A toast to tea: it's time to wake up and smell the tea. This ancient elixir helps prevent a host of conditions, from cavities to cancer. We'll drink to that!(10 WAYS: SUPPLEMENTS & FOOD)
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
We often envision therapeutic teas being brewed from herbs known for their healing qualities. But real tea, be it black, green, white, or somewhere in between (known as oolong), offers its own health perks. Here are 10 ways to benefit from this age-old beverage.
1. Drink Up
Experts from leading American universities, including Harvard and Johns Hopkins, ranked tea second only to water as a healthful drink. The group's recommendations, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, included drinking up to 40 ounces of tea daily, avoiding extra calories from sweeteners and creamers, and limiting daily caffeine intake to 400 mg (five to nine cups of black tea), 300 mg for pregnant women.
2. Choose More or Less Caffeine
Although many decaffeinated versions are available, caffeine content varies naturally among different types of teas. Black tea contains 40-70 mg of caffeine per 8-ounce cup, about half that of coffee; green tea contains 9-50 mg of caffeine per cup; white and oolong teas range somewhere in between the two.
