Break those myths related to Tea

A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.

The sooner you get out of a myth the better it is. Surely there were many myths doing rounds related to tea or chai as they call it. Be it in any form masala chai, vanilla chai, ginger tea, green tea, or black tea etc there is a myth available for all.

Some of the most common myths doing rounds are

1.    Adding milk to tea reduces its quality and health quotient: - This is not true as shared in several researches, and it would be wrong to say that if nothing is added to tea, it will be the healthiest of all.

However researchers have found that adding milk or honey to your tea makes you more efficient at work.

2.    Drinking Green Tea will make you Skinny: - No, drinking green tea although has its own benefits over drinking milked tea, but it won’t make you skinny unless you are only on green tea diet.

3.    Herbal Tea is the real tea:- No, although tea comes in different aromas and flavours but that is more to do about the process involved after plucking the tea leaves. The tea plant remains the same which is Camellia Sinensis, and the change in flavour etc depends on how it is processes and under what climatic conditions it’s grown. Herbal tea on the other hand is being made from flower, leave and other variations as well.

4.    Tea doesn’t have an expiry date: - It’s not true, tea start losing its antioxidants after 5 to 6 months and that’s its shelf life.

5.    Caffeine is more in Black Tea as compared to Green Tea: - IT’S WRONG. Again the theory remains the same, tea come in from the same leaves, and it’s only the processing which differs and which decides whether it’s going to be Black Tea or Green Tea.

6.    Tea Causes Stroke: - Absolutely wrong, in fact tea helps you reduce chances of heart stroke and its antioxidant agent helps you fight Heart diseases. But it only helps and doesn’t guarantees, so keep a check on your heart.

Apart from these myths which must be cleared by now, Tea has many benefits which are helpful to us. Some of those are:-

1.    Tea helps reduce the risk of dementia: - Drinking tea helps you fight dementia, and allows you to stay sharp, focused, enhances memory and attention span.

2.    Tea acts as a medicine: - Especially in rainy and winters season, Tea helps as an anti allergic and helps prevent cough, cold and sour throat. Apart from this Tea also helps building your immune system.

3.    Tea helps in lowering Cholesterol levels: - Tea also helps you reduce your cholesterol levels, although Green Tea is a winner among other variants here.

4.    Despite Caffeine it hydrates your body

5.    It gives you less caffeine over coffee

I am sure after reading these points you can clear the air about your myths related to tea.
