HEALTH BENEFITS OF TEA

Most people that drink tea on a regular basis do not know the health benefits of tea. Tea-either black tea, green tea can have a positive effect on your health. Consistent studies of large group of people have shown that those who drink the most tea also have the lowest risk of heart disease. In a study of men and women in the Boston, shows that the participants who drank at least 1 cup of tea a day had 44% lower risk of heart attack than those who drank no tea.
Not neglecting the fact that it can also be helpful in controlling blood sugar, in Taiwan, twenty people with diabetes who were taking an antihyperglycemic drug were randomly assigned also to drink either 1,500ml (about 6 cups) of oolong tea (a type of tea that is halfway between black and green) or an equal amount of plain water every day for 30 days. They switched of and repeated the process. The researchers found that after 30 days of tea drinking, the participants had markedly lower blood sugar levels. There was no change after 30 days of drinking plain water. Probably the catechins and other chemicals called polyphenols in tea, not the caffeine that have the beneficial effect.
A daily cup or two brewed black or green tea could be beneficial to your health in overall and can even help speed up weight loss.A daily cup or two brewed black or green tea could be beneficial to your health in overall and can even help speed up weight loss. Tea can help keep your bones strong as you age. A study of over 1,200 older British women found that those who drank tea had higher bone mineral density levels in their spines and hips than those who drank no tea at all, because higher bone mineral density generally means a lower risk of fracture (from falling, for example), it appears that tea had a definite protective effect for these women.
There is some suggestive evidence that green tea could increase your metabolic rate and slightly help speed up weight loss. A recent study of ten healthy young men showed that when they took capsules containing caffeine or fiber. In other words, the green tea extract made their metabolism run faster so they burned more fat. The study is a small one, done on healthy young men in a highly controlled setting. It is recomended to drink 1 to 2 cups of tea (especially brewed green tea) daily. Brewed green tea has the most catechins and polyphenols and the least caffeine, with only about 30mg to 40mg per 6-ounce cup. There's no reason not to sweeten the tea with your favovrite sugar sustitute if you like.
