4 Surprising Health Benefits of Tea
Health Benefits of Black Tea, Green Tea, and Green Tea
Do teas magically transform you into Superman, Batman, or Popeye the Sailor Man?
No.
…But many nutritional supplements, protein powders, and other energy drinks claim to. They tell you what you want to hear so you’ll buy. They happily stick millions into their marketing to learn what you want to hear and repeat it to you over and over again.
And they don’t have any more research supporting them than anything else (and often times much less so).
However, teas certainly have proven research backing their health benefits. A simple search on “tea” at the United States’ National Institutes of Mental Health returns more than 80,000 results!
And best of all, the only downside to tea lies in the fact it has caffeine. Other than that, tea has no downside.
Health benefits without negative side-effects? Sounds good. Let’s explore a few more health benefits you can get with various kinds of tea:
1. Keep Your Skin Health and Youthful with White Tea
Seems like everyone wants to look a little younger, right? Well, white tea helps you with that.
The antioxidant properties it contains quickly repair your skin when damaged. And studies have shown it undoubtedly protects your skin from ultraviolet light.
2. White Tea Improves Your Heart’s Health
Heart disease remains the leading killer of both men and women in the United States – and across the entire globe.
White tea, along with fruits and vegetables, contains flavonoids, which decrease your risk for many cardiovascular disorders and reduce your blood pressure.
Again, it’s not like you can eat whatever you please and expect white tea to provide a quick fix. But it’s certainly helpful to drink – without leading to any serious side-effects whatsoever.

3. Black Tea Heals Cuts and Wounds Faster
Believe it or not, but simply by pressing a cool, damp black tea bag on your physical wounds leads to them healing faster.
The tannins found in black tea act as astringents, which help stop bleeding and swelling from fresh cuts and scrapes.
However, it does not protect against infection, which your body (and doctor) can help you with.
You can also do the same to reduce swelling and pain in your gums!

4. Black Tea Gives Your Immune System a Big Boost – Even More than Fruits and Vegetables!
Don’t like getting sick? Like we don’t know the answer, who wants to get sick?
Make black tea a regular part of your life.
Scientists at Tufts University measured the ORAC capacity of black tea. “ORAC” stands for “Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity,” and it measures the antioxidants present in a particular food.
Black and green tea, when brewed for 5 minutes, have higher scores than any fruit or vegetable. Black tea scored slightly higher than green tea.
We have dozens of black teas and white teas you can choose from to get the health benefits listed above – with absolutely no negative side-effects whatsoever!
