Tea is Good for Body and Soul…
Tea has long been a part of daily life, cultural traditions and religious ceremonies around the world. It’s also a well-known source of comfort; during any kind of trauma, our first thought is to reach for the kettle! But here at Tea Garden, we go beyond just “a good cup of tea” to bring you the most unique and interesting flavours from around the world, along with their health-boosting properties. So in case you need another excuse to put the kettle on, here are 6 top health benefits of tea:
IT’S LOADED WITH ANTIOXIDANTS
All varieties of tea are rich in antioxidant polyphenols which assist with cellular repair and regeneration. Tea can help fight the signs of aging that are caused by environmental aggressors such as pollution and UV rays. Put simply, tea can help you look younger and feel healthier!
IT BOOSTS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
Matcha tea in particular is known for improving the body’s immunity. Sipping tea can increase your defences against illnesses like the common cold and even severe infections.
IT’S GREAT FOR HEART HEALTH
Research shows that teas such as black, green and oolong may reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke because they lower bad cholesterol and blood pressure.
IT CONTAINS LESS CAFFEINE THAN COFFEE
Regular teas don’t contain high levels of caffeine, while herbal teas contain none at all. So drinking tea can boost your energy levels, improve your focus and give you that all-important feel-good factor without the “buzz-and-slump” effect that coffee has.
IT GIVES YOU A HIT OF HYDRATION
Once thought to be dehydrating for the body, recent studies suggest that tea is actually more beneficial than plain water
IT SIMPLY MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD
Catching up with friends and family over a cup of tea is one of life’s little pleasures and can help improve emotional, spiritual and mental health. Not such a humble cuppa after all!
