Probably, the world's most popular energy drink, tea is not merely rich in taste and flavour, but it is also a rich source of the health essentials. Tea is a very healthy drink, which offers a multitude of health benefits from anti-aging benefits to helping prevent several types of cancers. In general, teas undergoing the least amount of processing like white teas contain more antioxidants and less caffeine than other teas.

Although, the processing time increases from the making of white to green tea, from green to oolong tea, and finally from oolong to black teas, nevertheless, all teas maintain a basic and significant level of health benefits. 

Tea is free of calories, if taken without milk or sugar and can play a major role in maintaining bodily fluid balance. Tea also has many other health benefits including: 

  • Tea contains fluoride,  thus strengthening tooth enamel and can help reduce the formation of plaque.  It promotes the health of your teeth.
  • Antioxidants in varying degrees are very much present in tea (primarily in white and green tea, but also black tea in smaller quantities), which may help to reduce the risk of cancer (specifically, lung, skin and colon cancers).
  • Polyphenols are also present in tea, the substance which are thought to help inhibit the absorption of cholesterol into the blood stream and help prevent the formation of blood clots.
  • Caffeine, present as a mild stimulant in tea increases the activity of the digestive juices. Caffeine helps stimulate the heart and circulatory system, which further aids in keeping the walls of blood vessels soft, thus reducing the likelihood of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).

Because of the highest level of antioxidants than any other tea, white tea is great for health.  Antioxidant aids in detoxifying the body. Antioxidants are famous for helping fight cancer and increasing metabolism. As an added health benefit, white tea is also good for the skin and helps improve the complexion.

Green tea has multiple health benefits. Green tea has the most of the EGCG complex, which is good for metabolism. Polyphenols are also present in green tea, which the body needs for cancer prevention  and has been known to protect against or decrease the spread of bladder cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer and stomach cancer, among others. Antioxidant in green tea boosts up the immune system, and helps regulate blood sugar.

Oolong Tea is mainly responsible to burn superfluous body fat. Drinking oolong tea during or after a high-cholesterol meal has been shown to lower the intake of fat content in the blood. Oolong Tea also contains the most tannic acid, which is good for lowering cholesterol. This tea is great  for losing weight, since it burns fat built up in the body.

It has been suggested by medical research that, black tea helps to regulate blood sugar, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and keep the blood vessels soft because of the caffeine present in black tea. Other than this, black tea also has other health benefits like promoting healthy teeth, skin and bones.
