I don’t usually drink tea that much but on occasions I might take a sip or two. But if you are a tea fanatic maybe you can use this list to impress your uncles and aunts in the next time they visit you peeps.

1. Antioxidants
Antioxidants in the tea protect our body from the effects of pollution and minor ravage of aging

2. Caffeine is lot less than coffee
There is two to three times more caffein in coffee than tea. If you can’t handle coffee than go for tea, which contains 30 to 40 mg caffeine per cup rather than 135 mg – oops almost wrote MB for megabytes lol

3. Prevents heart attack / stroke
Tea can help keep your arteries smooth and clog-free. A study showed 70% lower risk of heart attack in people who had 2 to 3 cups of tea (black) compared to those that don’t drink.

4. Protects your bones
It’s said that people who drink tea often had stronger bones despite their age, body weight and excercise routines.

5. Yummy smile
Tea actually contains flouride and tannins that keep plaque at bay. So if you are not into the sugary tea then use unsweetened version.

6. Immune defense gets stronger
Research shows that those who had tea compared to coffee had a higher immune activity…

7. Fights cancer..what??
The stuff called polyphenols. The antioxidant which is found in tea is known for cancer-fighting effects. But obviously it’s just an antioxidant, so can’t protect you completely..

8. It will keep you hydrated
Obviously water for me is best in this case, but it’s sad that tea or other caffeinated drinks do contribute to our fluid needs

9. Lose weight..woohooo
There are no calories in tea, unless you add sweetner or milk.. But then again I am not saying have 5 snicker bars a day and one cup of tea.. no no

10. Increases your metabolism
It’s said that green tea increases our metabolic rate so we can additionally burn 70 to 80 calories by drinking upto 5 cups a day. But once again, do walk as a well to burn calories.

But the reason I usually have tea is whenever I am not well or just want to feel relaxed as I never got used to coffee unless it’s as sweet as tea itself ..

What about you? Do you have any reasons why one SHOULD have tea or shouldn’t..
