Tea Kills Viruses

TweetTea Kills Viruses


Take frequent tea breaks this winter and you may get through it without a sniffle!

Immunologists at Harvard University discovered that people who drank five cups of black tea a day for two weeks transformed their immune system T cells into "Hulk cells". These cells pump out ten times more cold and flue virus-fighting interferon than did the immune systems of those who did not drink black tea. Green tea should work just as well.

Germs that your body fights with interferon cause not just the common cold and flu, but food poisoning, infected cuts, athlete's foot -even diseases such as tuberculosis and malaria. It is thought that the interferon boosts from tea may help prevent or lessen the severity of all these conditions.

While the suggested five cups a day may seem like a lot, fewer cups may still offer some valuable protection.

The interferon link may explain tea's other health benefits, including its reported cancer-fighting power, since we already know that interferon slows the growth of tumor cells.

TweetGood post, thanks. After reading some of Mick G's post regarding green tea, I bought a kilo of the stuff. Less caffine than coffee per serving. Good stuff and now this, cool beans...

TweetI Know that tea also absorbs all your iron intake. So, avoid to drink it right before/after a meal.
I've attented a Ronnie Coleman's conference and during 4 hours, he drank something like 2, 3 cups of Black tea !
