    5 health benefits offered by tea
    Drinking tea everyday can keep several diseases at bay.

    A steaming hot cup of tea has a lot of health benefits than you could have ever imagined. This addictive beverage has been an important part of traditional medicine for a long time. Also, Chinese and Japanese people consumed tea since ancient times for its medicinal effects. Tea is also beneficial for boosting your heart health and immunity power. Here are five benefits.

    Here is what our expert says

    • Tea is a beverage that is consumed universally. The polyphenols found in tea have been found to have significant health benefits.
    • These include catechins, theaflavins and thearubigins. These compounds possess high levels of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, cardioprotective properties.
    • Tea has been found protective against colorectal, prostate, lung and skin cancer. Theophylline and theobromine also found in tea are good bronchodilators, useful in asthma.

    Helps to fight cancer

    Consuming a hot cup of tea every day can help to lower the risk of cancer and promote a healthy lifestyle. The micronutrients called polyphenols found in green and black tea can regulate the growth of cancer cells and their survival, leading to a lower risk of developing the harmful disease. The essential catechin called EGCG found in green tea also has cancer-fighting properties.

    Helps in weight loss

    Tea is a great beverage to include in your diet to lose unhealthy fat. The flavonoid called catechins in tea boosts metabolism and breaks down body fat easily. Green tea is one of the most popular teas to include in your weight loss plan. The amino acids in this calorie-free drink are the reason why your body burns excess fat, thus aiding weight loss.

    Improves your mental health

    Consuming a cup of tea daily can help to alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and headache and help you to unwind after a long tiring day. It also lowers the risk of developing neurological disorders and brain diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Loaded with antioxidants, tea fights free radicals responsible for causing oxidative stress. It also washes out toxins linked to mental health issues.

    Helps in digestion

    Herbal teas are known for aiding digestion and can treat issues like diarrhea, constipation, ulcers, nausea, and upset stomach. The tannins in tea reduce intestinal inflammation and treat irregular bowel movements. You can try ginger and peppermint tea to soothe your stomach and improve digestion. Gingerol and shogaol in ginger tea can prevent vomiting by soothing the stomach lining.

    Reduces the risk of heart attack

    Tea is extremely beneficial in promoting your heart health and lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases like heart attack, blood clots, or stroke. Packed with anti-inflammatory properties, tea helps to soothe artery tissues, lower cholesterol levels and regulate blood pressure levels. According to a study, people who drank four cups of green tea daily had a 32% lower risk of developing a heart attack.
