What happens when you drink tea every day?

Black, green, or herbal, we know that tea is the longevity beverage enjoyed by the world's longest-living people, but how does it work to extend longevity, alleviate stress, protect against cancer, and reduce the risk of heart disease?
 

Why tea is a longevity drink.

Why tea is a longevity drink: With over 1,500 varieties, not including all the different herbal blends, it is a comforting and pleasant drink with healing effects. In blue zones, where it is consumed regularly, it is believed to be healthier than water. Green tea provides strong immune support for combating diseases and extending a quality life. Tea leaves contain powerful antioxidants called polyphenols that help prevent cancer, heart diseases, osteoporosis, and other chronic issues. Polyphenols are normally found in large quantities in fruits, vegetables, grains, coffee, and wine. Specific polyphenols in tea are called catechins or EGCG, which are more potent than polyphenols found anywhere else in nature.

The amino acid L-theanine counteracts any caffeine in tea and the agitation that can be associated with it.

Amino acids are said to increase brain activity to achieve a state of relaxed focus. The highest concentrations of L-theanine are in green and white tea varieties. It has been shown to decrease low-density lipoproteins (LDL) or bad cholesterol, combat body fat accumulation, inhibit viral diseases like colds or flu, and reduce plaque buildup on teeth.
