Iced Tea: How To Get More Health Benefits From Your Brew
Tea offers numerous health benefits, including increased antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, improved heart health, and potential fat burning. However, these benefits are often diminished in pre-bottled iced teas due to the loss of flavonoids over time and dilution. Freshly brewed tea retains the most health-promoting compounds. Nutrition scientist Dr. Jeffrey Blumberg emphasizes the importance of consuming freshly brewed tea to maximize health benefits. Brands like Snapple, Arizona, and Honest Tea have varying practices regarding flavonoid content testing, with some not testing at all. Brewing tea daily at home is recommended to ensure maximum health benefits.
