Water is the
number one consumed fluid in the world. But you already knew that. What
do you think the second most popular drink in the world is? The answer
might surprise you. It's tea. One of the reasons so many people
drink tea may be due to the health benefits. Tea, in particular, green
tea, has many health advantages. Chemicals called the polyphenols found
in green tea are potent antioxidants. They're helpful in fighting heart
disease and inflammatory problems. Green tea has been touted as a cancer
fighter, but studies do not support this claim. Overall, green tea might
not be cure-all and it probably gets a great deal more press than it deserves as
a treatment for all sorts of problems, but it is a healthy choice when you're
thinking about a relaxing drink. Clearly, we know this much. Tea
does have a calming effect.
