Health Benefits of Daily Consumption:
Drinking Assam tea daily can offer several potential health benefits, primarily due to its rich content of antioxidants (polyphenols and flavonoids):
Boosts Mental Alertness: The combination of caffeine for energy and the amino acid L-Theanine promotes focus and sustained alertness without excessive jitteriness.
5 Supports Heart Health: Antioxidants may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases by improving blood vessel function, potentially lowering LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and maintaining healthy blood pressure.
6 Rich in Antioxidants: These compounds fight harmful free radicals, helping to reduce oxidative stress, which is linked to chronic diseases and aging.
7 Aids Digestion: Compounds like tannins in black tea are traditionally believed to help soothe the digestive tract and maintain healthy gut bacteria.
8 Strengthens Immunity: The antioxidants and other compounds in the tea can help support and strengthen the body's natural defense system.
