Black tea benefits that you should know about:

A recent study found that regular black tea consumption is associated with a reduction of several risk factors that may lead to heart disease. First, it was discovered that three daily cups of black tea over a period of 12 weeks lead to a significant reduction in blood sugar levels and triglycerides, which are unhealthy fats. Triglyceride levels fell by 39 percent in male participants and 29 percent in females. Furthermore, drinking black tea increases the levels of HDL cholesterol, also known as the “good” type. Finally, the study suggests that black tea increases the amount of antioxidants present in the blood stream, which can protect blood vessels and tissue against oxidative stress and inflammation. The black tea that was tested contained no sugar or milk, as the latter may reduce the availability of polyphenols. (Click here to shop for black tea)
