Do you know the benefits of drinking tea?
I have to admit that I don’t drink tea. I like my herbal teas but lets face it, they don’t actually contain any tea. In a morning I like my decaf americano. But having done the research on tea, I may need to change my habits.
Prof Feng and his team in collaboration with Essex University and Cambridge have been researching the impact of long term tea drinking habits. They concluded that individuals that drank either green tea,oolong tea or black tea at least four times a week for about 25 years had better brain health than people who don’t drink tea.
So what are the other benefits of tea?
- Daily consumption of tea reduced the risk of cognitive decline by 50% in older people.
- Improves mood.
- Protects agains cardiovascular disease.
