We've got an amazing group of bloggers sharing their insights across the North Shore Patch sites. So each week we're going to single out one that's too good to be confined to one Patch.
This week the spotlight lands on Eric Robert Santiago, a local nutrition expert who owns Innovative Nutrition in East Setauket. On Thursday he filed a blog post that highlights the benefits of Rooibos, a South African herb that yields a rejuvenating tea.

Let's see, I drink green tea, eat lingonberry preserves, and low fat yogut. Meals are balanced and my colesterol has never been higher than 169, Yet I have blocked arteries non calcified. What does my cardiologist and Nurologist say? Its hereditary. So now I will try this oligosaccharides.Where does one get it? Seems interesting. After all I have no problem wanting to reach the ripe old age of 100.

Sertinos Cafe in Smithtown has a tea with Rooibos! One of our 12 loose leaf teas is a Vanilla African Redbush tea that adds a little Vanilla flavoring and Chamomile to the African Redbush Rooibos! Stop by and try it out and let us know what you think!
