TAKE TEA...AND FEEL BETTER

Here's more good news about the health benefits of drinking tea. A study at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School found that drinking tea appears to boost the immune system possibly due to a protective ingredient that helps the body fight bacterial infections and, perhaps, viruses, parasites and even tumors.

During the study, the researchers measured the activity of the immune system's gamma delta T cells in people who normally don't drink tea. They also took some of those cells and exposed them to the protective ingredient ethylamine and then to bacteria. The gamma delta T cells from non-tea drinkers didn't attack the bacteria, but cells that had been exposed to ethylamine from tea multiplied 10-fold and produced a bacteria-fighting chemical.

While it isn't known if the ethylamine in tea has the same immune boosting effects in the body as seen in the lab, drinking tea may help keep you healthy longer.
