VIDEO: Put aside green tea, blue tea is the new healthy tea to try!

We've all read so much about green tea in the past 10 years, we probably know it's nutritional benefits by heart. It's got antioxidants, it helps in proper digestion and maintain overall good health and a trim waist.
However, some people do not like it's taste. For those who can't stand the taste or colour, there's an inky alternative with little flavour and a host of health benefits to try out.

It is made from the blue pea flower (Clitoria ternatea) also known as Asian pigeonwings or bluebellvine. Originating in Asia, this tea is grown in many warm countries now. It's also found in India where it's called Aparajita and had also been used in Ayurvedic medicine.

Detox
It's an antioxidant, like green tea and it is anti-inflammatory. It's also diuretic, promoting urination and can be used to treat people who have difficulty urinating. It contains cyclotides, a peptide that has been shown to possess anti-HIV and anti-tumor properties.
Digestion
It's been found to be help the liver produce more bile, which along with its antioxidant properties helps boost digestion. It's also said to have anti-nausea properties.
It's good for the skin as it has anti-glycation properties which helps in preventing skin aging and some flavonoids found in the tea boost collagen production, increasing skin elasticity. It's been used to treat male pattern baldness as it has anthocyanin which is supposed to increase blood flow in the scalp and sustain and fortify hair follicles.
Brain Booster
Blue pea tea has been shown to improve brain function in many ways, unfortunately most of those experiments have been done on rats in lab, however their brains are remarkably similar to ours so the results must apply to us as well.
It was found to increase memory in many experiments. This is probably because it increases the production of acetylcholine.
It's antipyretic, curing fever and it's been shown to have anti anxiety and antidepressant effects as well.
