Do you like to start your day with a warm beverage, preferably one with some caffeine? You certainly aren’t alone. Are you a coffee drinker, a tea connoisseur or perhaps prefer to get your boost from a cold carbonated beverage?
While people’s preferences around the world vary, tea is universal. Tea originated in China some four or five thousand years ago. One legend says the ancient Emperor Shen Nung had ordered that drinking water had to be boiled, so following his orders, his servants were boiling the emperor’s water when leaves fell into it. The emperor tried the resulting brown water and liked it. Tea was born.
Whether or not this particular story about its origins is true, the fact that tea has been consumed for centuries is indisputable. What accounts for its long popularity? Most probably its health benefits are responsible. Even if you prefer coffee or even soda, here are some reasons to add tea to your daily regimen.
- Tea can help keep your heart healthy.
