According to The Times, British scientists have stated that drinking four cups of tea daily is more beneficial to health than drinking eight glasses of plain water. Tea not only replenishes fluids but can also prevent heart disease and cancer.
The research indicates that tea can replenish the body's hydration, and drinking tea daily can reduce the risk of heart disease by 11%. The caffeine in tea can also help improve concentration. The researchers pointed out that the key lies in the high levels of antioxidants called "flavonoids" in tea, which can prevent cell damage. [美食中国]
Tea is a natural source of flavonoids, with the amount found in just three cups of tea being eight times that of an apple.
Scientists say that drinking tea has many health benefits, with four cups a day being the most effective, but excessive consumption should be avoided.
