The wonders of black tea (not chai latte)


Tea is the most consumed beverage after water. Black tea (89% of people) is specifically popular in the US & UK, while the other parts of the world are fascinated by other types of teas. All the tea connoisseurs will surely agree with us on that.

 

A recent study has discovered that longevity can be enhanced by 12% by just drinking two or more cups of black tea every day, so tea not only tastes good but it'll also help you to live longer.

  • British way of drinking black tea: With little milk, 2 sugar and a biscuit (not a cookie).
  • South Asian way of drinking black tea: Lots of milk and a lot of sugar. Cook tea, milk, and sugar until they are one body and soul and then enjoy with something salty.
  • American way of drinking black tea: There are 2 ways:
    • Sad: A tea bag and hot water with monk sugar.
    • Very Sad: Chai Latte (yuk).


What are the benefits?

A bioactive compound known as polyphenol (theaflavins & theaburgins) along with a ton of antioxidants is present in black tea. This is known to protect against several health conditions like

  • High blood pressure
  • Some cancers
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Type 2 diabetes

 

How does it affect you?

Although, black tea helps you live longer (an happier in non-Americas), it has some side effects (if consumed in high quantities) associated with it, here are a few of them:

●  high polyphenol ingestion can be dangerous to health, so watch out on how many cups you're drinking a day.

●  Tea also contains caffeine! Therefore, for all the caffeine-sensitive people out there, drinking more than three cups of tea (180mg of caffeine) can cause problems.

  • COVID-19 update: New and updated COVID-19 boosters are on the way and are being supplied by Pfizer-BioNTech & Moderna targeting the BA.4 and BA.5 omicron subvariants.
  • Inflation massacre: For employers, the health care costs are most likely to increase due to the high records of inflation in the US, to nearly $14K per employee by 2023.
  • Cleveland Clinic: A massive loss of nearly $1B was reported by Cleveland Clinic after having their revenues down for several years before pandemic.
