Health Conscious And Refreshing: Lipton Ice Tea

By:


Lipton Tea runs the institute of tea and dedicates it's time to the study of tea and the health benefits it has to offer. It all began when Sir Thomas Lipton made a trip to Ceylon in 1890, a country renowned for tea leaves. He experimented with various crops and came up with a blend he introduced to the Scotland market known as Lipton Tea. By the closing of the 19th century Lipton Tea was one of the most popular blends in the UK after he expanded his business into Britain. Lipton Tea is today a beverage empire and it recognized throughout the whole world.

Mind body benefits: stay alert.

There really is a lot more to Lipton Ice Tea than just refreshment. Studies performed on regular consumption of tea shows that it has the ability to revive you by improving mental alertness and reducing fatigue. Whilst some may assume this is due to the caffeine content in tea, there is also proof that other compounds and factors in tea greatly contribute. Theanine occurs in the plant Camellia sinensis which is where tea comes from, this is a major amino acid that is found in green, black and oolong tea. The predominant form of this amino acid is L-theanine, this stimulates alpa-brainwaves and helps you relax your mind from racing in times of stress and assists you with focusing.

How's your immunity and body image?

Nearly everyone knows that tea contains antioxidants that can guard against 'free radicals', these antioxidants found in tea are called flavonoids. These antioxidants have the potential to control inflammations and improve resistance to infections, offering a more stable balance of bacteria in the gut and kill the bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers. But wait, there's more. Studies have shown that the flavanoids in tea result in significant loss in total body fat and weight reduction, what more could you ask for? Theanine, the amino acid that can help with mental fatigue, is also known to activate specific cells involved with protection, therefore reducing the risk of bacterial and viral infections.

There is so much more that tea has to offer and there is no doubt that drinking Lipton Ice Tea can be beneficial to your overall health and wellbeing. Not only that, it tastes good too. With flavours ranging from Peach, Lemon and Mango to Green Citrus and Light Lemon Green it would be hard not to find a flavour that makes your taste buds happy and does your body a favour too.
