The Health Benefits Of Drinking Tea

• Tea has always been popular, and now, with so
  many different types of tea available in our
  local supermarkets, tea tipplers are really
  spoilt for choice. While some of us focus on the
  flavor of the tea, there are others who drink
  certain types of tea for their possible health
  benefits, such as those listed below

• Teas are rich in antioxidants
• Our bodies can undergo attack from harmful
  chemicals called free radicals, and antioxidants
  help to protect us from them. Tea is brimming
  with antioxidants, and so can help us to stave
  off illnesses and infections.

• Tea contains less caffeine than coffee
• Traditional teas have around 50 less caffeine in
  them, than most coffees, while herbal teas
  contain no caffeine at all. We all know how
  jittery or shaky an overload of caffeine can make
  us feel, so switching from coffee to tea should
  mean that you get those symptoms less.

5

• Green tea may reduce the risk of heart attacks
• There have been various studies conducted in
  which the consumption of green tea has been
  linked to a reduction in the risk of heart
  attacks and strokes, and lower levels of LDL
  cholesterol. Drinking between one and four (or
  more) cups of green tea daily has shown to reduce
  the risk of heart attack by up to 20 and the
  risk of a stroke by 35.

• Your immune system might be boosted by drinking
  tea
• We all know that our immune system is crucial in
  the fight against diseases, and what we eat and
  drink can play a huge role in boosting our immune
  system so that it can better protect us.
• Tea contains a substance called L-theanine which
  the liver breaks down and turns into ethylamine.
  This then helps to boost the immune systems
  response to germs, viruses and disease, keeping
  us healthy for longer.

7

• Tea can help soothe the digestive system
• The simple act of sipping on a warm cup of tea
  has been proven to soothe and calm us over the
  years, but some herbal teas have been used for
  many more years to soothe, calm and in some
  cases, even to cure, digestive system ailments,
  such as bloating, constipation and diarrhea.
  Ingredients like ginger, peppermint, cinnamon,
  cloves and turmeric are all herbs that are known
  for their powerful ability to help promote
  necessary digestive secretions, eliminate gas and
  reduce inflammation, so teas containing these
  will naturally help your digestive system
  flourish.

• Tea is calorie free!
• Well, your cup of tea before you add milk and
  sugar is calorie free! But in all seriousness,
  what better way to stay hydrated than to
  intersperse your water consumption with cups of
  tea, if only to make keeping.
