In the previous post i wrote about coffee as a healthy drink and today i decided to discuss about tea as a healthy drink and the benefits that come out of it.Tea has been served for thousands of years. They come from leaves and when heated, provide us with a lot of health benefits.For one, tea contains antioxidants which prevent or slow down the oxidative damage to our body.
But what kind of tea should you drink? Well there are too many to mention so let’s just stick with two namely black and green tea,.in fact, there are two other teas namely oolong and white tea,all came from the same plant but what sets apart are processing. The leaves for making green tea are dried for a shorter period of time compared to the other one. Black tea also goes through a fermenting process before being packed and sold in the market.
The best part about making this your regular health drink is that you can serve this hot or cold. This allows you to have it any time of the day or night so all you need is some water, a cup or a tall glass.
Tea is a good health drink. While some prefer Green Tea, did you know that you can get the same benefits by drinking Black Tea?
If you drink Black tea regularly, you will have healthy arteries and increase your blood flow because it has antioxidants known as falconoid that also give the tea this rich flavor. Your cholesterol levels will also drop, you can protect yourself from certain cancers, develop stronger bones, have fresher breath and fewer cavities.Overweight people can benefit from drinking tea because drinking tea regularly increases your metabolism.
Just like coffee, Black Tea contains caffeine. The difference between the two is the fact that a cup of Black Tea or any other only contains 30 to 40 mg. of caffeine while coffee contains about 135 mg.
Another benefit of Black Tea is the fact that it is calorie free. However, this will only stay that way as long as you don’t add any sweeter or milk which can’t be helped since tea tastes blend without these additives.
Heating is important to get the most of a sachet of Black tea. This is because the heat helps the tea leaves impart their taste to the water. To do that, you have to set the sachet in the kettle for 2 to 3 minutes before pouring it into the cup.
For those who decide to put the sachet straight into the cup, take out the bag first before drinking to prevent it from sinking to the bottom. Nothing bad will happen if you don’t except that when you are almost finished with the cup, the tea bag will probably land on your face.
If you don’t like the taste of Black Tea and want to sweeten it a bit, try putting in some sugar, honey or a slice of lemon. You may even add milk similar to those who drink coffee.
You can have a snack whenever you feel like drinking Black Tea. This is great to have with biscuits, cake or cookies. This will even be better if you decide to have this before you go to work, as you are relaxing in the house or when you are entertaining visitors.Overweight people also can benefit from drinking tea because drinking tea regularly increases your metabolism. Another benefit of drinking tea is its ability to strengthen your immune system. For instance, no one knows yet the cause of the common cold but it still happens. If you drink tea regularly, your immune system will be strong enough to prevent you from getting this contagious infection. Although water is the best thing to drink whenever you feel dehydrated, studies have shown that tea can provide the same thing as well. This is because tea is a diuretic making you urinate regularly so there is a balance between what goes in and out of your body.
Tea also does not have any calories unlike those found in energy drinks. This is because it does not contain any sugar. The only time that you will be ingesting calories is when you decide to add sweetener or milk with this drink
Black Tea does not always have to be served with hot water. You can enjoy a cold glass by adding some ice and honey or you can add orange juice, apple juice, mint or gingerale.
It is also great to serve with egg nog by mixing some eggs, ground nutmeg, milk, vanilla extract, salt and whip cream.
Aside from these, there are other mixtures you can blend with Black Tea. All you have to do is read up on it and try out a few experiments on your own. That way, you have something healthier to offer yourself and guests whenever you have someone over.
Try it today you will love it,Who knows? You might even be addicted to it..
We'll discuss about Green Tea in the next post
