tea

It is the drink of choice for millions of people all over the United States. It can be found in 80 percent of homes where tea is served hot or cold. In 2015, Amercians consumed 80 billion servings of tea, the Tea Association reported. The most consumed was black tea, followed by green tea, Oolong tea, white tea and dark tea. A beverage that is enjoyed this much must be great for your health, right? Tea has antioxidant properties like flavonoids that have been found to help reduce the risks of chronic diseases like heart disease and Parkinson’s disease. Flavonoids are believed to aid the body and  help revitalize cells that are damaged by free-radicals.

Not bad for some leaves. Here are 5 reasons to join the tea revolution.
