A recent study published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology found yet another health benefit of hot tea: Subjects that consumed at least daily hot tea drink had a 74% decreased chance of developing glaucoma.
Tea has also been shown to have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and is a great healthy alternative to caffeinated soft drinks. Flavanoids found in tea are beneficial in reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke and high cholesterol.
So next time you’re thinking about reaching for a soda – think about heating up a glass of tea instead!
