Tea is an ancient drink that offers a huge range of health benefits to regular tea consumers. One of the beverage’s most notable benefits is its high level of antioxidants. Antioxidants promote overall health. Antioxidants are believed to play a role in protecting against several cancers. Additionally, many teas are high in oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). This characteristic helps tea destroy free radicals, which can damage DNA and increase the risk of various diseases and cancers. Although the body can destroy free radicals on its own, it cannot destroy all of them by itself.
Beyond these benefits, drinking tea has been linked to lower stroke and heart attack risks. This particular benefit is most notable among individuals who drink one to three cups of green tea every day. Green tea drinkers had a 35 percent lower risk of stroke and close to a 20 percent lower risk of heart attack. Drinking tea also lowers cortisol levels. Cortisol is a stress hormone that can be damaging when it is persistently high. The hormone makes the skin age faster and increases fat in the stomach, so drinking tea also promotes weight loss in the stomach and better skin due to its ability to lower cortisol levels.
