STAY HEALTHY

TEA AND APPEARANCE

Tea, when drunk on its own, without milk or sugar, not only tastes great but contains virtually no calories. This means that tea is an excellent accompaniment to a healthy balanced diet and lifestyle, or to weight maintenance programmes. Which is great news. But the benefits of the leaf don t stop there.

What if you could take a 5-minute beauty break that would help with your weight-maintenance programme, while improving oral health. Well, you can. Tea can do that.  

Tea and Body fat

Regular tea contains caffeine, which has been shown to increase energy expenditure. Tea, given its extremely low calorie content, is an ideal choice for a weight control plan that is part of a healthy lifestyle, especially when substituted for other sugar sweetened beverages.

Tea and Tooth Protection

Tea is a good source of fluoride, a mineral that helps protect teeth by strengthening tooth enamel and combating cavities. Research conducted in test tubes also indicates that tea flavonoids may inhibit the plaque-forming ability of oral bacteria. Tea does this through an anti-bacterial effect  preventing the bacteria’s adherence to teeth, and by limiting the synthesis of sticky glucan, which in animal studies has been shown to help prevent cavities.In this way, tea can contribute to better oral health. That’s something to smile about.
