Need yet another reason to enjoy tea time? How about this…

Researchers at Dartmouth University have found that drinking two or more cups of black or green tea every day can cut your risk of acquiring two of the most common types of skin cancer.

Your risk for squamous cell is reduced by 65% and basal cell carcinoma by 80%! Not bad for a beverage, hey?

So why the super powers? Tea is loaded with protective polyphenols which are said to contain a plethora of antioxidant properties. Bonus: polyphenols may also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Bottom line: If you’re not yet a tea drinker, now might be a good time to get brewing. And if you are, good for you. Enjoy all the benefits this healthy beverage has to offer.
