In the US, we rely heavily on medicine and medical intervention for our health and well-being. For most, the answers that we seek to many of our health problems can be found in our grocery store. I’ve always heard that black tea was good for those trying to lose weight, but I figured that there had to be more to black tea than just that. Black tea is the second most consumed drink in the world behind water, and once you explore the many health benefits associated with it, you can easily see why.
- Regular consumption of this beverage reduces the risk of stroke and heart disease according to a study conducted in the Netherlands. An additional study conducted in Saudi Arabia found that black tea reduces the risk of heart disease by fifty percent.
- Black tea is rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants prevent free radicals and peroxides from damaging your DNA, which can cause chronic illnesses.
- A study from Pace University says that black tea can deactivate certain viruses like Herpes and prevent other diseases like pneumonia, cystitis, and diarrhea.
- A Rutgers study shows that black tea can help prevent breast, stomach and prostate cancer.
- In Asia, diabetes is commonly treated with black tea because of its ability to prevent spikes in glucose levels after eating meals.
