Be healthy to a "tea"

If you enjoy a hot cup of tea from time to time, you'll be delighted to know that you're doing something healthy for yourself too. Inside that comforting cup are powerful disease-fighting antioxidants and catechins, compounds that prevent cell-damage.


Tea's amazing health benefits are largely due to it high content of flavonoids. These plant-based compounds are disease-fighting antioxidants that can help fight hypertension, lipid disorders and heart disease.


Green tea is the best source of catechins, which are more powerful than vitamins C and E in stopping cell damage, according to the Harvard Women's Health Watch.


Studies are crediting tea for reducing the risk of certain cancers, and heart disease by increasing HDL-the good cholesterol, and for lowering blood pressure.


Get the most out of your tea cup


  • Drink tea a few times a day to absorb antioxidants and other healthful plant compounds. Green tea drinkers normally have three cups a day.
  • Allow tea to steep for three to five minutes to bring out its catechins. Drink freshly brewed tea. Decaffeinated tea, bottled ready-to-drink tea and instant teas have less healthy compounds.
  • Tea can slow down the absorption of iron from fruits and vegetables. Adding lemon or milk to your tea, or drinking it between meals will help to counteract this.

Women's World: Best stuff is on the bottom

Researchers at Creighton University's Osteoporosis Research Center really shook things up when they tested popular calcium-fortified beverages such as soy and rice drinks and orange juice. The calcium drifting to the bottom was a particular problem with the soy beverages tested such as Soy Dream and Silk.

Because when the manufacturers of calcium-fortified drinks say "shake well" on the label, they really mean it. You'd have to shake so hard in fact, to disperse the added calcium that has settled to the bottom of the container, you'd need the type of shaker used to mix paint in hardware stores.


Fortified means the calcium in the product does not occur naturally, as it does in fat-free cow milk, but is added.


Only 2 of 10 orange juice brands tested, both made by Tropicana, were nearly the same as milk for calcium suspension. Yet hand shaking alone was still not enough to evenly disperse the added calcium.


Simply adding calcium does not make a beverage a nutritional substitute for milk, says the National Dairy Council. The research study, published in Nutrition Today (February 2005), concluded that milk remains the most reliable calcium source.


If you take one of these popular medications to treat and prevent Osteoporosis, you save when you purchase at DoctorSolve.
