You’ve been reading about it here for a while now, but finally some major publications are beginning to recognize the health benefits of tea! Take Prevention magazine, for example: this month they featured an article entitled “14 Surprising Signs You’ll Live Longer Than You Think.” Some of the astonishing indicators include: folks whose mother had them before 25 years old are twice as likely to live to 100, and people who are optimistic and family-oriented tend to live longer lives. However, one of the most significant signs that you’ll live a longer life is if you’re a tea drinker (in fact, this was #2 on the list!).

This is due to the fact that drinking at least 1-2 cups of tea a day will give your body a significant amount of catechins, substances that help your blood vessels relax and therefore protect your heart. Not to mention the high levels of antioxidants that tea provides, helping to prevent cancer and other serious health problems. Not to mention……well, you get the idea. Live long, drink tea!
