How healthy is tea?

Us Brits love a cuppa’ and it’s the most popular drink in the UK, but is it actually as healthy for us as we think? Well, it’s great in terms of hydration because its mostly water, but black tea does contain a considerable amount of caffeine and too much of this can actually contribute to stiff arteries. On the other hand, some researchers have found that tea can help reduce the risk of a heart attack, whilst the antioxidants in tea protect against a number of cancers. So yes tea can be good for us but as with everything, it’s good in moderation. It’s also good to mix it u because if you’re only drinking black tea, you won’t get the benefits of green tea, fruit teas and other types on the market. Green tea is becoming one of the most popular and that’s partly because of its healthy benefits, so mixing it up and drinking lots of teas is likely to be good for you in the long run.
