If you're worried about your cholesterol and want to stay away from any pharmaceutical remedies, you may want to start drinking a favorite South American beverage-- mate (mah-ta') tea. Researchers at the University of Illinois found that drinking mate tea significantly boosts the activity of an enzyme that promotes HDL (good) cholesterol, while lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol.
The recent study found that this herbal tea induces some of the important antioxidant enzymes in the body.
To duplicate the study results, you will need to use four to five tea bags. Mate tea has a strong, grassy flavor so it may take some time to acquire a taste for it.
