Herbal teas don't just taste nice
Women who drank at least 150 ml (two thirds of a cup) of herbal daily had a remarkable 57% less risk of developing breast cancer according to an observational study in Europe. Other antioxidant-rich beverages like black tea, coffee, white wine, red wine and fruit juice were also considered. But only showed a risk reduction. Importantly, the three most popular teas among this group of women (who lived in France) were: lime flower, peppermint and vervein (verbena). Herbal teas have essentially zero calories and are rich sources of cancer-fighting polyphenols, so do consider adding more of this healthy option to your daily routine!
