Tea leaves
Tea leaves contain a rich array of antioxidants, including polyphenols and flavonoids, which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Free radical damage is associated with various chronic diseases, including cancer, heart disease, and neurodegenerative disorders.
Tea leaves may help promote heart health by reducing LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, increasing HDL (good) cholesterol, and lowering blood pressure. Additionally, they may help prevent blood clots and reduce inflammation.
Some studies suggest that tea leaves may aid in weight management by boosting metabolism and increasing fat burning. Additionally, they may help reduce appetite and promote satiety.
