To learn more about this wonderful drink, come in and find out about the amazing health benefits of nature’s wonder herb.

Why drink Tea?
There have been countless studies on the benefits of drinking tea around the world. In decades worth of research and discovery, science has come up with the most interesting results to justify the health benefits of tea. Here are some of them:

Antioxidants

One of the tea benefits that remains known to many is the anti-aging and anti-cancer properties. Tea contains a huge amount of antioxidants which are called Polyphenols. Polyphenols help to keep your cells healthy and ready to fight the destructive effects of pollution to the body. They can help reduce aging by eliminating free radicals (the molecules responsible for tissue damage), as well as reduce the risk of cancer.

A study produced by Ivor. Dreosti, Michael J. Wargovich and C.S.Yang, in the Inhibition of Carcinogenesis by tea: the evidence from experimental studies, found that the polyphenolic constituents in tea protected against carcinogenesis chemicals (which cause cancer), in the lungs, forestomach, esophagus, duodenum, pancreas, liver, breast, colon and skin.

Not only will you feel better after drinking tea, but you will receive countless amounts of tea benefits for your health which you probably had no idea existed at all. If you are on the hunt for the rich antioxidants, then look no further than a perfect cup of tea.

Heart Disease
The Polyphenols in tea benefits can also help prevent against many heart problems, such as coronary heart disease which is a huge killer in the western world. A study conducted by The Journal of the American Health Association in Japan, found that:

In 11 years of the study of thousands of volunteers, it was found that the consumption of Green tea had an inverse association with the mortality rate of an individual, related specifically, to the mortality ratio of cardiovascular disease.

In other words, the more tea someone consumed per day, the lower the risk of developing heart problems in the long term – and vice versa.

Arthritis, Osteoporosis in the Bones/Joints

Tea benefits even extend to the reaches of the bones and joints when providing prevention or strengthening against many painful diseases.

In 2004, a experiment conducted by Dr. Tariq Haqqi in Case Western Reserve University tested an interesting suggestion to the benefits of drinking tea in the bones and joints.

In a controlled environment of 36 arthritis induced mice, 2 groups of 18 mice were separated into two distinct tests. One group was fed water enriched with green tea, while the other ordinary water.
The results showed that for the mice which drank green tea, only 8 out of 18 developed mild and late arthritis, while the mice which had ordinary water, a horrific total of 17 out of 18 had developed the full onset of arthritis. Amazingly, the dose of Polyphenols was only equivalent to 4 cups of tea per day, normal for many countries around the world.

Labatory rats which were sufferring from the disease were randomly selected to drink Polyphenolic tea extract, or ordinary water. After a full time period of 6 weeks, it was found that the polyphenols in tea was able to alleviate inflammation.

This could also be partly due to the Polyphenol ability to suppress the activation of pro-inflammatory cytotines, – in other words, prevent inflammation. 

Weight Loss
If you thought the tea benefits ended there, just wait until you hear this. On a publication of the online journal Obesity in October 2011, a group of Pennsylvania State University found that tea greatly inhibits the increase in weight gain of the body.

Two groups of obese mice with high-fat diets, one of them fed with (EGCG) Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (found in many teas) and the other without, showed very interesting results. The rate at which the mice gained weight in the EGCG control, was 44% slower than the alternative control group.
It was suggested that the compounds in teas were able to inhibit an enzyme called Pancreatic Lipase (used to digest and absorb fat), and instead secrete it (the fat) out as faeces.

Moreover, other weight-loss tea benefits produced from the Camellia sinensis plant boosted energy consumption through the caffeine stimulation in burning calories.

Why don’t you try one for yourself and see how it can radically change the way you manage your health? Tea benefits are real and the sooner you develop the habit of drinking it, the faster you can see results.
