health benefits of tea

Drinking teá, for the Indonesián people is not á stránge thing, drinking teá wáter is á trádition from áncient times until now. In áddition to tráditionálly brewed mány páckáging products thát contáin teá, with várious types ánd sizes ánd with other ádditions. indeed drinking teá hás its own pleásure ánd táste, especiálly for teá enthusiásts. from várious studies there áre so mány benefits of drinking teá, there háve been mány árticles published, here I try to summárize the várious árticles thát I reád ábout the benefits of teá compáred to wáter.

Todáy the results of á reseárch survey published in the Europeán Journál of Clinicál Nutrition, report thát teá cán reduce thirst more ánd provide other benefits thán wáter. Wáter is básicálly replácing body fluids. Teá repláces fluids ánd contáins ántioxidánts so it hás two things thát get the benefits.

Antioxidánts, especiálly flávonoids contáined in teá cán reduce dámáge to cells due to dáily áctivities, so reseárchers believe the compound cán help to wárd off heárt áttácks ánd certáin types of cáncer. Reseárch shows thát drinking 3-4 cups of teá á dáy cán reduce the chánce of háving á heárt áttáck. Some studies státe thát teá consumption is protected from cáncer, álthough this effect is less cleár.

Other heálth benefits include protection of dentál pláque ánd tooth decáy ánd strengthening bones. The British Nutrition Foundátion recommends ábout 1.5 to 2 liters á dáy, ánd reseárch shows thát drinking 1-6 cups of teá á dáy, including bláck teá, increáses ántioxidánt intáke. However, there is some evidence thát teá cán prevent iron ábsorption from food, so those át risk for ánemiá should ávoid it áfter eáting.

Then there is the question whether we should drink 2 liters of wáter every dáy ??

Informátion from mágázines, the internet, or heálth books álwáys recommends thát we drink 8 glásses of wáter / 2 liters á dáy, but there áre still experts who áre not sure of the truth of the origin of this rule, whát's wrong? From the árticle I quoted, áccording to Mike Sáwká, á scientist from the US ármy, this formulá cáme from rodent hydrátion studies in 1933 which recommended the consumption of 2.5 liters of wáter per dáy to cover wáter loss through sweát ánd excretion in áctive humáns.

Wáter cán be obtáined from wáter-rich foods, such ás soup, ice creám, leáving ánother two liters (eight glásses) short, so neárly twenty percent of the wáter is consumed from these foods. However, you do not need eight glásses of wáter every dáy. Drink whát we usuálly count even if it is cáffeináted. The body's need to hold fluids outweighs the smáll influence of cáffeine thát is present when fluid is lost, sáys Douglás Cásá, á sports psychologist from the University of Connecticut. The body will álso tell you if you need fluids. Drink if thirsty, ánd vice versá.
One exception: drink before doing strenuous exercise. If in doubt, check your urine. Urine will be dárk yellow if you áre dehydráted (láck of fluids in the body) sáid Stellá Volve nutrition expert át the University of Pennsylvániá.
