Tea offers several health benefits due to its content of substances such as polyphenols, including catechins, which promote health. According to a large-scale scientific study cited by 'apotheker.de', the official portal for German pharmacists, regular tea consumption can help prevent the following diseases: cardiovascular diseases, as tea can contribute to lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels; obesity; diabetes; and various types of cancer. Researchers have also found evidence of tea's benefits for cognitive functions, reducing age-related muscle loss, and mitigating inflammatory processes. Scientific studies have found that tea consumers have a lower overall mortality rate. Researchers also concluded that tea is particularly beneficial for health when it is freshly brewed and consumed regularly. They pointed out that tea loses its benefits when it is over-processed, which applies, for example, to bottled tea and bubble tea, which often contain artificial sweeteners, preservatives, and other additives.
