The Power of Tea

Tea is the world's most popular non alcoholic drink and one of the most potent sources of antioxidants in nature, more potent than any fruit or vegetable. Teas antioxidants offer protection from heart disease, stroke and cancer. They appear to protect against heart disease by slowing the breakdown of "bad" LDL cholesterol, preventing blood clots and improving blood vessel function. People who drink a cup or two of tea per day have a 46 percent lower risk of developing narrowed arteries. The antioxidants also protect against the DNA damage that causes cells to turn cancerous. It is believed that one reason the Japanese have lower rates of many diseases (including cancer) is that they drink so much green tea, a major storehouse of immunity-boosting compounds, including potent antioxidants like EGCG. All tea contains antioxidants that belong to a group called flavonoids and is especially rich in catechins, which give it most of its health benefits.
