Answers:
Yes, tea has health benefits, especially the way you drink it!. (without milk and sugar)!.
Heard of antioxidants!? Well tea is full of them!
Here's some info from tetley!.com!.au about tea and its health benefits!
Tea and Health
Most people know that tea is good for you, and here is some of the reasons why!.
It's natural!
All real teas, that is those made from the tea bush Camellia sinensis are good for you, green or black, caffeinated or decaffeinated!. Tea is a rich source of flavonoid antioxidants which help to maintain the body's defence system aiding its fight against harmful substances caused by environmental factors such as pollution, the sun and smoking!.
Tea counts towards your daily fluid intake
Tea is also good for hydration!. Our whole body from our skin to our vital organs needs fluid to operate efficiently!. Lack of fluids can lead to dehydration which causes lethargy, headaches, constipation and possible kidney problems, yet most of us don't drink enough fluid to keep us hydrated!.
The British Dietetic Association advises that we should drink at least 8 glasses of fluid a day!. Being over 99!.5% water, it's no wonder the Association lists a cup of tea as one of the fluids that can be drunk to achieve the recommended intake!. A cup of tea can count towards the body's daily fluid requirement when one cup is consumed per sitting!.
Tea can be good for the waistline
Not only is tea a rich source of flavonoid antioxidants and good for hydration, if taken without milk and sugar it is calorie free - a great way of relaxing, without an impact on the waistline!
Tea has low caffeine levels
Some mistakenly believe that the levels of caffeine in tea act as a diuretic, canceling out its hydration benefits!. The fact is that caffeine levels in tea are so low that even drinking six cups a day will have little diuretic effect!. There's around 50 mg of caffeine in each cup of tea - about the same as a bar of plain chocolate and only half of the amount of caffeine in a cup of filtered coffee!. Experts consider a ‘moderate' daily amount of caffeine to be 300 mg, the equivalent of six cups of tea!.
The added bonus in your cup - theanine!
Tea is also is a natural source of an amino acid called theanine!. Early research suggests that theanine promotes the production of alpha brain waves which can help to create a state of deep relaxation and alertness, the same that you might achieve through meditation!.
Leaving all the science aside, having a cuppa is simply a great way to take time out and relax, all whilst it delivers extra healthy benefits!
Hope this answers your question!

yes, certain types of tea are good for you, like green tea, which has lots of antioxidants!. there really aren't any health benefits to black tea, but it's good if you use it as a substitute for soda, etc!., as it has less calories, no sugar, etc!. It does have some caffeine, so that will help raise your metabolism slightly, but not as much as green tea!. raising your metabolism will help you lose weight, of course!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
