Q. Is it true that tea is really good for you? I see spas that serve it as healing drink.

A. Tea is actually considered one of the “Super Foods”. It has many healthful properties. It can detoxify the body. It is also a great anti-oxidant so it can work to boost immune systems. Tea has been shown to help with weight loss and has anti-inflammatory properties. Herbal varieties of tea are not the same. Herbals are made from a variety of different plants. Tea other than herbal types comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. This plant is full of polyphenol antioxidants. According to DaySpa magazine tests have shown this plant to be better at ridding the body of damaging free radicals than red wine, vitamins C or E. DaySpa magazine further notes that regular tea consumption can help fight diseases ranging from diabetes to osteoporosis. As an esthetician I also use tea topically to help fight sun damage and to reduce dark puffy eyes. If you like tea, you are in luck because the quick answer to question. Is tea really good for you?” is YES. Drink up, warm or on ice.
