Have some tea for your health

Drink Tea for Good Health


Green and black teas are beneficial to health. They are fragrant and zesty. A few cups a day provides an array of healthy aids. Brewed tea drinkers have fewer strokes, heart attacks, lower cholesterol and cancer than non tea drinkers It’s also great if you are watching carbs and calories. For health’s sake avoid sugary drinks and instead drink five cups of tea every day.


 
Studies have found that tea drinkers have less strokes, heart disease, and lower cholesterol than those who don’t drink tea regularly. Five cups of green and oolong tea a day seems to provide the best benefits for lowering blood pressure. Consuming black tea lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke. It also lowers the risk of bad cholesterol. Oolong tea impairs the body’s ability to absorb fat, and therefore is a good way to remain at the most healthy weight.

 



Teas appear to prevent some cancers and limit the progress of others. Green and black tea helps fight colon cancer, and green tea has been found to reduce the risk of breast cancer, and reduce the chance of recurrence. Any hot tea is said to reduce the risk of some skin cancers.

Green tea may delay or prevent Alzheimer and keep your brain sharp. Drinking tea is a win win situation for disease prevention and health.

Whether you prefer your tea with added honey,sugar, tea, lemon or milk, it’s a matter of choice. First try the tea without any embellishment, then add as you wish.

Lemon enhances the flavor of black tea and scented teas without adding calories. If you like, add a slice of lemon to your empty cup and pour tea over it.
