Millions of people would agree to the fact that tea is an exceptional drink to taste and a healthful drink to swallow. It not only provides taste to the tea lovers but also ensnares its consumers with its potential benefits. There are numerous and millions of benefits of adding tea to your regular diet.
On the contrary it is superstitiously said that if you drink tea you would get acidity, complexion of your skin would change, and kids should avoid having tea. Why so? Do these people even know the value of drinking tea in everyday life? Maybe they are not familiar with the natural effects of organic tea. Let’s read further to know more about ‘natural tea and its benefits’.
There comes no end if I start describing about the benefits of regular tea drinking. I am not talking about the regular tea that we drink that is concocted with sugar, milk and other additives but, the one which is made with the natural extracts of the fresh tea leaves being plucked from the tea estates.
How would you define tea?
A drink made from the extracts of natural herbs or ingredients is tea. The natural herbs mainly comprise of the tea leaves obtained from the tea-like plant known as camellia sinensis. This plant has all the characteristics that a perfect cup of tea would require.
Tea is a concocted drink, which actually reflects the calmness and peacefulness within the tea-consumer. Unlike coffee, it has a comparatively low amount of caffeine but still it is counted among the stress reliever beverages and is rated as one of the highly consumed drinks worldwide.
I myself am a tea-enthusiast and have tried numerous varieties of teas, with green tea and oolong tea being my all-time favourite drinks. There are several benefits that I prosper while having my cup of teas:
Anti-aging properties
Tea helps in building a radiating skin. Yes, that is something unbelievable but it is true. You must prefer to make your own tea with your own hands and not ask anyone else to do the same as it would not bring that taste or flavour, which a tea-freak would desire. The perfectly brewed cup of tea made by your own hands would always make you feel agile.
Lower level of cholesterol:
It helps me stay fit. Tea is known as a healthful beverage which lowers the cholesterol level in the human body. Healthy humans or health conscious people tend to keep their cholesterol levels up to the mark and majority of them are tea-drinkers. While drinking tea you unknowingly count yourself among those healthy people cum tea-drinkers living on Earth who feel alive while having their tea slurps.
Taste + No Dental problem
Tea tastes awesomely good and also gives me the benefit of not having any dental issues such as cavities or bad breath. Having two cups of tea in the entire day releases my stress and helps me in avoiding the dental problems.
It helps in digesting the food well:
As soon as I wake up there is one task that I always do and that is make some tea for me after half an hour of having my breakfast. It helps me in activating my body cells and gives me a refreshing, natural and healthy vibes in the entire day. No doubt, tea is a stress buster for me but it also plays a significant role in helping me digest my food. The only thing that you need is, to pay attention that when you schedule your tea drinking.
The other benefits of tea include:
