Why You Should Drink Tea

There are many health benefits to drinking tea. Tea contains a number of antioxidants substances called polyphenols, (flavonoids) which assist in preventing all kinds of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Drinking tea has also been proven to reduce stress, lower the risk of stroke and LDL Cholesterol levels, increase HDL levels, strengthen the immune system, promote digestion, inhibit growth of bacteria in the mouth and reduce blood pressure.

Not only is tea good for you, it tastes great too! I drink iced tea every day and absolutely love tropical flavored iced tea. My favorites include, mango, passion fruit and green tea. To add more tropic flavor to your tea, cut up some orange slices and add them to your tea. If you like tropical flavors, try Celestial Seasonings Tropical Fruit Cool Brew Iced Herbal Tea. This cool brew tea is great because you don't have to boil water first, just add water, ice, relax and enjoy!
