More Benefits Of Drinking Tea
January 28th, 2011In our last post, we gave 4 reasons for drinking tea. You can find that post here.
We have put together four more benefits that tea drinkers benefit from. While this website is about Wuyi Oolong Tea, which we think is the best of the best, there are plenty of reasons to drink any kind of tea, whether it is black tea, green tea, white tea, or even some kind of Texas Sweet Tea.
Here are four more important benefits that you receive by drinking tea on a regular basis:
1. Tea gives your immune system a boost so you can keep from getting various diseases or fight them off more easily. So if you have a sluggish immune system try some tea to see what happens.
2. Tea has anti-inflammatory qualities. You can place a cool tea bag on your eyes even to reduce puffiness that comes with sleeping sometimes
3. There have been studies done that prove that drinking tea each day lowers the risk from dying from a heart attack a whopping 44 percent. This was by drinking 3 or more cups of tea daily. This is because tea contains myricetin, kaempferol, and quercetin which are all flavanoids. In fact, drinking only 1 ½ cups of tea daily has shown to lower the risk of having a heart attack by 40% compared to people that do not drink tea.
4. Tea is a great digestive aid. After eating have a cup of tea to help your stomach digest your food more effectively. It can be used for relief of stomach cramps too.
These are just some of the benefits from drinking tea. Tea has been drunk for centuries in various parts of the world. If you are not a tea drinker right now, you should really become one so you can enjoy the advantages of consuming it.
