not just a cup of tea

Many of us surely loves to drink tea instead of coffee. Why? Maybe because they think that tea is lighter than a coffee when it comes to "caffeine" ingredients of the drink. Me too! I prefered to drink more tea than coffee. I enjoy drinking tea than coffee because of the different flavors they have. Yes! there are lots of flavors and different kinds of tea available nowadays. There are green tea, red tea, white tea and etc. What are the benefits of drinking tea? Green tea contains many nutrients and minerals that provide health benefits such as antioxidants. They are nutrients that can safely terminate free radicals before they damage vital parts of our cellular structure. Some common antioxidants include Vitamin C, and Vitamin E (which actually seeks out to destroy free radicals). However, compared to these highly popular vitamin antioxidants, EGCG, the antioxidant in green tea, is twenty-five times more effective than vitamin E and one hundred times more effective than vitamin C in neutralizing free radicals. Furthermore, as far as servings go, a cup of green tea usually provides more antioxidant capacity than a serving of broccoli, carrots, spinach or strawberries. Additionally, besides the antioxidants in green tea (EGCG, polyphenols, catechins, etc.), green tea also contains flavonoids which protects against infection and bruising, and thiamine which is an amino acid that is good for anti-stress effects and controls cortisol (which controls weight loss!).
These benefits are only from green tea, still there are lots of health benefits we can get from drinking tea and if your interested to look for other benefits and to taste the goodness of different kinds of tea try to visit the tea farm. Enjoy drinking! hehehe!
