PLEASE SHARE THIS ARTICLE

So, are you curious about what crap I'm talkin' about? I bet you are!!! Let's start!

1. Tea loses its properties if mixed with milk

A true nonsense... because recent scientific evidence shows that after mixing with milk, tea does not change the amount of catechins assimilated by the body.

Catechins are antioxidants that are designed to prevent certain cancers.

2. Any stomach problems can be cured with mint tea

The truth is that this tasty drink is not always recommended, gastric acid is just one of the diseases that may worsen if mint tea consumption. When you have stomach problems, according to experts, appeal to ginger tea.

3. Tea is more beneficial if it is not mixed with anything

I think you agree when I say that sounds downright ridiculous! The truth is that if you add lemon juice, citric acid in its composition contributes to its flavonoids preservation.

Flavonoids are compounds that turn teas into real medicines!

Want to have better concentration power? Add a little honey in each cup of tea you drink!

4. Tea has no term of validity

Unfortunately, IT DOES! About after six months almost any tea loses its properties.

Journal of Food Science in the United States in 2009 proved that green tea loses about 32% of properties after 6 months, if you want to avoid this, you can do this by keeping the tea in a sealed container in an area devoid of light or humidity! But after a while, tea properties will still disappear!
