Tea is a flavorful way of getting enough fluid into your body each day. Studies have shown teas can help protect your teeth and your heart, as well as help, stave off cancer.
Here are some health benefits of tea:
Tea contains antioxidants
Antioxidants work to prevent the body’s version of rust and thus help to keep us young and protect us from damage from pollution. Load up on antioxidants with white tea, which is less processed than black or green tea so it retains more beneficial antioxidants.
Tea has less caffeine than coffee
Herbal blends have no caffeine, while traditional teas have less than 50 percent of what is found in coffee. That means you can consume herbal blends without side effects on your nervous system.
Tea may reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke
Individuals who drank four or more cups of green tea daily had a 32 percent reduction in the risk of having a heart attack and lower levels of LDL cholesterol. Four cups of green tea may keep you running to the bathroom, but you can get the same benefit from drinking one cup of matcha tea, which is made from ground green tea leaves and is said to be the nutritional equivalent of 10 cups of regular green tea.
Tea may help protect your bones
Data from recent animal studies have shown that green tea may prevent bone loss. Moringa, a plant that’s native to South Asia, has been known for its medicinal properties and is now quickly becoming a mainstream superfood. With more calcium than milk, as well as iron, vitamin A and K, moringa tea is a great addition to help keep those bones strong.

Tea may keep your smile bright
Japanese researchers have found that tea can decrease tooth loss. It changes the pH in your mouth when you drink it and that may be what prevents cavities. Beyond that, tea, unlike many other beverages does not appear to erode tooth enamel.
Boost the immune system
Studies have shown tea can tune up immune cells so they reach their targets quicker. Holy basil or tulsi tea has been used by Ayurvedic practitioners for centuries to help keep the immune system strong after injuries or illnesses thanks to its antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Help in the fight against cancer
More research is needed regarding the consumption of tea to help in the fight against cancer. If you have got a strong family history of cancer you can increase your tea consumption.
Herbal tea and the digestive system
Herbal teas, in particular chamomile, can be good for people with irritable bowel syndrome because it is antispasmodic. Ginger teas can calm nausea. Drink a cup of both with ginger chamomile tea.
Unadulterated Tea
Unadulterated tea is calorie-free and it is an alternative to water. It provides so many options for flavor and versatility. You can have it hot or cold and you don’t have to put anything in it. However, you can add a cinnamon stick or ginger.
Iced Teas
No matter what the season, tea can be a tasty beverage since it can be served iced or hot.
But its benefits go far beyond refreshment. There are plenty of research showing that drinking tea can actually improve your health.
