Tea Benefits:
Unsweetened, pure tea is almost free of calories and is therefore desirable for weight management.
Tea is beneficial for adults and children as a low-calorie source of hydration.
Tea can be beneficial at enhancing attentiveness, cognition and is desirable for those at risk of stroke and people with compromised endothelial (healthy blood vessels) function.
Reduces Risk of Stroke: Black tea is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke (around 11% - 23%).
Tea Improves Endothelial Function (healthy blood vessels): 2-3 cups of either black or green tea providing 250- 500 mg tea flavonoids improve both acute and chronic endothelial function (effects starting at approximately 1/2 cup tea).
Tea Lowers Blood Pressure: Consumption of black tea can lower the rate of systolic (2%) and diastolic (1.5%) blood pressure in individuals with normal to high range blood pressure.
Tea components (theanine & caffeine) enhance cognitive performance.
Tea affects brain Alpha Waves (can help with feeling calm, relaxed).
Analyses suggests tea drinking is associated with less cognitive decline in aging.
Benefits of tea for reducing the risk of heart disease may improve brain health too.
Theanine is an amino acid found mostly in plant and fungal species and is substantially present in tea leaves. Intentionally shading tea plants from direct sunlight (like in the production of matcha green tea) increases theanine content. Theanine is responsible for the unique savory (umami) flavor found in green tea. Paired with caffeine, theanine may help increase focus and attention, too.
