It's official...tea does a body good

In the October issue of Harvard's Health Watch, there will be an article about how tea can be really healthy and should be drunk 3 times a day.

Here's an excerpt:

The October issue provides a few tips to get the most out of tea-drinking:

- Drinking a cup of tea a few times a day to absorb antioxidants and other healthful plant compounds. In green-tea drinking cultures, the usual amount is three cups per day.
- Allow tea to steep for three to five minutes to bring out its catechins.
- The best way to get the catechins and other flavonoids in tea is to drink it freshly brewed. Decaffeinated, bottled ready-to-drink tea preparations, and instant teas have less of these compounds.
- Tea can impede the absorption of iron from fruits and vegetables. Adding lemon or milk or drinking tea between meals will counteract this problem.

Now will that convice you to drink tea?
