BENEFITS OF TEA

We all know how good a decent cup of tea can make us feel. But did you know how good it could really be for you?

It's great when something you love is also good for you - such as drinking tea! Over the years, there have been numerous reports about the benefits of tea.

The main one being that they're a good source of antioxidants - 'flavonoid antioxidants' to be exact. As well as tea, you can also find them naturally in foods such as fruit and vegetables.

Along with other antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin A and chlorophyll, flavonoid antioxidants can help keep our body's cells and tissues healthy by mopping up 'free radicals' - atoms or molecules with unpaired electrons, hence 'free'. Although all living organisms make free radicals, they're also present in things like pollution. And while we all need free radicals, a build-up in our bodies can damage cells and DNA. So that's a big thumbs up for tea!
