lemon: High in vitamin C, lemon acts as an antioxidant, improving blood vessel health and reducing the risk of heart disease.

• Honey: Contains polyphenols that can help improve heart health by reducing inflammation and improving blood flow.

This green tea with sea moss gel is more than just a soothing drink—it’s a heart-healthy powerhouse. Enjoy it daily for hydration, energy, and long-term cardiovascular support.
