Most of us know that a health conscious adult has to ingest 6 to 8 glasses of water each day, in most cases water will be the recommended fluid. However, recent research has revealed additional information on this subject, and that we now understand that 2 or 3 mugs of unsweetened green tea, or black tea, can make up the total daily liquid consumption.
If you have tasted Lipton Ice Tea you already know about the delicious flavour, but just what are the benefits?
Antioxidant -
Advice from the general health industry suggests that we all have free-radicals manifesting in our bodies naturally, but unluckily - free is not such a good thing. Free radicals can, for a variety of reasons, cause damage to our cells. Our bodies have a defense mechanism in antioxidants which are present in a healthy, balanced diet. Recent research suggests that flavonoid antioxidants may provide the following benefits:
> anti-viral
> anti-allergic
> anti-inflammatory
> anti-tumour
These flavonoids are present in a range of fruit and vegetables, but are also present in significant quantities in tea, including Lipton Ice Tea Brisbane.
Hydration -
Most of us know that a healthy adult needs to drink 6-8 glasses of fluid a day, and usually water is the recommended fluid. However, recent studies have shed new light on this, and we now know that 2 or 3 cups of unsweetened tea, green or black, can make up your total daily fluid intake.
The human body needs plenty of water to remove harmful toxic elements but many individuals have a hard time drinking water in adequate amounts. Drinking unsweetened Lipton Ice Tea Qld introduces variety while still providing the purifying effect of the water.
It was thought that drinking tea or other drinks containing caffeine acted as a diuretic which would dehydrate the body, but current scientific thinking is that the small quantities of caffeine contained in 2 or 3 cups of tea daily would have no effect. It is quite reasonable to include Lipton Ice Tea Brisbane in the daily water intake.
The final word on the subject, however, needs to include the qualifier that the tea must be unsweetened, and without milk. Adding either, or worse still, both of these - significantly reduces the benefits.
