Sometimes there's nothing more gratifying to the soul than a nice warm cup of tea. What's even more satisfying is noting all the health benefits tea has to offer. I used to drink three to four cups of coffee a day until I realized how detrimental such consumption was to my body. Now I drink six to seven cups of tea a day and have never felt better. Maybe the mad hatter wasn't so mad after all? Here's 10 reasons a minor lifestyle change might be just the cup of tea you were looking for:
1. Antioxidants
Tea is packed with antioxidants, which helps maintain healthy cells and tissues
2. Less caffeine than coffee
3. Reduce risk of heart attack and stroke
4. Increases metabolism, which can promote weight loss
Just ask Kendall Jenner how she gets ready for fashion week
5. Promotes bone strength
Tea has proven to improve bone mineral density and strength
6. Whiter teeth
Tea protects tooth enamel
7. Boosts immune system
Tea tunes up immune cells so they reach their targets quicker
8. Helps battle cancer
Some studies have suggested that both black and green tea may help prevent or delay the formation of tumors
