Why Tea Is Good For You

When cold weather, hot drinks are attractive more and more!

 

Tea is not something new and people drink it from time immemorial. The drink is originally from China and was created by chance, and was not deliberately designed (discussions about this go so far and the history of origin has not been confirmed until the end). And now, after thousands of years, tea has acquired so much greater popularity that countless tastes will not leave anyone indifferent to this drink.

But the beauty of tea is not only in taste, but also health benefits. Therefore, we will not particularly delve into the history of the origin of this amazing drink, but consider its advantages in terms of utility. Tea contains polyphenols, all their beneficial properties have not been studied, but most of them are powerful antioxidants. They help fight cell damage, thereby giving them protection from oxidation and aging! What is important for active sports!

Consider several types of tea:

Black tea: so named directly because of the dark color of the leaves, it contains more caffeine, while the lower content of polyphenols. Usually it has a strong enough flavor.

Green tea: It has a high polyphenol content, a delicate astringent taste and a low caffeine content.

White tea: similar to green, also has a low caffeine content, while it has a natural sweetness, but does not contain sugar and calories. As in green - high content of polyphenols.

How much is better to use? Do not abuse, it is proposed to drink no more than 3 cups per day. And as a rule, it is better to brew tea leaves, rather than buying a finished drink bottled. After all, as a rule, it contains a lot of sugar and calories, which can spoil a good figure and make you work harder and harder. No matter what kind of tea you drink, the main thing is not to forget to combine it with regular physical activity and not to disturb the daily routine! Exercise, eat right, drink daily fluids and follow the regime with us!
