Celebrities Who Love Tea + The Best Gifts for Tea Lovers

Celebrities Who Love Tea + The Best Gifts for Tea Lovers

In this day and age when fast food and bottled soda and juices are highly accessible, we often have to think twice about what we’re putting into our bodies. Sugary drinks often line the grocery stalls and convenience stores. But the regular consumption of such sugary drinks may lead to the development of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Because of the alarming links of the consumption of sugary drinks such as soda and juices, more and more people are turning to healthier options, such as tea. Tea has become a great alternative not only to sugary drinks but also to coffee and other caffeinated products such as energy drinks, which are often also loaded with sugar. (Further down in this story, we tackle celebrities who love tea and list down the best gifts for tea lovers.)

 

The Health Benefits of Green Tea

Tea has a number of proven health benefits and while there are several types of tea, green tea seems to be the  most popular, with a number of health benefits linked to it. According to Healthline, these are just some of the health benefits of tea.

  • Green tea helps improve brain function. Green tea contains some amount of caffeine, but not as much as coffee, which is why others opt for green tea as a healthier alternative. Caffeine in green tea has been linked to improved brain function, better moods, increased vigilance, quicker reaction time, and sharpened memory.
  • Green tea boosts metabolism to help improve fat burn. Green tea has long been believed to aid in weight loss and the reason for that is its ability to boost one’s metabolic rate. The caffeine in green tea helps mobilize fatty acids from the fat tissues for them to be used as energy.
  • Green tea can help lower the risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Today’s markets are bombarded with sugary products, which consumption leads to a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Green tea is seen as a healthier alternative because it can help reduce blood sugar levels and lower the rate for developing type 2 diabetes.
  • Green tea’s antioxidants help lower the risk of developing certain cancers. Green tea is packed with antioxidants that fight free radicals. Such cancers that green tea has been linked to lower the risk of are breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colorectal cancer.

Green tea and different types of tea have varied health benefits, but did you know that even celebrities totally love tea? (Further down in this story: Celebrities Who Love Tea and a list of The Best Gifts for Tea Lovers)
