Tea Healthier Than Water

September 30th, 2008

According to researchers, drinking three or more cups of tea a day is as good for you as drinking water. It may even come with extra health benefits.

………………..

Contrary to the common belief that tea dehydrates, tea not only rehydrates as well as water does, but it can also protect against heart disease and some cancers.

Experts believe that flavonoids are the key ingredient in tea that promote health. These polyphenol antioxidants are found in many foods and plants, including tea leaves, and have been shown to help prevent cell damage.
