Benefits of Consuming Tea

Studies that support the health benefits of tea drinking keep filling the headlines. There’s simply no denying that a daily spot of tea does the body good.

Even though researchers can’t quite agree on every aspect, I’m sold on the fact that a few cups a day will do its best to protect me from heart disease, a stroke, cancer, and more. Some even suggest that tea is perhaps the best healthy beverage of the 21 century.

The following are the 10 Health Benefits of tea:

· Refreshes one’s Mind and Thoughts
· Increases secretion of Urine and Helps in Defecation
· Strengthens Teeth and Fights Tooth Decay
· Eliminates Infection and Bacteria
· Detoxifies and Sobers up
· Reduces Fat and Blood Pressure
· Beautifying Effect
· Protects the Liver and Enhances Health of Eyes
· Fights mutation of cancerous cells caused by radiation
· Anti-ageing and promotes longevity

Does green tea have more antioxidants than black tea? Should I drink instant tea or loose leaf tea for better health benefits? Is hot tea better than iced tea? And here’s what it comes down to:

· Higher quality teas may have more catechin antioxidants than lower quality teas.
· White tea has more antioxidants than any other tea.
· Green tea has more catechin antioxidants than black tea since black tea goes through more processing.
· Unfermented rooibos tea has more polyphenol antioxidants than fermented rooibos.
· Freshly brewed teas have more polyphenol antioxidants than instant or bottled teas.
· Brewed (cold or hot) or caffeinated tea has more antioxidants than instant teas.

So.. Go grap your cup of tea now!!
