10 Things You Should Know About Chai

1. Chai is the Indian word for "tea". In India "chai" simply means tea. But in the West it refers specifically to spiced Indian-style tea - that is, tea with traditional Indian spices and milk. This is also referred to as Masala Chai, which is more popular in India than coffee. The popularity of chai tea is spreading rapidly to the rest of the world, and has taken on some changes. In America, a sweeter, creamier variation known as a "chai latte" is often served as chai. 2. Tea is good for you! There is also a growing body of evidence showing that the tea in chai has numerous health benefits. Tea polyphenols have been linked in research to increased attention and focus (Theanine), cardiovascular health, protection against Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and even may have the potential to alter cancer genetics. Additionally, the spices in Chai Tea have various health benefits, and have been used for thousands of years. For details, see PRnewswire and Teausa.org. 3. How much caffeine is in chai, and does it affect one differently than coffee? A typical cup of chai tea prepared as directed contains approximately 40mg of caffeine (4 oz of black tea) compared to roughly 120mg in an average cup of coffee. However, the caffeine in tea seems to work differently due to the interaction with a component of tea known as tannin, which has a calming effect on the nervous system. This causes the caffeine to be absorbed much more slowly, avoiding the caffeine "shock" and inducing a calm, relaxed yet focused state characteristic of alpha brain wave patterns. Because chai doesn't have the caffeine "shock" of coffee, you can enjoy a few extra cups. Many people find they can even have it in the evening without disturbing sleep. (If you are highly sensitive to caffeine, however, try Rooibos Chai as it is naturally caffeine free.) For a full listing of the reputed benefits of the various spices in chai, please see Chai Benefits. 4. Many people actually prefer the taste of chai over coffee. Here at www.Chai-Direct.com we agree! Chai is mentally clarifying and energizing yet calming at the same time. So chai gives you a subtle "pick me up" without nervousness, jitters. And unlike standard tea, chai tea has substantially more body and flavor so it is an ideal coffee substitute. Also, unlike standard teas, chai tea tends to be stronger and bolder, enhanced by the spices. So it is a natural coffee substitute. Try chai for a week. We think you will like it! For more about chai vs. coffee, see this Chai as a Coffee Substitue. 5. Chai tea is better for the environment. Water is perhaps our most precious resource, and becoming more so each day. It is estimated that over 1100 cups of water are required to produce a single cup of coffee. On the other hand, only about 1/10th of that amount of water is needed to produce a cup of tea. Read more about chai tea's positive environmental impact. 6. Chai is typically made with black tea, but also available with green tea, Rooibos (or red tea) and yerba mate. Green tea has less caffeine than black tea, and larger amounts of EGCg, a powerful anti-oxidant. It was first assumed that green tea had higher health benefits, but new research is finding that the theaflavins and thearubigens of black tea actually carry similar health benefits. Rooibos is a caffeine-free variety of tea sought for its additional health benefits. It is widely believed that it is the synergistic combination of tea and spices that make chai such a beneficial and healthy drink. Yerba mate is another tea variation sought for it's additional health benefits, but it also carries a stronger, slightly bitter taste. 7. Commercial chai is available as a concentrate, powder mix, or in bulk loose leaf tea form. Which is best? That depends on you. Concentrates are brewed under ideal conditions and pressures, so they often tend to taste a bit stronger, bolder and/or spicier. 8. Dry mixes can be even more convenient, however. Bulk tea and bags must be brewed and sweetener added, so the process takes more time, but many still prefer this. Many of the chai products available from Chai-Direct.com are Fair Trade Certified.

Chai Tea Health Benefits

Chai is spiced tea, originally from India, but now increasingly enjoyed around the world. The various types of teas used in chai (black tea, green tea, and less commonly Rooibos, or red tea from South Africa) have been the subject of extensive studies in recent years to understand and quantify the health benefits. Green tea was initially the primary focus of most health studies because it was seen to carry a high amount of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), a compound known to exhibit powerful anti-oxidant qualities. As green tea goes through the oxidation process to become black tea, the amount of this antioxidant is decreased. So it was assumed that green tea would be "healthier". However, recent studies have found that the newly formed compounds of the oxidation process are equally beneficial. So black tea has been redeemed. Although slightly different in composition, both give outstanding benefits. Other beneficial compounds in tea include tannin, which acts to counterbalance and enhance the beneficial effects of caffeine. Tannin causes the caffeine to be absorbed more slowly and thereby avoids the caffeine "shock" and crash commonly associated with coffee. Due to the negative press on caffeine, some may find it odd that it could be seen as a health benefit. But in small amounts, tamed by the synergistic effects of tannin, it seems to have several beneficial metabolic properties. This combination also tends to induce a calm, alert and focused mental state, characteristic of alpha brain waves as demonstrated on EEG machines. In addition, black tea contains many beneficial polyphenols including Theanine, which also tends to increase alertness and clarity. The increased focus has been demonstrated to last three to four hours. As there is no known negative side effects of drinking tea, some doctors studying these effects have come to recommend drinking 4 to 5 cups per day. Worldwide, tea is the most consumed beverage next to water.

Medical News Today – Black Tea and Diabetes Infection Control Today Magazine – Black Tea may help immune system USDA Agricultural Research Service - The Latest Tea Research In addition to the tea in chai, there is also a number of spices which are added to give it its characteristic chai flavor. These include: Cardamom, Cinnamon, Clove, Black Pepper, Nutmeg, Chinese Star Anise, Ginger and Fennel. Although less studied than tea, these compounds have also been used for thousands of years in oriental herbology for various benefits. In the West, we are only now beginning to appreciate the value of some of these traditional uses. It is further thought that it is a synergistic combination of these key spices, along with the tea factors, that further increases the beneficial effects and therefore makes chai unique among tea.

There is no doubt that the Health and Fitness Industry is BOOMING! Even Though the "Failure Rate" is 98%! Most people are searching desperately to regain Health and Fitness and searching for an Income Opportunity as well. But why the 98% Failure Rate? Here's why the Opportunity to Earn Residual Income has such a HIGH failure rate. Almost every Health and Fitness Opportunity is doomed for everyday people such as yourself. Why? These programs are designed by Marketers, not Fitness Experts. They have a product that may work for some, but not for the average person. It's NOT GOING TO CREATE ANY RESIDUAL INCOME because the Product itself is not "doable". NOW, It's Time for a Change Our Opportunity with the 7 Minute Workout was created by Marketing Pro Joel Therien, who has 12 years of Internet Marketing Success with goGVO Hosting and GVO Conference. He is also a Fitness Expert and Personal Fitness Coach, having University Degrees in Cardio Rehabilitation. Joel Therien along with World Champion TaeKwonDo Competitor and Martial Arts Instructor, Chris Reid, have joined together to design a Fitness Program that will appeal to anyone, regardless of age, gender or personal health challenges. The 7 Minute Workout is "doable". All you have to do is follow the Exercises (which you will love) and when people ask, "WoW, how did you lose all that weight. You look GREAT!". Then you can tell them about the 7 Minute Workout. You have proven to them that the Program Works Here Is The Opportunity to Become Fit and get in the "Best Shape of your Life" Every Fitness Program comes with the mistaken concept that if you work out for 2 hours, 90 minutes or 1 hour every day for 6 days a week you will get results. We all know that THAT just doesn't work. All these Fitness Programs are boring, time-consuming and expensive. Who wants to run on a Treadmill for an hour, do repetitive sets of exercises, run or jog for miles, and/or pay for an expensive Gym Membership? Not me, nor anyone else I know. What If: You did not have to do ANY of these boring exercises ever again? You could work out AT HOME for only 7 Minutes A Day, 3 times a week? NOW YOU CAN. You're probably thinking, "That won't work. It takes hours of exercise every day to get in shape". "Not So", says Fitness Expert Joel Therien. "I have been training using this EXACT EXERCISE PROGRAM for over 20 years. I was a Professional Body Builder for a lot of those years, and this is how I trained and still do today to keep myself in shape." Over 500 people of all ages, even people who have Health Challenges, joined our Beta Testing Program. AND, they are ecstatic with their results. What's the Catch? Will I have to buy "Expensive Food Packages" or go on an impossible DIET? NO! Learn Two things: 1. Fiber is your friend 2. High Quality Protein Builds Muscle and Burns Fat Will I have to go to Meetings or hire a Personal Trainer? NO! All the exercise programs are tailored to YOU, your lifestyle, your age, and any Health Challenges Your exercises are in video format, performed by Certified Personal Trainers, Joel Therien and Chris Reid We have a HUGE Community of members who are working with you, will encourage you, and answer your questions So, What Are You Waiting For? It's time to become a Success in the Health and Fitness Industry. Go to 7 Minute Workout to find out more about this Home Based Health and Fitness Opportunity.
