Antioxidant-Rich Tea

Excerted from The Lists, The High School Reunion Diet:

Tea. It’s a warm and cozy—or a cold and refreshing—sip of smart medicine. The medicinal qualities of various teas have been suspected for centuries, but lately, studies have proven a specific benefit for regular tea drinkers against cardiac illnesses and heart attack, against prostate and other cancers.  The key health ingredient in tea is the catechins in the leaves–a category of flavenoids.  Dermatologists love tea for the skin repair and protection potential, particularly when it’s flavored with lemon—a combo that’s been shown to protect against skin cancer.  Black, white and green teas are all good for anti-aging.  The only issue with tea seems to be that to get the benefits, you have to drink quite a lot of it.  Try it at least twice a day with a snack when on a mission to lose weight; it’s a treat with no carbs, no fat, no calories. (Unless of course, you imprudently put them in.)  It may be an acquired taste, but learn to drink tea straight, with lemon, and okay, maybe a little honey; over time, it could have untold health and beauty benefits.
