Tea is the most consumed beverage in the world. So why are Americans a coffee drinking society? Tea has health benefits that all coffee drinkers should know about.
July 15, 2005 (Press Release) --
Tea is the beverage of choice for most of the world, so why do Americans drink so much coffee? With Starbucks around every corner, it is obvious why Americans are coffee drinkers rather than tea drinkers. Only recently, the coffee giant Starbucks introduced their green tea “frappuccino”. Yet, compared to coffee, tea has real benefits which you will see.
Every day more than half of all American adults consume over 300 milligrams (mg) of caffeine, thereby making caffeine America's most consumed drug. Caffeine slips into our daily diet through the form of coffee, tea, chocolate and cola. What is caffeine? Caffeine is known in the medical world as trimethylxanthine and occurs naturally in coffee and cocoa beans and teas leaves. However, while the caffeine found in coffee and tea is the same molecule, it is proportionately more present in coffee than tea. A six ounce cup of coffee contains 100 mg of caffeine. Yet, a six ounce cup of tea contains just 70 mg and, unlike coffee, this stimulant to the nervous system is released slowly into the body. As a result, it allows the body to be alert, but not hyper like coffee.
Coffee drinkers often say they cannot function without their morning cup of coffee. Yet drinking tea can also give you a mild, more sustainable caffeine boost. And, if the taste of coffee is irresistible try replacing your coffee latte with a tea latte. Or, on a hot summer day, try making an ice lemongrass green tea. It is cool, refreshing and won’t make you nervous.
It is almost impossible to find the health benefits of coffee. However, the health benefits of tea are bountiful (http://www.camellialearf.com/health_benefits). For example, if you are concerned about cellulite, green tea is recommended as an anti-cellulite solution. Daily intake of green tea has also been shown to lower LDL c holesterol. Plus, green tea contains EGCG, a major ingredient of the well-known TrimSpa diet product. EGCG is a polyphenol that is responsible for increasing your metabolic rate and burning more calories, naturally. When shopping for teas, keep in mind that not all teas are created equal. Fresh teas are more potent and will likely be more beneficial.
