The gastrointestinal (GI) tract, commonly refereed to as the gut, is a complex system responsible for functions like digesting food, storing energy, and removal of waste.
The gut also hosts trillions of microbes that perform many digestive functions and effect our health and life quality. These micro-organisms create vital nutrients, combat pathogens, improve organ activity and defend us against infection and disease. [1]
Spiced Teas Benefit Gut Health | Combat Stress and Inflammation
To improve gut issues, pre- and pro-biotic products are often recommended. Such diets are often trial and error, as there is no way to predict exact microbiome make-up.
However, one method stands above all.
It includes active compounds which improve numbers of the good bacterial cultures, battle the bad strains, and fight all types of inflammation. These compounds react with free radicals, decrease oxidative stress and protect our systems, organs, cells and DNA from damage.[2]
These compounds are polyphenols, majority of which happen to be powerful antioxidants.
The foods with high antioxidant levels are often referred to as superfoods. Data from these products have been placed in charts (ORAC value) and provided for the public. If we look at the ORAC values for most potent antioxidant foods, most happen to be spices and herbs.[23] These numbers confirm what our ancestors knew about spices thousands of years ago and used them as healing agents.
At Dupi’s Chai, we merge the knowledge of ancient medicines with modern science to create blends using the most powerful superfoods on earth—spices.
With our New Product—Chai Powders—you can consume the whole product to maximizes on the benefits. Use Elevate blend in baking like the recipe below, lattes or added to smoothies.
