Make Your Tea Your Power

What Amazing Your Tea Can Give You

   

Drinking real tea (not the herbal kind) has been found to help with a variety of ailments. Cancer, heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, cavities, and bad breath are just a few of the physical ailments that tea can either ease or cure, according to various tests and doctors. The antioxidants found in green tea were found to be 100 times more effective than vitamin C and 25 times better than vitamin E at protecting cells from damage from cancer and heart disease. It's shares the same ingredient that has made red wine a newly discovered treasure. Black tea, which is more prominent in the U.S., also has many of the same antioxidants.
Here are 4 tips to making sure you get the most out of your green tea of choice:

• Brew it from bags instead of from leaves. Crushing tealeaves releases more antioxidants. 
• Brew it yourself. Many bottled or canned tea beverages contain very little tea and a lot of sugar and additives. Instead, brew your own tea for 5 minutes. Hot and iced teas are equally good for you. 
• Use caffeinated tea. Preliminary studies show that the caffeine may actually help to increase tea's cancer-protecting effects. Decaffeinated tea has the same antioxidants, but caffeine helps flush out the system. 
• Reconsider herbal teas. They are made from different plants and spices altogether and often contain no tea leaves at all. Be sure that tea is listed as the primary ingredient instead of fruits or spices.
