The Many Ways Tea Helps Your Health

The outcome of much scientific study proves that tea is a powerfully healing elixir. Specifically:

Research shows that tea drinking appears to lower the risk for heart disease and stroke.

Natural compounds called polyphenols protect against several cancers, including prostate, GI tract, lungs, breast, and skin.

Green tea has health benefits for a wide variety of health conditions, including different types of cancer, heart disease, liver disease, and weight issues, primarily due to the catechins.

Science has shown that drinking tea daily can boost your immune system due to its antioxidant properties. Specifically, the ingredient L-theanine gets broken down in the liver to ethylamine, a molecule which primes the response of the immune system.

Caffeine and catechins increase metabolism and promote weight loss.

Tea polyphenols strengthen bones and protect against fractures.

People who drink tea could see improvements in mood, concentration, and performance.

Some studies suggest that drinking tea lowers the risk of Parkinson's Disease.

Studies showed evidence that green tea can reduce anxiety and influence psychopathological symptoms. It can also aid in brain function by enhancing working memory.

Regularly drinking tea several times a day — green or black — may cut the risk of dementia among older adults by as much as 50 percent, according to one study.
