The Hidden Benefits Of Yerba Mate

Monday, September 7th, 2009 by

If you’re planning on starting a new diet, you will probably hear about the new South African tea that has found its way into our culture. It is called Yerba Mate, and has been referred to as the perfect beverage.

This tea helps detoxify the body, metabolize fat, control hunger, restore hair color, retard aging, increase libido and increase energy all without the negative effects typical of other caffeinated beverages. Natural and effective, Yerba Mate naturally aids in weight loss and weight control.

Paraguay and Argentina are the largest cultivators of Yerba Mate, and the people were the first to discover its benefits using it as a main ingredient in medical cures and a way to maintain a health life. It has been found to inhibit oral cancer cell proliferation by a study conducted at the University of Illinois, and it is also now known that Yerba Mate contains cancer-fighting properties.

It is full of antioxidants, Vitamins A, C and E as well as many phytochemicals. Phytochemicals contain powerful antioxidants and augment immune defenses and protect against cellular destruction. Saponins are also found in Yerba Mate and have been found to protect against disease by inciting immune response. Drinking Mate tea, however, should not substitute eating fresh fruits and vegetables to reduce risk of cancer.

The complete list of Yerba Mate’s vitamins, minerals, and natural compounds are as follows:
Vitamins: A, C, E, B1, B2, Niacin (B3), B5, B Complex
Minerals: Calcium, Manganese, Iron, Selenium, Potassium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Zinc
Additional Compounds: Carotene, Fatty Acids, Chlorophyll, Flavonols, Polyphenols,
Inositol, Trace Minerals, Antioxidants, Tannins, Pantothenic Acid and 15 Amino Acids.

It contains the alkaloids caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine. These alkaloids stimulate the central nervous system, act as diuretics, suppress appetite, and boost metabolism. Yerba Mate also contains much less caffeine than coffee – only about 1-2%. Theobromine, however, has the most important diet properties.

Theobromine is much like caffeine, though it’s a stronger relaxant for smooth muscles, a stronger diuretic, and a weaker nerve stimulant than caffeine. Theobromine thus allows for the body to shed more water while boosting metabolism and suppressing hunger, all of which combine to aid in successful diets.

There are several factors in weight management. Caloric restrictions and exercise are the most common, but both are inherently difficult and require significant control. Thermogenesis (sweat), appetite suppression and increased diuresis can also reduce weight and help maintain it. Yerba Mate extracts do the above and increase metabolism, which overall can help reduce the water weight. Yerba Mate can improve the probability of achieving and maintaining weight goals.

At first taste, Mate is generally herbal, grassy, and similar to green tea. It is best steeped in hot water, not boiling water (to avoid bitterness.) Yerba Mate is gentle on the stomach, and though it contains caffeine, it lacks the negative effects such as jitteriness, diarrhea, and heart palpitation.

To date, studies have shown Yerba Mate to be beneficial for immunity, increasing metabolism, detoxification, metabolizing fat, increasing libido, alleviating insomnia, retarding the effects of aging, and increasing energy. In essence, it may well be the perfect addition to any weight loss program, but more importantly, to any health lifestyle.

    Entrepreneur. There’s a type of person that sees every situation as a new business that could be created. Viewing the world this way can be exciting. It makes you inquisitive, sensitive to relationships, and fundamentally optimistic. The downside is the potential to see everything as a means instead of end.

    It depends what type of essay it is? I'm guessing it's more of a creative piece of writing?
    Do you only have to talk about what they should be, and not what they shouldn't?
    You could start with "There are many things that the perfect mate should be, and many things they shouldn't."
    Or "People think that the perfect mate would be…(whatever others think, and what you disagree with, for example if someone said they should be good looking, and you thought that didn't matter)..But I disagree. To me, this doesn't matter."
    Or..
    "From my experience, the perfect mate should be a mixture of things."
    Or you could do something different?
    "Personally, I don't think there is such a thing as a 'perfect mate'. There's only someone who is willing to see past their flaws. That isn't to say, however, that I think mates should lack certain qualities….."

    Hope I helped :)

    Come on! Do you really need help with that?

    Liars are thieves, thieves are liars. Honesty and integrity are the most valuable of character traits. "A man's word is his bond"

    After eight years of President Bush, People still say he lied about the Weapons of Mass Destruction.. The facts show that at the Very worst, he was Mistaken,

    But no one has mentioned the boldface lies that the current president has told or the senate majority leader or the news media, or the global warming hoaxers.

    No wonder you need help. Liars are everywhere and have become accepted..
