Time For Tea

Take time for tea. There is nothing like a cup of hot tea to warm and comfort. It has many medicinal uses as well.

Green and black tea are the most useful. Both are known to  prevent the coagulation of the arteries, thus preventing heart attacks.

The Japanese and Indians first discovered the anti-inflammatory properties of green tea many centuries ago. Green tea aids in the improvement of the functioning of the brain. It has been shown that brain activity in older people is equal to younger persons when tea is regularly drunk over a period of time.

In addition green tea contains fluoride which strengthens teeth and enamel.  At the same time it fortifies bones, which can offset osteoporosis. Older people must be especially careful as bones become more fragile, thus causing them to break should they fall.

There are beauty benefits in tea as well. Studies show that it fights premature aging and sharpens concentration. Nowadays we often see cosmetics, perfume and other beauty products proclaiming tea as an important and efficient ingredient in stopping the aging process from within and without.
