<\/a>PROS: <\/span>Lowers blood pressure<\/strong>:\u00a0People who are frequent drinkers of hibiscus tea experience a reduction of 7.2 points in their systolic blood pressure. That besides, hibiscus tea is known to be a mild diuretic, that helps increase urination and reduce blood volume, thereby causing blood pressure to go down.<\/p>\nLowers cholesterol<\/strong>:\u00a0Studies reveal that just like red wine, hibiscus tea is full of antioxidants and bioflavonoids that are helpful in controlling cholesterol. This helps to reduce the risk of heart disease. Moreover, it effectively decreases body-blood pressure in persons suffering from Type-2 Diabetes.<\/p>\nImproves digestion<\/strong>:\u00a0Hibiscus tea improves the functioning of the bladder and the bowels and has traditionally been used to treat constipation. Since it has an anti-spasmodic effect, it can be used to settle digestive flare ups associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).<\/p>\nHelps in weight loss<\/strong>:\u00a0Hibiscus tea can be a part of any weight loss program. It contains an enzyme inhibitor that blocks the production of amylase, the enzyme that transforms starches into sugar. Drinking hibiscus tea after meals helps to reduce the absorption of carbohydrates, which gradually leads to weight loss.<\/p>\nCombats cold<\/strong>:\u00a0Since hibiscus tea is rich in vitamin C, it is an excellent guard against common colds and flu.<\/p>\nDecreases depression & mood swings<\/strong>:\u00a0The minerals and vitamins in hibiscus tea help contribute to getting a more positive frame of mind and a calmer nervous system.<\/p>\nPrevents pre-cancerous cells<\/strong>:\u00a0Like all antioxidant rich foods that we keep reading about, hibiscus tea helps slow the growth of precancerous cells by destroying free radicals.<\/p>\nCONS<\/span><\/strong>: <\/strong>Hibiscus Tea is not recommended if you are bogged down with any of these problems:<\/p>\na\/ Pregnancy or fertility treatment<\/strong>:\u00a0Hibiscus tea can lower estrogen levels and is therefore not recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy, or for women who are taking birth control pills.<\/p>\nb\/ Low blood pressure<\/strong>:\u00a0Because hibiscus tea lowers blood pressure, it is not recommended for people with hypotension or low blood pressure.<\/p>\nc\/ Hallucinations<\/strong>:\u00a0A small section of people have experienced hallucinogenic side effects from hibiscus tea. Therefore, don\u2019t drive a car or engage in other potentially dangerous activities until you know how your body reacts to the tea.<\/p>\nIf you are those types aiming to lose weight, hibiscus tea may be a healthier choice than fast acting solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
