This link has arisen from the basis that tea is thought to have a metabolizing effect upon body fats and therefore prove beneficial to weight loss as part of a weight loss program.There is also a suggestion that green tea consumption can increase endurance in exercise by improving fat metabolism.Great Nutritional Value'There doesn’t seem to be a downside to tea,' says American Dietetic Association spokeswoman Katherine Tallmadge, MA, RD, LD. Taken without milk or sugar, tea contains no calories and the addition of semi- skimmed milk adds approximately 13 calories to a cup, making tea a healthy alternative to most soft drinks and beverages. Tea is known to be a natural source of fluoride, potassium, manganese and vitamin B2.Contains Anti-OxidantsTea is known to be a valuable source of anti-oxidants, which assist in fighting free radicals within the body. The major group of antioxidants in tea are flavonoids that appear to be digested, absorbed and metabolized by the body. Green teas contain more of the simple flavonoids called catechins, whilst the oxidization that the leaves undergo to make black tea converts these simple flavonoids to the more complex varieties called theaflavins and thearubigins.Decreases Cognitive ImpairmentIn 2010 researchers studying dementia, cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease found that people who consumed tea had significantly less cognitive decline than non-tea drinkers. The study used data on more than 4,800 men and women aged 65 and older from the Cardiovascular Health Study to examine change in cognitive function over time. Study participants were followed for up to 14 years for naturally-occurring cognitive decline.
