If you are a tea lover like me, this post is definitely for you. In this post I will tell you the benefits from some teas and why you should continue to drink tea or just start to do it!
Also if you are trying to improve your health or drop a few pounds, think beyond superfoods and supplements, because this "super-drink" deserves your attention. The things we chew are not the only dietary factors that contribute to weight management, disease fighting, energy boosting and stress reducing. Consumed for thousands of years, tea has provided delicious medicinal benefits to many cultures around the globe.
Tea can help you in maintaining a healthy weight.
In 2011 a study found that the sujets that drunk green tea lost weight at a slower rate than the sujets that didn't drink the same compounds. The findings from this study suggest that green tea extracts may actually interfere with fat formation in the body. As a side note: green tea extracts should not be confused with bottled green tea drinks that may be full of added sugar. To get green tea extracts, opt for the real deal - boiling water with a good old fashioned teabag or loose tea!
Green tea may help you see better.
The eye, like any part of the body, can suffer oxidative stress. What if you could just add some green tea to your daily diet regimen to combat this? It was found that components in green tea are positively affected the tissues of the eyes, especially tissue related to the retina. Drink on green tea lovers and protect your precious eyeballs!
White tea can help you look younger! (YEEEESSS!)
White tea has a very high polyphenol count (that means it's really good for you), which deliver gorgeous benefits! A study demonstrated that tea drinkers may have already found their fountain of youth... in their mug! (Amazing, I know) In the study, it is said that extracts in white tea inhibited wrinkle production by strengthening elastin and collagen, two of the most important factors in your chances of developing fine lines and wrinkles. White tea can keep your joints younger too, which it's perfect if you want to continue to jog without pain.
Black tea can help to reduce stress levels.
Feeling stressed out? Well, a cup of black tea may be just what you need. It's said that black tea actually helps in reducing levels of the stress hormones in study participants. The good thing does not stop there, black tea showed also another benefit related to stress: blood pressure. As stress goes up, blood pressure does too, putting us at risk for developing a heart attack or stroke.
Made with fermented tea leaves, black tea has the highest caffeine content and forms the basis for flavored teas like chai, along with some intant teas. Studies have shown that black may protect lungs from damage caused by exposure to cigarette smoke. It also may reduce the risk of stroke.
It may help you fight diabetes.
The caffeine in tea may help in reducing the overall risk of diabetes.
Tea can make your ticker stronger!
One study found that green tea helped to improve endothelial function rather quickly after consumption but resist the urge to add milk to your tea if you are drinking for better cardiovascular health! That's because the caseins in milk may actually decrease the cardioprotective benefits you get from tea.
Green Tea and it's antioxidant power.
Made with steamed tea leaves, it has a high concentration of EGCG and has been widely studied. Green tea's antioxidants may interfere with the growth of bladder,breast, lung, stomach, pancreatic and colorectal cancers. It prevent clogging of the arterie, burn fat, counteract oxidative stress on the brain, reduce risk of neurological disorders like Alzheimers and Parkinson diseases, reduce risk of stoke and improve the cholesterol levels.
