In summer, tea time is for detoxing the body.

Summer is the ideal time for our body to regain its purity and natural energy. Out with the toxins! Out with everything unnecessary that we have ingested and assimilated! Let’s put on a nice pair of sneakers and engage in some healthy movement as daily training, perhaps alongside a purifying detox diet that surely helps the cause. So drinks, smoothies, and concoctions made from fruits and vegetables, but not only that: also tea, herbal teas, and infusions!

Nature comes to our aid and offers us herbs, flowers, fruits, roots, and plants that contain our salvation. Summer should bring us back to a dietary integrity that must not be underestimated. Can tea, herbal teas, and infusions help us? Certainly! They represent the best way to keep us fresh and healthy throughout the day. 

It is important to fight water retention by drinking water: nutritionists tell us to drink at least 1-1.5 liters a day. To achieve this daily goal, let’s do it with taste and help from nature. Let’s integrate our oligomineral water with extractions of fruits, herbs, or plants that can also provide detoxifying nutrients. 

Yes to water, then, but not carbonated; and no to sweetened drinks, carbonated, rich in sodium or thickeners and colorants, as well as added sugars. Let’s prepare tea, herbal teas, and infusions for this healthy summer purification. Here are some of our suggestions for this summer that, with the first signs, is telling us it will be particularly hot and sultry. 

We recommend drinking plenty of green tea of the various types we have in our proposal catalogue, both from the Altromercato line, and from the Peter’s Tea House line. Also, today a natural energizing drink that works very well when the heat seems to be overpowering us is Rooibos. This herb is primarily of South African origin and is becoming a substitute for some caloric energy drinks. 

We also recommend infusions with small red fruits, wild strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, rich in purifying and refreshing substances, in addition to being very pleasant and drinkable. Try the Cuore, Equilibrio, Benessere herbal teas from the Altromercato line: they are very good and rich in refreshing fruits and herbs, perfect to drink all day long. Take a bottle of oligomineral water, use some to make the infusion or herbal tea or tea; then put the portion of water that has become an infusion back into the original bottle with the other water and, if you want, chill it in the refrigerator. Drink a bit every hour, refresh yourself, and let yourself be pampered by the pleasantness of the mixes. It will be a great help to get through the hottest hours and, at the same time, to remove all the toxins that have taken up space in our body. Of course, don’t forget the most important thing: get plenty of exercise!
