Anti-Aging Secret: African Red Tea
The media constantly telling us that green tea is best tea to drink because has great anti-aging properties.
Guess what?
African Rooibos Tea has a higher antioxidant content than green tea.
Rooibos Tea contains SOD(Super Oxide Dismutase) a powerful antioxidant, AHA(Alpha Hydroxy Acid) , plus 38 natural antioxidants, minerals and flavonoids.
SOD is a super powerful antioxidant that fights free radical damage, a known cause in the formation of cancer and other diseases.
AHA is a group of food and plant derived acids such as Glycolic, Citric, Lactic, Malic, and Tartaric. These acids help to smooth the skin, even texture and complexion of skin. It even reverse some of the effects of UV damage.
