Looking to Shed Pounds the Healthy Way? Hibiscus Tea Could Help

Electric-purple in color and with a tart flavor similar to cranberry juice, hibiscus tea not only looks and tastes amazing - it's really good for you. Loaded with antioxidants and polyphenols, hibiscus tea has a whole bunch of powerful health benefits, from lowering blood pressure to boosting the body's immune system to aiding with healthy weight loss.

In fact, countries like Senegal and Jamaica have been drinking hibiscus tea (usually called bissap or sorrel in those countries) for years due to its long list of health benefits. Brewed hot or cold, a cup of hibiscus tea could keep the doctor away.
