8 ways for Healthy Living, Diet Plan & Effective Weight Loss: Part8

     8.     Drink Tea 
     
     Quote from Jane Pettigrew from The Tea Companion

     “Ever since tea was discovered, it has been thought to have wide-ranging health benefits and has been used in Chinese medicine for centuries. Tea's most obvious asset is that it is a completely natural product and contains no artificial colouring, preservatives, or flavourings (except, of course, additional flower, fruit, or spice flavourings in scented teas). It is also virtually calorie-free if taken without milk or sugar, and can play a major role in maintaining bodily fluid balance.
Research suggests that the consumption of both green and black tea may reduce the risk of cancer. It is thought that components in black tea may have an anti-oxidant effect, helping to prevent the formation of cancer-inducing substances in body cells.
Various research programs conducted over the last few years indicate tea's possible benefits against heart disease. The reason for this is thought to be because the caffeine in tea acts as a gentle stimulant to the heart and circulatory system and thus helps to keep the walls of the blood vessels soft. It is also thought that the polyphenols in tea help to inhibit the absorption of cholesterol into the blood stream and help to prevent the formation of blood clots.
The caffeine in tea can increase concentration, alertness, accuracy, and enhances the senses of taste and smell. It also stimulates the digestive juices and the metabolism, including the kidneys and liver, thus helping to eliminate toxins and other unwanted substances from the body.”

Tea Bag or Loose Leaf?

Many people may prefer one or the other but really which one is better?
People who are not exposed to loose leaf tea will more than likely choose plain supermarket brand tea. I think it's more to do with convenience.

Being subjected to several processes including withering, rolling, drying, cutting and blending; the intensity of the tea is lost and most of the flavour is severely affected. A friend of mine described it as tasting 'like brown paper dipped in water'.
However, not all tea bags are bad. in fact there are quite a lot of options out in the market nowadays ranging from flavoured Black tea, Green tea and even Rooibos.  You will find more variety in health or organic shops. 


Then you have the powdered and flavoured variety. But we'll save that for a later discussion.


I suppose I am somewhat biased towards Loose leaf tea because I can always taste the difference. The taste and smell is absolutely divine. And because fresh is always better, you get all the anti oxidants, undiluted.

I don't know about you but when I make a cup of tea, I go on relaxation mode straight away. I take a deep breath to smell that gorgeous exotic scent, and can't stop that sigh that escapes my lips when I take my first sip. Aaah....


Whatever it is you prefer, enjoying the experience is all that really matters, isn't it?
