A recent study published in the journal
Circulation found that drinking more than two cups of tea a day
decreased the risk of death following a heart attack by 44 percent.
Even less spirited tea drinkers were rewarded: Consuming just two
cups a day decreased the risk of death by almost a third.

Cancer: |
|
Green tea extracts were found to
inhibit the growth of bladder cancer cells in the lab - while other
studies suggest that drinking green tea protects against developing
stomach and esophageal cancers.
|
Arthritis: |
|
Research suggests that older women who are tea drinkers are
60 percent less likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis than those
who do not drink tea.
|
Bone Density: |
|
Drinking
tea regularly for years may produce stronger bones. Those who drank
tea on a regular basis for 10 or more years had higher-bone mineral
density in their spines than those who had not.

Parkinson's Disease: |
|
Tea consumption may be
protective against developing this debilitating neurological
disorder.

Oral Health: |
|
Rinsing with tea may
prevent cavities and gum disease.
Almost on a weekly basis, we are reading a new study
from a highly-accredited institute describing how a certain tea has
a particular benefit for our health and why it is good to consume
it. We realize that all this information can be overwhelming and
hard to remember |
