Bottled Tea Sold As Health Drinks

Before you buy any product, including health drinks, always read the label, to confirm this is the product you need and you are happy with the contents of the package. If you’re on the go and do not have the time to brew a pot of tea at home, try to find a brand of bottled tea with the least added sugar.

Some contain fruit juice, but beware, because these contain a high amount of sugar, possibly to sweeten the fruit flavor.

The news is not all bad though. The level of antioxidants in bottled drinking tea may be similar to fruit and vegetables, depending on the type of tea used and how it is brewed.

There are antioxidants in bottled tea drinks that are due to more fruit flavor than the tea itself! For example, black tea flavonoids reduce the production of LDL - the "bad" cholesterol that can lead to stroke and heart attack.

It is also said to have the ability to improve the function of blood vessels within two hours of drinking just one cup!
