Be it organic or not (although organic tea has more benefits), black tea is an amazing drink that not only smells and tastes great, but also boosts your overall energy and health levels.
How exactly does black tea do that? Let’s find out!
Did you know that drinking tea will reduce the risk of a stroke? According to a recent study, those consuming 3 or more cups of black / green tea had a 21% lower chance of stroke compared to people who drank only one cup of tea.
You’ve probably heard about the benefits of antioxidants and the good news is, black tea does contain a lot of them. Most importantly, they are different from those found in fruits or vegetables and help to protect your DNA from alcohol, tobacco or other toxic damage.
Another great reason to enjoy a cup of fresh black tea everyday: oral health. According to the recent studies, polyphenols, found in black tea kill and restrict various types of bacteria growth in the mouth, reducing the risk of cavities and tooth decay.
According to a Department of Genetics study, women who consume at least a few cups of black tea per day have a lower chance of ovarian cancer than those who do not. All thanks to amazing phenols and antioxidants.
As you might have heard, caffeine does wonders for your brain, respiratory system, and general blood flow. Thanks to the moderate amounts of caffeine in black tea, people get an energy boost without their hearts being over-stimulated.
Did you know that tannins found in the black tea can fight viruses and protect you from various nasty diseases and infections? In addition to that, an important type of antigen called alkylamine acts as a booster and improves your immune system’s response rate.
Due to various antigens, black tea was found to kill bacteria that cause influenza and stomach flu. That’s not all, though – another compound (tannin) also has a remedial effect on gastric and intestinal illnesses.
As you age, your bones become weaker and weaker. The solution? Black tea. Why? It strengthens your bones! According to various studies, those who regularly drink black tea tend to have stronger bones that people who do not.
It was shown in a recent study that people who consumed at least two cups of black tea per day had a 70% lower chance of developing a type 2 diabetes.
Another great benefit of black tea? It reduces stress hormone levels in your body and helps you to relax when consumed at the end of the day. In fact, the amino acid found in black tea has also been shown to promote alpha wave production. What do these waves do? Slow down your heart rate, help you to become calmer, and improves your learning and memorization speed.
So having read the list, it should now be pretty obvious why drinking black tea can be extremely beneficial to your mind and your body.
