by Daniel Wu Tea won’t turn a timeworn elder into a lively teen, but the dried-out leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant will definitely increase longevity through health benefits.
1. AntioxidantsTea is about 30 percent polyphenols which contain large amounts of catechin called EGCG which are natural antioxidants that help prevent cell damage. It basically works to prevent the body’s own version of rust thus protecting us from things like damage from pollution, and even cancer. 2. Reduced Heart Attack and Stroke RisksStudies have shown that those that drink one or more cups of tea a day have lower levels of LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, which is also known as “bad” cholesterol. Subjects show 20 percent reduction in the risk of heart attack and a 35 percent reduced risk of stroke. 3. Essential VitaminsYou can spell 15 percent of the alphabet with the vitamins in tea. Vitamins A, B, C and D help build proteins and cells, make collagen, (which knits together wounds, supports blood vessel walls, and forms a base for teeth and bones) and produce and release energy from food. 4. Beneficial MineralsManganese, Zinc, and Chromium help in the areas of balanced glucose metabolism, fat oxidation, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) synthesis (an end product of the processes of photophosphorylation which carries energy within cells), protein synthesis, and many more.
