The Legendary Origins of Tea

Learn the origins of tea
You can have it hot or cold, black or green, herbal or lemon; yes what we are talking about is tea. Tea is the most popular beverage worldwide. The discovery of tea happened in 2700bc by a Chinese emperor, also a scientist, Shen Nung. According to the Indian and Japanese legend, Shen Nung discovered tea when some leaves from the garden fell into his pot of boiling water resulting in a refreshing drink. Another interesting fact was that it was monkeys the first trained to pick tea leaves.

Europe’s Discovery of Tea – An aristocratic beverage

The first European to write about tea was father Jasper De Cruz, in the year 1560, who tasted the drink at a missionary. Tea slowly gained popularity among the French and the Dutch, but due to its high cost remained a drink for the wealthy. As time passed and the popularity of tea increased, several different processes of brewing, preparing and drinking tea also evolved. Marquise de Seven was the first to have mentioned the addition of milk to tea giving the drink a new dimension. Tea was officially brought to Europe by the Dutch in the 1600s. By 1700bc tea was being sold in fashionable coffee houses. John Dorniman was the first to sell tea in net weighed packets. The Duchess of Bedford originated the custom of afternoon tea but the credit turning it into a pastime should be given to Queen Victoria. Tea was originally grown in China and exported to Europe and other parts of the world. In the 1600s China emerged as the only trader of tea. Due to the steep rise in demand and also to keep a check on the balance of trade, the Europeans started to look for other places where tea could be grown. This search gave birth to the tea fields of India. Later Europe imported tea from India followed by Ceylon. The history of tea also enhances our general knowledge.   When we move back in time, we learn that the practice of tipping was developed in the tea gardens of England where a small wooden locked box labeled tips (to ensure prompt service) was kept for its customers. Customers came and went by, years and centuries passed by, only to take to new heights the refreshing drink called Tea.

Garcinia Cambogia Properties and Health Benefits

What is Garcinia Cambogia? Why is it called the miracle weight-loss fruit?


Garcinia Cambogia is a fruit with the shape of a pumpkin, native to Central and West Africa, Indonesia, India and Southeast Asia. The fruit is also known by the name garcinia gummi-guta and it contains the chemical hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which is widely used in medicine. Judging by many experts, HCA is the main reason why garcinia cambogia is used as the main ingredient for many weight loss supplements. But this isn’t the only use of this fruit. Because of its strong flavor, garcinia cambogia was initially used as a natural souring supplement – before scientists discovered its value and potential in medicine.

Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA)
Garcinia Cambogia’s weight loss properties are directly related to the HCA. The extract of this citric acid derivative can also be found in other fruits in South Asia like Garcinia Indica and Garcinia Atroviridis. HCA has a strong effect in weight loss which includes: fat burn, appetite suppression, stress removal and reduced binging.
Here are some of the most notable properties of garcinia cambogia’s hydroxycitric acid:
  • HCA prevents the production of the enzyme that’s responsible for transforming the extra sugar from our body into fat. If this enzyme is reduced, the body will produce less fat – hence it will be slimmer and healthier.
  • HCA can prevent irregular or excessive eating habits by controlling stress levels.
  • Some studies have shown that HCA reduces carbohydrate metabolism.

Garcinia Cambogia Usage in Medicine

These days, garcinia cambogia is very popular in the weight loss industry – as the most important ingredient for many anti-obesity products. But this fruit’s extract has more applications than just weight-loss:
  • Treat diarrhea.
  • Fight joint pain.
  • Boost performance and energy levels during workout. Research found that the chemical HCA found in garcinia cambogia can help boost a person’s durability and strength during exercise.
  • Fight depression.
  • Control cholesterol levels.
  • Increase bowel movements.

Garcinia Cambogia Weight Loss Benefits

Many nutrition experts have pointed out the importance of garcinia cambogia as a natural weight loss supplement – describing it as the revolutionary fat burner.

Garcinia Cambogia Blocks Fat

Garcinia Cambogia’s extract contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA) – which is the main reason why this fruit gained so much popularity in the weight loss industry. HCA blocks body fat by preventing the function of enzyme called citrate lyase. Normally, this enzyme transforms excess sugars into body fat, triglycerides and cholesterol. Garcinia Cambogia’s main weigh loss benefit is to prevent this enzyme by interrupting the metabolic function and reduce the conversion of fats.

Garcinia Cambogia Boosts the Body’s Metabolism

If consumed on a regular basis, garcinia cambogia will improve the metabolism function and make it more efficient. The body’s metabolic process is composed of chemical reactions that provoke constant imbalance to the body. Garcinia cambogia balances this process by making the body to use more energy than it has – which results in reduced fat.

Garcinia Cambogia Suppresses Appetite

Besides being a highly effective fat blocker, HCA can suppress appetite and balance out irregular eating habits. This is done by boosting serotonin levels in the body. Serotonin is a brain chemical that affects appetite and mood to some extend.
