The Many Benefits of Drinking Orange Pekoe Tea *

The term orange pekoe is generally used to refer to any medium-grade black tea with leaves of a specific size. These tea varieties originate from Sri Lanka and India and may include leaf buds as well as young tea leaves. Like all types of black tea, orange pekoe varieties boast a range of purported health benefits for those who consume them regularly.

High Antioxidant Levels:

While green tea is often touted for its antioxidant properties, studies have shown that black tea is just as effective at delivering the protective effects of these compounds. The main job of antioxidants is to prevent damage from unstable free radical molecules and keep the body healthy at a cellular level. Since free radical damage is a normal part of everyday life, it follows that tea is a beneficial part of a daily health regimen.

Disease Fighting Potential:

Thanks to this high antioxidant level, orange pekoe tea may be able to combat or prevent cancer. Studies of the polyphenols found in tea have shown that a particular compound called TF-2 can actually slow the growth of cancerous cells. Antioxidants also work to thwart damage to cellular DNA so that no mutations are replicated and new cells are healthy when they're formed.

Blocks Inflammation:

The same TF-2 that may fight cancer has also been shown to be beneficial when it comes to inflammation. COX-2 is one of the many pain pathways responsible for initiating inflammation in the body, and drinking orange pekoe tea may actually block COX-2 signaling. Because inflammation puts the immune system constantly on alert, it is suspected to be the root of many degenerative diseases. Tea may be a natural way to cool inflammation and keep the body healthier.

Boosts Heart Health:

Many people suffer from a condition called endothelial dysfunction which may be an underlying cause of heart disease. In one study, regular consumption of black teas including orange pekoe varieties was shown to be able to reverse this condition, thus potentially lowering the risk of developing cardiovascular problems. In addition, black tea contains polyphenol and flavonoid compounds that may reduce overall risk of death from heart disease.

Works With Antibiotics:

In one study published in the Indian Journal of Medical Research, black tea was shown to complement the effects of antibiotics when working against common intestinal infections. The same study reported that black tea is just as effective as green when it comes to combating microbial infections. When you sip orange pekoe tea, you enjoy much more than a flavorful cup of a popular brew. Visit Tea Forté to find bags and loose leaves of the pekoe variety and boost your health with every cup.
