Importance of tea in our lives
Share
I'd like to begin talking about tea with a legend dating back to 2737 BC, about the Emperor of China, Shen Nung, who drank only boiled water for health reasons. One day, he was heating some of this liquid under a tree when a strong breeze blew and some leaves fell into the container of water. Shen Nung was amazed to see how the leaves dyed the liquid, but what he liked most was the exquisite flavor and aroma it gave to the water. And thus, tea was born.
Whether true or not, it's an incredible story. And just as it sounds, tea amazes us in many ways, as it's an important plant for our health. Here I'll show you some of its most impressive benefits.
Reduces the risk of heart disease
Tea prevents blood clotting, which is one of the causes of strokes and heart attacks. Although there is no scientific evidence, a link has been observed between tea consumption and a reduced risk of these diseases .
Promotes good circulation
There are various types of tea, among them green and red are those that contribute to circulation, since they improve blood circulation apart from being an excellent diuretic .
Attacks anemia
Tea is one of the foods included in the list to combat iron deficiency. Therefore, it ends up being one of the most effective natural methods against anemia .
Protects the immune system
Tea has a high amount of flavonoids and vitamin H that help our body fight diseases and, in the same way, prevent cellular damage.
As you can see , a cup of tea isn't just delicious to have with breakfast or between meals. It also contributes to our health in many ways . Therefore, I invite you to indulge in a good cup of tea and relax on Tea Day.
