DID YOU KNOW: FAST FACTS

Cherries Sweet health benefits
New research suggests that tart cherries could
help support bones and reduce stroke-related
complications. They contain powerful phytonutrients called Anthocyanins compounds that
give cherries their dark red colour.
Ashwagandha Beats Stress
Ashwagandha is a plant grown in India that is
revered in Ayurvedic medicine for its ability to
balance, energize, rejuvenate, and revitalize. Its
stress-reducing characteristics result from unique
bioactive compounds, generally referred to as
“adaptogens” for their ability to help the body
adapt to and recover from stress, and stimulate an
overall feeling of balance.
Relax and get Creative with Green Tea
Theanine is a unique amino acid found in the
leaves of green tea (Camellia sinensis). A unique
aspect of theanine is that it acts as a “
non-sedating relaxant” to help increase the brain’s
production of alpha-waves (those associated with
“relaxed alertness”). This makes theanine effective
for combating tension, stress, and anxiety
without inducing drowsiness. By increasing the
brain’s output of alpha waves, theanine helps to
control anxiety, increase mental focus, improve
concentration and promote creativity.
