General Health Tips

Although I don’t live in England and have never been there, a tea drinking tradition is very close to me. At home, I have teas of different kinds and every day spend for about an hour, from 5p.m. till 6 p.m. drinking tea, just like in England
 
It was a real shock for me when I heard about tea health risks. I hit upon an article on the Web about tea health risks that I actually did not believe at first. But when I investigated this topic a bit deeper, I realized that it made sense. Besides, I watched myself for a while and some of the tea health risks proved to be true.
 
For instance, some time ago I noticed a kind of sleep disorder, but definitely could not think of any tea health risks. I sleep well but it might take several hours to fall asleep. I heard that teas contain some amounts of caffeine but could not think it can be some sort of tea health risk. Actually, it is, although not very serious. Some scholars say that tea contains even more caffeine than coffee. By the way, if you drink decaf teas, there are also some tea health risks that you might face. At least, I know for sure that the decaf process removes some beneficial substances like antioxidants from tea.
 
Fortunately, I didn’t face any other tea health risks but I have found a lot of other info about them. For instance, did you know that drinking very hot tea, above 158 F may cause esophageal cancer? So, to reduce this tea health risk, better drink your tea when it is something like 140 F.
 
Places where tea was grown also affect further tea health risks. A lot of teas grow in China and India – countries that have some really polluted areas. Therefore, it’s better to carry out a kind of investigation and find out which province your tea was grown in. Needless to say, tea health risks are higher if teas come from polluted provinces.
