Q: What are the health benefits of tea?
A: Long regarded in
the Orient as a health beverage, tea is now medically accepted as having natural
properties (polyphenols which process antioxidants) beneficial to health. A cup
of tea generally has only one-third the caffeine content of a typical cup of
coffee.
The health benefit of tea, long recognized for many centuries by
the ancient civilizations of the Orient will continue to be accepted in the
years ahead. While the beneficial health attributes of green tea have received
extensive media attention, all tea whether green, black or semi-fermented is
good for your health. Recent medical evidence has shown that tea drinking can
play an important role in reducing the incidence of strokes, cancer,
osteoporosis and heart disease. It may even prevent tooth decay - black tea has
a high concentration of naturally occurring fluoride.
The natural chemicals in tea which produce the beneficial
properties are called polyphenols which process antioxidants. The polyphenols in
tea contain up to 30 times the antioxidant potency of vitamins C and E.
Antioxidants reduce the adverse effects of oxygen in the body and protect the
body from the damaging effects of pollution and aging.
Average daily consumption of tea as measured in tea consuming
countries provides very few calories and a tiny quantity of fat. Valuable
minerals and vitamins are contributed by tea drinking and the daily requirement
of the following minerals and vitamins are obtained by the average consumption
of tea:
-
9% of Vitamin B1
-
25% of Vitamin B2
-
6% of Vitamin B6
-
16% of Calcium
-
10% of Folic Acid
Tea has hardly any calories and is low in sodium content. Tea has
traces of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and amino acids.
Tea contains less caffeine than coffee. Of course, caffeine
levels are affected by the blend, preparation method and brewing time. A typical
eight ounce cup of tea prepared from one tea bag brewed for three to five
minutes contains 40 milligrams of caffeine, compared with 100 milligrams in a
typical eight ounce cup of brewed coffee.
Tea is one of life's great pleasures. It is low in caffeine,
improves your mood, disposition and blood circulation. It is not as harsh as
coffee and contains less caffeine. Above all it is a quick and relaxing escape
from the hectic pace of modern life. Take your time to enjoy a cup of tea.
Better still give yourself the pleasurable and healthy experience of brewing and
drinking a good cup of premium quality tea.
