Description
Chamomile tea has long been a popular herbal infusion for its soothing effect and mild floral aroma. It is prepared from the flowers of the plant Chamomilla, which have been dried, and is recognized as a completely caffeine-free product. Due to this, it is well known for diminishing stress, ensuring relaxation, and improving the quality of sleep. Apart from the various soothing benefits, it possesses a rich volume of antioxidants that help minimize inflammation and therefore aid in boosting the immune system. It soothes digestion this way, too, and the drink is comfortable after meals. There are several ways to enjoy chamomile tea: from warm, sweetened with honey or lemon, to refreshing iced tea. Delicate and unobtrusive in flavor, it is a delightfully suitable choice for everyone who is in need of a natural relaxant. Chamomile tea is a healthy addition to any daily routine, full of flavor, fitting for vegans, gluten-free, and non-GMO needs, while fostering overall wellness and taking care of that one moment of peace in your day.

Glycemic Load [GL]
A food's glycemic load indicates how much it will increase a person's blood sugar after being eaten. The impact of ingesting one gram of glucose is roughly equivalent to one glycemic load unit. The glycemic load is calculated by multiplying the total carbohydrate content of a food by its glycemic index and then dividing by 100. The range of low GL values is 0–10. A GL between 11 and 19 is considered medium, while a GL over 20 is considered high.

Glycemic Index [GI]
The glycemic index measures the increase in blood sugar levels brought on by consuming a particular carbohydrate within two hours of ingestion. It is displayed on a scale from 0 to 100, with 100 denoting the effect of pure glucose. High-glycemic-index foods [70+] quickly release glucose into the bloodstream, which raises blood sugar levels. Foods with a medium [56–69] and low GI [0-55] release glucose into the blood gradually.
