Healthy Benefits Of Tea


Looking forwared to this weekend going to Richmond, VA for a St. Patrick's Art Festival. I will sell my teas and bask in the spring weather as I share a booth with my sisters-in-law and their wonderful journals, handmade paper, and wonderful photography. I know we will be not only passing out samples, but enjoying the healthy benefits ourselves.

Researchers around the world have discovered that tea contains powerful chemicals and antioxidants that show great potential in preventing the top two major causes of death in the United States: heart disease and cancer; as well as promoting health throughout the body. Over 500 studies have been performed on green tea alone, and the evidence overwhelmingly suggests that drinking tea--whether green, red,black, oolong or white--is good for health and that the more tea you drink, the more your benefits multiply.

Here are just a few of the health benefits gaining evidence through research:
-Tea may reduce the risk of heart disease
-Tea may reduce the risk and growth of cancer
-Tea aids digestion
-Tea improves concentration and reduces fatigue
-Tea fights allergies
-Tea wipes out the germs that cause bad breath
-Tea may improve immune system functioning
-Tea relaxes and revives the body and mind
-Tea prevents cavities and improves overall bone density
-Tea may be helpful combating arthritis and rheumatism
-Tea may aid in weight-loss
