Top 7 in Top 7 Health Benefits of Sage Tea
According to some studies, sage may help reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels, thereby lowering your risk of heart disease. Drinking 10 ounces (300 ml) of sage tea twice daily resulted in 16% lower total cholesterol, 20% lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, and 38% higher HDL (good) cholesterol in a short 4-week trial of 6 women.
A 2-month trial of 105 persons with type 2 diabetes who were using cholesterol-lowering medicines discovered that those who took 500 mg of the sage extract three times per day had lower levels of triglycerides and all cholesterol indicators than those in the control group.
