Drink Black Tea and Stay Healthy
Tea is one of the most commonly consumed beverages all over the world. Most of us drink tea with cream and sugar; but to get the real benefits of tea it has to be consumed without cream and sugar. I know it’s a little tough, because of its bitter taste. But if you try having it, starting with just a few sips a day you will acquire the taste for it. Another way to make it a little inviting is to squeeze in a few drops of lime to it. Two cups of black tea a day adds a lot to our well being.
When I was little, my mother used to give me lime tea for fever or diarrhea, I used to wonder how it works for both, but it really does, studies show that tea helps prevent diarrhea and helps prevent pneumonia
Tea has a great amount of anti oxidant in it, which helps prevent aging, by giving a healthy younger looking skin. Anti oxidants prevent certain forms of cancers.
Black tea helps weight lose; by increasing the metabolism of fat; now that sure is good news. It also helps prevent heart attack and stroke, it lowers LDL cholesterol.

I used to think that, drinking tea damages my teeth, but it actually helps prevent tooth decay, and it kills the virus which creates bad breath. And the amount of caffeine in a cup of tea is far too less than in a cup of coffee. Most of us drink more coffee than tea, coffee may give you the sudden refreshing feeling, but tea can improve your health along with the refreshment. So next time you go to that coffee machine at work, think again, why not a cup of black tea.
