Yerba Mate Tea

I had mentioned to a friend, that I would write something about Yerba Mate Tea. In Spanish it is pronounced,[ˈʝerβa ˈmate]. I drink this tea everyday. However, I add it to my coffee grains, along with dried cilantro and tarragon. This may sound gross, but, coffee is so strong, I cannot taste anything but the coffee. Well, Yerba Mate tea, has 196 volatile chemical compounds. The tea contains 11 polyphenols (antioxidants), inositol, trace minerals, tannins.

I will tell you what I do each day. I buy something called Marmite Yeast Extract. It is a 4.4 oz jar of brewers yeast. I eat a teaspoon each day, a clove of garlic and some red pepper flakes. The garlic and red peppers, I take for my heart. You don't need to do this, unless you have heart issues. The Brewers Yeast, has the B-Complex. Good for hair growth, hormones. You can find it at Whole Foods. I pay $6.00 a jar. If you eat each day, for one month, you would need 2 to 3 jars. Only buy, if you really feel you need it. You can buy brewers yeast in larger packages than this one. In addition, I take my high blood pressure pills, and my supplements each day. This daily ritual, keeps me afloat. So far, no arthritic pain, no chronic fatigue, no heart issues, and good hair growth.
