( The most widely consumed beverage in th...)Want a Healthy brew? Have some Tea!,Health

The most widely consumed beverage in the world next to water is Tea. Whether you like it strong or light, with or without milk, sugared or bland, with herbs or with masala it is undoubtedly the most favorite amongst all beverages. Even coffee lovers and health freaks who live on fruit and vegetables grudgingly accept tea as a wholesome energy boost. But the international scientific community is now crediting tea with medicinal properties, which may actually make tea a magic potion in more ways than one.

It might not be as magical as the magic potion that Obelix fell into or the potion that Guals use to ward off their enemies with effortless ease. But Dr. John Weisburger, Ph.D., who sips a dozen odd cups of tea every day is, more than convinced of the drinks healthy attributes. As evidence he points out to studies, which suggest that tea helps prevent cancer and heart disease. Also researchers have found that tea helps women in the menopausal age group by strengthening their bones by increasing their bone density. They say the anti-oxidants found in tea are 100 times more powerful than vitamin C and 25 times stronger than vitamin E.

All this might tempt even the staunch tea haters to join the tea club. And with the mushrooming tea cafes and coffee pubs a lot of interest is now shifting to non-alcoholic beverages and suddenly people are more health conscious than ever before. But unless and until it is proved to be really magical the scientific community at least will continue to prefer fruit, vegetables and a diet low on fats and rich in anti oxidants to stay fit. But if Dr.Weisburger and his tribe are correct it is advisable to add a cuppa tea to your diet every day.
