5 Health benefits of drinking tea
Every morning, you—and millions of people across India-- wake up and head groggily to the kitchen to
make tea. Whether you live with family, friends or roommates, the morning chai is the first and often
the most critical part of your daily routine. However, do you know that apart from bringing respite from
tiresome day or giving you adrenaline boost you needed much in the morning, your daily cuppa could
prove a potent brew of health benefits?
There are many researches that show that drinking tea can actually improve body’s health and overall
well-being.
Here are the 5 reasons you must not miss you daily cup of tea:
Beats fatigue: A hot cup of Chai is the best thing after a long hard day. The tannins present in
tea help calm the body and revitalize it. The combination of spices (that helps beat fatigue)
combined with a stimulant like caffeine acts as the best way to drive away fatigue.
Boost Immunity: Tea strengthens the immune system and keeps common infections at bay.
Ayurvedic ingredients like like Tulsi, Mulethi, Elaichi and clove makes you stronger. It creates a
line of defence that does not allow infections to pass through.
Weight Loss: Yes, you heard it right! Tea is made with milk, which is considered to be a good
source of protein. Intake of protein is recommended to be increased for those on weight loss
regime as it helps in reducing hunger and feeling full for longer.
Anti-inflammatory: All the spices used in the making of this beverage work together and have a
profound effect on the body. Masala tea has anti-inflammatory effects derived mostly from
ginger. Studies show that ginger has a positive impact on reducing inflammation in the body.
Clove is another ingredient that has similar effects.
Aids in Digestion: You might be surprised or even wondering how is that possible? The spices
used in masala tea, especially clove, elaichi, and tulsi aid in the digestion process. When ginger is
added to the mixture, its effects become more
medicinal. Digestion is greatly improved with the help of
elaichi that increases the saliva production.
Conclusion: A new study finds that tea boosts the body's
defenses against infection and contains a substance that might
be turned into a drug to protect against disease. So, as we move
into winters and the weather starts to chill, don’t miss your daily dose of health. At the very least, it’ll
taste good—and it may even make your gut happier.
