Tea
Tea IS one of those beverages that people all over the world consume, regardless of culture, time, or age. But how much do we really know about
tea? Tea is produced from plant known as the Camellia sinensis. There are actually thousands of different kinds of tea. The variations occur as
result of the region at where the plant is grown, the time at which the tea leaves are harvested, and the processing method. Each variety of tea has its
individual characteristics, including different tastes and health benefits.
It is worth noting, however, that consuming tea too often is not
harmless as seems. Tea, though consumed by people all over the world, is not
considered universally beneficial or even likable. People have often complained that drinking four to five cups of tea in a day has led to several health
issues. Several studies conducted on the of pros and cons of tea have revealed that a large intake of tea leads O collection of toxic materials in the
body. This is mainly caused by the compound aluminum found in tea. Also,
people often criticize the beverage as it tends to have an unpleasant
aftertaste
Though tea has some negative effects, we cannot ignore positive side. For instance, green tea is consumed widely because it has various
health benefits. Some studies suggest that green tea can lower the chances of infection and improve dental health. Also, people who drink green tea
regularly have reported significant weight loss.
tO is also believed to reduce the risk of developing type
diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Many
scientists believe that the antioxidants in tea lower
the risk of developing cancer. Black tea, for example, is beneficial for health as it helps to reduce
blood pressure and treat headaches. However, the caffeine level in black tea is higher than that in green tea, so overconsumption does more
harm
than good.
It's safe LO say that drinking
tea can have both advantages and disadvantages. An important thing to remember is that tea,
lke any other
beverage, must be consumed in moderation.
