Tea

Drinking tea is one of my favourite libations and it has many benefits.

It is:

  1. Rich in Antioxidants: particularly green tea which can help protect the body against damage from free radicals and restore immunity.

  2. Hydration: Although tea does contain caffeine, it is also high in water, making it a hydrating beverage.

  3. Heart Health: Regular consumption of tea has been linked to a lower risk of heart disease and stroke.

  4. Cognitive Health: Some studies suggest that certain types of tea may help improve cognitive function and slow the progression of diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

  5. Weight Management: Tea, especially green tea, might aid in weight loss and fat burning.

  6. Digestive Health: Certain types of tea, like ginger and peppermint tea, can aid in digestion and soothe stomach issues.

  7. Improved Mood and Alertness: The caffeine and L-theanine in tea can help improve mood and alertness.
