Black Tea

Black tea leaves come from the Camellia sinensis tea plant, which contains polyphenols. These compounds are powerful antioxidants that are believed to repair cells, prevent cell damage, and neutralize the free radicals that may contribute to serious medical problems. As cell protectors, the antioxidants present in black tea may even reduce the incidence of a number of health conditions, including:

• Cancer
• Alzheimer's disease
• Neurodegenerative diseases
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Premature aging
• Atherosclerosis

In addition to the antioxidant benefit of black tea, scientists also believe that black tea may reduce tissue inflammation, deactivate viruses, minimize artery clogging, and lower the risk of stroke and heart attack. Tea is also thought to have a calming effect on the body, which is likely the reason that many people make it a relaxing, daily ritual.
