Tea may keep your smile bright
"Japanese
researchers have found that tea can decrease tooth loss," Ardine says.
"It changes the pH in your mouth when you drink it and that may be what
prevents cavities." Beyond that, tea, unlike many other beverages does not
appear to erode tooth enamel, Bonci says.

Tea may boost the immune system
Studies
have shown tea can tune up immune cells so they reach their targets quicker.

Tea may help battle cancer
Studies
on this are currently mixed, which means more research is needed, Bonci says.
But, in the meantime, "if you've got a strong family history of cancer and
you want to do anything you can, you might increase your tea consumption,"
she adds.

Herbal tea may soothe the digestive system
"Herbal
teas, in particular chamomile, can be good for people with irritable bowel
syndrome because it is an antispasmodic," Bonci says. "And ginger
teas can calm nausea."

Tea — unadulterated, that is — is calorie free
"It's
a great no-calorie alternative to water," Bonci says. "It provides so
many options for flavor and versatility. You can have it hot or cold. And you
don't have to put anything in it, though you might want to add a cinnamon stick
or some ginger. That means you're able to hydrate with something other than
water alone."
