1. Tea contains antioxidants
Tea's antioxidants help to protect your body from the signs of aging and the negative effects of pollution. Green tea may lower highly blood pressure and Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
2. Tea has less caffeine than coffee
Coffee usually has 2-3 times the caffeine of tea. An 8-oz cup of coffee contains about 140 mg caffeine; tea contains only 30-40 mg per cup. There are both positive and negative effects of caffein consumption, but too much of caffeine can result in insomnia, nervousness, jitters and/or rapid heartbeat.
3. Tea bolsters your immune defenses
When 21 volunteers drank either 5 cups of tea or coffee each day for four weeks, researchers saw higher immune system activity in the blood of the tea drinkers.
4. Tea helps keep you hydrated
It used to be thought that caffeinated beverages couldn't contribute to our overall daily fluid requirement. however, recent research has shown that the caffeine is irrelevant- tea and other caffeinated beverages do contribute to our fluids need.
5. Tea is calorie-free
Tea doesn't have any calories... unless you add sweetener or milk. Cutting back on just 250 fewer calories per day (by eliminating sweetener or milk) can result in loosing one pound per week.
6. Tea increases you metabolism
Green tea has been shown to actually increases metabolic rate; you can burn 70-80 additional calories by drinking one cup of green tea per day.
