The Benefits of Drinking Bamboo Tea

The benefits of drinking tea are becoming more widely known with the rest of the world learning what Asian countries have known for years. While ancient Chinese doctors prescribed tea as a cure for headaches and even an elixir for immortality, modern science today tells us more about the benefits of tea drinking:

• Tea contains numerous antioxidants. These help slow down the aging process and can help cells regenerate and repair themselves.
• Tea helps keep our mouths healthy. Compounds found in tea can fight cavities and help reduce plaque by killing or suppressing growth and acid production of cavity causing bacteria in our mouths.
• Tea keeps you hydrated. Every cup of tea you drink (especially those lower in caffeine) counts as a cup of water towards your daily intake.
• Tea may reduce the risk of stroke or heart attack by preventing the formation of dangerous blood clots in the arteries.
• Tea can lower blood pressure. Studies have shown that drinking green tea daily can reduce your risk of hypertension by up to 50%.
• Tea aids your digestive system. Used for thousands of years as an after-meal digestive aid, tea can also help relieve stomach cramps.
• Tea may help prevent diabetes. There is some evidence to suggest that green tea might help lower the risk of getting Type 2 diabetes.
• Tea boosts your immune system. A study comparing the immune activity levels of coffee drinkers vs. tea drinkers found that the tea drinkers have levels of up to five times higher.
