Tea is enjoyed worldwide because of its calming and relaxing effects. But scientific research is just beginning to explore and discover the nutritional benefits associated with consuming tea. Evidence from nutritional research has shown that green or black tea from the evergreen tree known as Camellia sinensis has powerful substances known as polyphenols. The predominate polyphenol found in tea is called Epigallocatechin gallate which has anti-oxidant properties. The anti-oxidants help to protect the body against damage from free radicals. Free radicals are natural byproducts of metabolism, but may also be formed in the body as a result of smoking, air pollution, and exposure to sun light.
Some of the Health and Nutritional benefits observed when Tea is consumed routinely are:
Pure Tea is a natural drink with 0 calories, and no salts, carbonates and fats.
Anti-oxidants present in Tea provide protection to the organ systems from free radicals
formed within the body due to metabolism.
Reduction in the risk of Heart diseases and Strokes.
Aid in lowering Cholesterol levels, blood pressure and weight reduction.
Decrease in the prevalence of Dental decay, Diabetes Mellitus and Cancers.
Helps the body to fight against certain Infectious Digestive disorders.
