Default Top 10 Health Benefits of Tea

Tea (to borrow a catchphrase) does a body good. While some marketers
tend to place undue emphasis on just how much good tea can do us,
there's compelling evidence nonetheless to show that it can benefit
our health on a number of fronts. Here are some of the potential
benefits we've examined thus far at the Twinings Tea Blog.

1. Heart Health

Have a healthy heart. It's a goal all of us should pursue and if
a number of studies on the matter are any indication, tea might help.

5. Lung Cancer

The health problems posed by tobacco smoking are surely no
secret to anyone these days. What probably isn't so well known is that
tea may help guard against lung cancer.

benefits drinking tea can provide, including the possibility that it
may lower your cholesterol level.
