Hey there!

I think that everyone is well aware what tea is, am I right? Some might think that drinking tea is only for old people... Well I'm gonna show you in today's post that drinking tea does your body good and that you will be ready to change your order after having lunch or dinner.

Here are the TOP 10 Health benefits of Tea:

1. Tea contains antioxidants which protects your body from the ravages of aging and the effects of pollution.

2. Tea contains less caffein than coffee. An 8-oz cup of coffee contains around 135mg of caffein whereas tea only contains 30 to 40 mg per cup. So if drinking coffee gives you jitters, causes indigestion or headaches, I'd switch to tea.

8. Tea helps you to stay hydrated. People always thought that caffeine beverages couldn't contribute to our daily fluid requirement because you have to pee a lot. However, recent research has shown that the caffein really doesn't matter. The only time caffeine becomes a problem is while drinking too much, like 5 to 6 cups at a time.
