Blue tea, made from the petals of the butterfly pea flower, has gained significant popularity in health circles, according to India Today.
The study stated that the beverage has 10 health benefits that have a remarkable impact on human health. One major benefit is that it is rich in antioxidants, thanks to the presence of anthocyanin compounds that help protect cells.
It also boosts cognitive function, as it contains properties that stimulate the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter linked to memory.
Blue tea also supports weight management because it is naturally low in calories and caffeine-free.
The study further notes that blue tea promotes healthy skin by encouraging collagen production, due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is also beneficial for eye health thanks to the flavonoids that improve blood flow to the eyes.
Blue tea has diuretic properties, helping the body flush out toxins and excess fluids. It also helps regulate blood sugar levels by balancing glucose in the blood.
Additionally, it is believed to reduce stress and anxiety due to its calming effect on the nervous system, and it boosts immunity because of compounds that support immune function. It even stimulates hair growth by enhancing blood circulation in the scalp.
A Natural Treasure Packed with Nutritional Value
Blue tea is considered a natural treasure rich in nutrients, containing vitamins A, C, E, B1, B2, B6, B5, and B7, as well as calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, copper, niacin, and folic acid.
Moreover, blue tea contains antioxidants that surpass those found in blueberries.
