Welcome to Teassert

TEASSERT specialises on quality, gourmet loose leaf TEA.

Tea is the world's second most drunk beverage after water, yet most people are familiar and drink only a tiny portion of what is available in the market.

Tea culture is defined by the way it is made and prepared. It is not just a drink.

It's definition surpassed cultural boundaries and thousands of years of tradition. It opens up an exciting and exotic new world.

The Tea experience is associated with celebrations. It is enjoyed as a welcoming and calming beverage; as well as for its reputed health benefits.

In this fast paced generation where everyone is in a hurry, a cup of Tea symbolises taking a break, relaxing and enjoying a friend or a family's company. Its the 'Zen' experience. Being in the moment.

We believe in the same way that coffee lovers would rarely consider drinking instant coffee, so true tea lovers would not dream of drinking instant tea.

We want to share with you the amazing world of loose leaf tea.

Inhale, take a sip and enjoy the Tea Culture.

8. Drink Tea

Quote from Jane Pettigrew from The Tea Companion

“Ever since tea was discovered, it has been thought to have wide-ranging health benefits and has been used in Chinese medicine for centuries. Tea's most obvious asset is that it is a completely natural product and contains no artificial colouring, preservatives, or flavourings (except, of course, additional flower, fruit, or spice flavourings in scented teas). It is also virtually calorie-free if taken without milk or sugar, and can play a major role in maintaining bodily fluid balance.
Research suggests that the consumption of both green and black tea may reduce the risk of cancer. It is thought that components in black tea may have an anti-oxidant effect, helping to prevent the formation of cancer-inducing substances in body cells.
Various research programs conducted over the last few years indicate tea's possible benefits against heart disease. The reason for this is thought to be because the caffeine in tea acts as a gentle stimulant to the heart and circulatory system and thus helps to keep the walls of the blood vessels soft. It is also thought that the polyphenols in tea help to inhibit the absorption of cholesterol into the blood stream and help to prevent the formation of blood clots.
The caffeine in tea can increase concentration, alertness, accuracy, and enhances the senses of taste and smell. It also stimulates the digestive juices and the metabolism, including the kidneys and liver, thus helping to eliminate toxins and other unwanted substances from the body.”

7. Fruit and Vegetables – The balanced vitamin supplement program

Your health and willpower can be challenged as a reduction of food intake often means a reduction of vital nutrients (micronutrients) that we get from foods. This can cause a situation known as Nutrient Deficiency Stimulated Appetite. This problem is simply solved be eating 5-9 serves of fresh fruits and vegetables daily – the only supplement system you will ever need. Also you’ll save money in food costs when you start making healthy whole food choices. The quality of the foods and diets of many people is so poor that they are both overfed (too much food) and undernourished (not enough nutrients). This combination leads to weight gain and health problems.

6. Eat 5 or 6 smaller balanced meals per day

One of the keys to being able to access body fat as a source of energy is to maintain even blood sugar throughout the day. Even blood sugar and energy is achieved by having 5 to 6 well spaced smaller meals and making sure each meal has a correct balance of protein (essential amino acids) carbohydrate and fats (essential fatty acids).

The majority of your carbohydrates should be ones that increase blood sugar slowly. Do this by reducing all sugars and starchy carbohydrate foods, and replacing them with fruits, salads, vegetables and whole-unprocessed grains. This will also increase your nutrient and fibre intake. Research shows that a high fibre intake (36 grams plus) may reduce the calories adsorbed from foods by up to 130 calories.

5. Aerobic Activity

Aerobic activity can develop the efficiency of your fat metabolism (releasing and burning) systems. Unfit people should allow for up to 6 months of regular aerobic training to develop efficient fat burning systems. Aerobic activity can also contribute greatly to the calorie and fat deficit required for effective fat loss.

4. Progressive Strength Training

Each kilogram of your muscle tissue burns around 80 calories per day compared with around 5 calories per day for each kilogram of your body fat. While you are exercising you can increase the calories that your muscles use ten fold. Body fat is burned almost exclusively by muscle/ the more muscle tissue you have the more fat you use. Progressive strength training is the most effective way to increase muscle strength, muscle tone and metabolism.

Remember to exercise at-least 30 minutes a day to keep your body fit and strong. Do some weights to gain some muscle around your body, but make sure only do what you can.

3. Hydration

Aim for a diet consisting of 80% of fresh vegetables, fruits and nuts. Chances are you will be getting plenty of water. If not, you may benefit from drinking 1 litre of water per 25 kilos of body weight per day. There is nothing “slimming” about drinking water. However, it is difficult to lose body fat and maintain good health for life if you let yourself become mildly dehydrated by not drinking enough water throughout the day. When denied any vital nutrient (especially water) your body goes in to protection mode. It may tell you that you should eat (stimulating hunger) when actually you are just dehydrated. Alternatively, it may slow down your metabolism (fat burning) in an effort to retain water for survival. Thirst indicates that you body is already dehydrated.

Always make sure drink lots of water a day, because not only it will keep you hydrated and fresh it will also keep you fuller for longer making you eat less.

2. Plan for Fat Reduction (not weight loss)

You can only reduce body fat if you consume less calories and fat than your body uses for its metabolism, daily activity and exercise. Any effective body fat reduction will only happen when you create a deficit of at least 500 calories a day. Reducing the percentage of dietary fat alone will not produce weight loss unless total calories (energy input) are also reduced.

Make sure you eat food that gives you enough nutrients through out the day foods such as: fish, lean meat, vegetable , fruits and nuts as snack. This way you can cut back on fat and calories but make sure you don't cook your meals with lots of oil and butter or other fats. If you plan your weight loss, do everything in moderation you will see success in the future.
