White tea is the new super health drink

By Jack Robbins

White tea derives its name from the silver fuzz that still covers the buds, which turns white when the tea is dried. Now modern science is discovering the full potential of the mysterious white tea. White tea is the least processed tea making it the most natural blend of tea. So let's get to the interesting part with the benefits of white tea:

White tea helps inhibit cancer cells by using a class of antioxidants that can detect and stop cancer cells as well as prevent new ones from forming. Whilst it is just an alternative medicine, it has been found to be helpful in preventing various forms of cancer.

It makes your bones stronger. Studies have shown that people who drink white tea have a higher bone density and strength then non-drinkers, thus helping to fight against and prevent from osteoporosis's and arthritis.

White tea aids blood pressure. It does this by thinning the blood thus reducing overall blood pressure. It also helps improve blood circulation which has been one of the things green tea can not do.

It creates a favorable environment for reducing cholesterol levels. This is done through a class of antioxidants called catechins which naturally reduce cholesterol levels. Cholesterol is something that is necessary for good health, however having it in large amounts can be a cause of diseases. White tea keep it in just the perfect amount.

It makes your heart healthier. By lowering blood pressure, and reducing cholesterol and thinning the blood white tea protects the heart from strokes and other heart related problems. Researchers have also discovered that people who drink 2 or more cups of white a day are almost 50% less likely to die after suffering a heart attack.

It makes your skin fresh and healthy. Being exposed to sunlight, a poor diet and high levels of stress can cause the skin to age faster and prematurely, thus making your skin wrinkled and makes you look older then you are. White tea protects the skin and helps to reverse some of the damage.

To conclude, White tea has many more benefits that would take more than a few hundred words to write. - 16004
