Benefits of Tea

Indeed, apart from water, tea is one of the most natural beverages available on the market. It also provides a very palatable and pleasant way for us to take in the necessary amount of fluid our bodies require daily for good health.
Here are some good general health pointers on tea:

• Tea acts as a diuretic and therefore helps the kidney action as well as that of the colon
   
• The intake of water drunk with tea also aids the prevention of stone formation and constipation
   
• Tea helps with digestion, and is, generally speaking, a good beverage to drink both with and after meals
   
• It helps the body's digestive juices work better, because it does not contain either alcohol or sugar, unless you add it yourself.
   
• It also helps the stomach muscles' action thus aiding digestion and taking the "heaviness" out of a meal
   
• After exercise, tea is excellent. Warm drinks are absorbed by the body more quickly than cold drinks, and thus a cup of tea replaces lost body fluid as well as being reviving and refreshing.
   
• For children of 10 years and over, tea is particularly good compared to carbonated drinks as it does not contain sugar. If your child likes sugar, its intake can be controlled more easily with tea.
