Did you know that tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world? Water is the first.
It’s also one of the secrets of the Japanese and Chinese people, how they tend to stick around the longest (life expectancy-wise). They drink a lot of tea.
Here are a few of the health benefits of tea:
1. Tea has less caffeine than coffee
Actually it has about half the amount. So if coffee is just too much for you, makes you shaky, gives you an upset stomach – give tea a try.
2. Tea keeps you hydrated
Try the kind with little or no caffeine. It’s the same as drinking the same amount of water. And it tastes better too! (if water is too boring for you)
3. Tea keeps you healthy!
Including lower blood pressure, lower risk of cancer (breast, colon, lung, etc), prevent diabetes, and increases your immune system.
4. Tea makes you more attractive
There are compounds in tea are capable of killing or suppressing growth of cavity causing bacteria. So add a cup of unsweetened tea to your diet and look forward to a lovely smile. Tea also aids in improving skin complexion.
5. Tea helps relieve stress
Tea can help reduce the stress hormone in your body. So grab a cup of black tea before bed and have a good night’s sleep.
My personal favorite teas are green tea and jasmine tea. I generally go to my local Farmer’s market or H-Mart to pick up the tea. But if you’re closer to say, a Starbuck’s, my favorite teas there are the Tazo Zen and Passion teas. Unsweetened, of course.
