Have a tea today! It may save your life




Recent research also showed that drinking 3 cups of tea a day can protect against heart attacks and strokes. In fact, drinking tea regularly could reduce your risk of heart problems by as much as 11 per cent.

The wonder cup just got even more wonderful. Green tea, rich in antioxidant treasures that protect against heart disease and cancer, now shows promise as an allergy fighter. In laboratory tests, Japanese researchers have found that the antioxidants in green tea, block the biochemical process involved in producing an allergic response. Green tea may be useful against a wide range of sneeze-starting allergens, including pollen, pet dander, and dust.

Tea is one of the single best cancer fighters you can put in your body," according to Mitchell Gaynor, MD, director of medical oncology at the world-renowned Strong Cancer Prevention Center in New York City and co-author of Dr. Gaynor's Cancer Prevention Program. 

The latest tea discovery? Strong evidence that both green and black tea can fight cancer-at least in the test tube-though green tea holds a slight edge. In a new study, both teas kept healthy cells from turning malignant after exposure to cancer-causing compounds

Drinking black tea may lower the risk of heart disease because it prevents blood from clumping and forming clots. In a recent study, researchers found that while drinking black tea, the participants had lower levels of the blood protein associated with coagulation. 

Dr. Kenneth Mukamal of Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center reported that out of 1,900 heart-attack patients, those who drank two or more cups a day reduced their risks of dying over the next 3.8 years by 44 percent.

Research shows green tea is able to increase your energy expenditure, so the amount of calories you burn, and also to increase the amount of fat you are burning.

Personally, I drink about 64 oz of tea a day and the energy boost and healthy benefits I receive are amazing to say the least. Thank you Red Diamond tea your are the best! 

“Better to be deprived of food for three days than tea for one”,  says a Chinese proverb.
