There’s just something about tea that says “relaxation.” But the benefits go beyond a few minutes of me-time. Compounds in tea called flavonoids lower LDL, or “bad,” cholesterol, widen blood vessels, and prevent dangerous clots from forming. Some evidence even links tea to a lower risk for cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. So, beginning today, why not enjoy a daily cup of green or black tea—both have health benefits. But keep in mind that processed, sugar-sweetened tea beverages you buy at the store can contain lots of calories. Your best bet is to brew your own tea. It’s tasty, healthy, and economical.
