I am kind of hoping that everyone
has found their ten minute break for the daily tea time by now. Here is a list of different teas that are easily
accessible and that you might want to consider to drink in your tea time for
your health.
Green
tea: This has been popular in East Asia, India and recently gaining its
popularity in the U.S for its health benefits. Some studies show that
it prevents certain types of cancers, risk of stroke and some mental
disorders. It is also known to control the cholesterol levels and help burn fat
in the body. Since this tea contains caffeine, those who are sensitive to caffeine
should be cautious about drinking it
Black
tea: Probably the most popular tea.
This tea is known to help reduce risk of some heart disease like stroke. It
also has abundant antioxidants, some of which are believed to help protect
lungs from cigar smoke. This tea has lots of caffeine as well so drink it with
caution if you are sensitive to caffeine.
White
tea: made from immature tea leaves, it
is the least processed tea. This is becoming very popular. This tea has the most polyphenols, a type of anti-oxidants that is
believed to be a powerful anti-cancer substance.
Oolong
tea: Good for weight loss. It boots metabolism and catalyzes the body to burn fat. A popular tea in China. Some say this tea helps maintain the body weight especially after consuming greasy
food because they believe this tea flushes away the fat from their bodies.
