Just a little bit of news I searched out to find out what the latest was on the health benefits of tea. You know they are always researching to see what more this wonderful drink can provide us.

Reduce Ovarian Cancer with Tea

In a study by the Queensland Institute of Medical Research in Brisbane, Australia published in May 2010, the researchers came to the conclusion that a hypothesis that drinking tea every day reduces the risk of ovarian cancer is supported. According to the data they went through any tea drinking helps but drinking four cups or more is the best.

And it doesn’t matter what kind of tea you drink. However, the data presented, as compared to those who don’t drink tea, women who drank black tea had the best odds ratios followed by green tea and then herbal tea. Then again the study leader, Dr. Nagle, stated that the study “…suggests that drinking one or more cups green tea per day may reduce your risk of developing ovarian cancer by 40%.”.

Tea Has Anti Aging Effects

Everyone knows your mental abilities decline as you get older. Phooey! However, findings that were presented at the International Conference on Alzheimer’s Disease 2010 tell us that in people over 65, drinking tea has positive affects on your brain.

Those who drank tea regularly had a 17 – 37% less cognitive decline when compared to people who don’t drink it. WooHoo! I drink it every day so sounds good to me. If I’m reading this article http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/new-data-suggest-regular-tea-drinking-may-protect-against-cognitive-decline-98227754.html correctly, the ones who got the 37% were actually the ones who drank it one to four times a week and not those who drank it more than 5 times a week. Oh, well. It has other great health benefits too.
