Tea is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that are beneficial for the body. Check out these six reasons on why tea is great for your body.
Improve Brain Function. Tea is rich with catechins, an antioxidant that is found to improve brain function and protect brain from neurodegenerative diseases. The catechins have protective effects on the neurons system which could potentially lowers the risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Alzheimer’s is the most common neurodegenerative disease which is the leading cause of dementia in old age; Parkinson’s disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease which affects body movements.
Burns Fats and Increases Physical Performance. Tea is one of the most common ingredients you can find in fat burning supplements. This is because it increases metabolic rate and makes you burn fats quickly. It signals the body to burn stored fats and convert it to energy which increases your physical performance.
Reduce Risk of Cancer. Cancer is caused by abnormal cells that grow their own blood vessels and invade healthy cells. The antioxidant in tea protects the healthy cells from getting damage and prevent the growth of new blood vessels in cells which could potentially develop into cancer.
Protects the Heart. Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in the world. The bioactive compounds in tea helps prevents atherosclerosis which is the mean cause of many heart diseases including coronary disease, ischemic heart disease, carotid heart disease, and stroke. Atherosclerosis is the narrowing of the arteries due to build up of plaques which is composed of fats, cholesterol, calcium, and many other elements.
Reduce Cholesterol Level. The antioxidant in tea helps lower cholesterol level by reducing the bad cholesterol or LDL (low-density lipoprotein) level and increasing the good cholesterol or HDL (high-density lipoprotein) level in the body. The bad cholesterol is responsible for the build-up of plaques in the arteries which leads to atherosclerosis mentioned above. The good cholesterol helps remove the bad cholesterol in the body by carrying them from other parts of the body to the liver. The liver then excretes the cholesterol from the body.
Good for the Skin. Tea makes your skin look young as it fights free radicals that can damage skin cells causing your skin to wrinkle and aged fast. Antioxidants in tea helps in treating skin damage by hydrating skin cells and stimulating blood flow to the skin which encourages growth of new cells and make your skin look young. In addition, it helps you to improve skin tone, prevent acne, and lighten scars.

We often make staying fit and active a notion that is hard to achieve and require a lot of work.

Being active is somehow a synonym to going to the gym or eating only vegetables. When you’re

busy slaying your day, health really takes a back burner and is ignored completely. Who would

want to work all day then head to the gym for a sweat sesh? Not me, for sure!

How about I told you that is a lot easier to be healthy? How about I told you that you only

would have to incorporate a few habits into your daily lifestyle in order to see a big difference?

Mind blown, yet?

Let me explain. A lot of times we don’t realize how even small lifestyle changes can make a

massive difference to our body. From getting good amount of sleep to increasing your water

intake, it’s all doable and extremely beneficial to us.

So, let’s take a look at the tips we can incorporate in our day to day lives to get healthier and

fitter.

1. Increase your water intake

If you are not a fan of water then we cannot be friends. Just kidding! But seriously,

increase the amount of water you drink daily and that will substantially help you get

healthier. Drinking water helps flush out toxins and aids digestion. This in turn can help

us in our weight loss journey, too. Drinking water also improves the health of your skin

giving you healthy and glowy skin.

If you are someone that just cannot remember to drink water then set a timer on your

phone to remind you periodically or buy a timer bottle that helps you track your water

intake. So, get going. Bottoms up!

2. Eat before you get hungry.

Now this does not mean you eat all the time even if you’re not hungry. Please don’t do

that. I have noticed that when I’m famished, I tend to make poor food choices. I grab

anything and everything I can without giving it much of a thought.

So instead I have timed my meals throughout the day. Breakfast, lunch, snacks and

dinner, it’s all timed. Before my meal time I have already planned what I’ll be eating and

that helps me avoid making reckless decisions regarding food. I’m still eating but doing it

mindfully.

3. Never skip breakfast.

This is an oldie but a goodie. How you start your day sets the tone for the rest of the

day. Make time to sit down for a good healthy meal before you get ready for the grind.

Also, it helps to plan your breakfast the night before. This way you don’t have to spend

energy deciding what to eat first thing in the morning.

4. Get good sleep

Last but not the least, get good sleep every night. It’s crucial to get at least 7-8 hours of

sleep every night. Lack of sleep can cause weight gain or impede your weight loss. Not

completing your sleep can also cause you to feel low in energy and grumpy. This, in my

opinion, is the easiest way to get healthier.

If you have trouble sleeping there are some cool guided meditations and music you can

find on the internet to help you slowly drift out to slumber.

These are the four easy health tips that you can follow for a healthy you! Like I said,

being healthy does not have to be hard work.
