Does it fit to a tea?

I have mentioned a lot of times in my previous posts about the health benefits of tea. I am so sure you know by now that it lowers the risks of possible certain cancers, stroke and heart disease. But the big question is, does it deliver its most sought after benefit, to soothe and calm? Well, that's what they claim on their labels, right? The answer is YES and it has been proven by British researchers.

They divided 75 tea drinkers into two groups, one drank 4 cups of black tea a day, while the other group drank placebo tea. The latter is identical in taste, smell, and caffeine content, but lacking active tea ingredients. After six weeks, both groups underwent a stressful challenge. The result: Black tea drinkers had lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol than those who drank placebo tea. Cortisol is being linked to cravings for high fat and high sugar foods and can weaken the immune system. Try sipping a cp of tea when you area having a bad or stressful day, it does soothe and calm.
