Tea for our health

I just read my google reader, and I would like to share to you the benefit of tea.

Some of us might already have the 'good' habit of drinking tea - in every of their meals or occasionally in high-tea-time. But the good news is that tea -almost all tea- contains some amount of antioxidants, and as we all know that antioxidants are good for our health, and being honest, it is really required in our body.

If you allow me to go little further with medical terms, tea contains polyphenol which is a chemical compound that can be found in plants, that is believed having antioxidant effect in it.

Research shows us that an average cup of brewed green or black tea has 150-200 mg of flavonoids. So, having 2 cups of tea per day will be a good start for us to have a healthier lifestyle.

As a closing, we live our life now in a world that is no longer healthy (sorry but that's the fact). Everyday everywhere we live with a lot of pollution, chemical things that are not good for our health. We do need some balancing process for that. While we often are exposed to the 'oxidant' - famously known as the bad free radicals, we then need the antioxidant to counterpart those unhealthy substances.
