It all began when Sir Thomas Lipton made a trip to Ceylon in 1890, a country renowned for tea leaves. He experimented with various crops and came up with a blend he introduced to the Scotland market known as Lipton Tea. By the closing of the 19th century Lipton Tea was one of the most popular blends in the UK after he expanded his business into Britain. Lipton Tea is today a beverage empire and it recognized throughout the whole world. Mind body benefits: stay alert. There really is a lot more to Lipton Ice Tea than just refreshment. Studies have shown that the frequent consumption of tea assists in the ability to revive the body by creating improvements in metals alertness and a reduction in the feeling of fatigue. Whilst some may assume this is due to the caffeine content in tea, there is also proof that other compounds and factors in tea greatly contribute. Theanine occurs in the plant Camellia sinensis which is where tea comes from, this is a major amino acid that is found in green, black and oolong tea. The predominant form of this amino acid is L-theanine, this stimulates alpa-brainwaves and helps you relax your mind from racing in times of stress and assists you with focusing. How's your immunity and body image? Almost everyone in the western world knows now that tea contains anti-oxidants which safeguard the body against free radicals. The particular anti-oxidants found in tea are termed as "flavanoids". These antioxidants have the potential to control inflammations and improve resistance to infections, offering a more stable balance of bacteria in the gut and kill the bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers. But wait, there's more. Studies have shown that the flavanoids in tea result in significant loss in total body fat and weight reduction, what more could you ask for? Theanine, the amino acid that can help with mental fatigue, is also known to activate specific cells involved with protection, therefore reducing the risk of bacterial and viral infections. Because of everything that tea has to offer, there is little doubt left that choosing to drink Lipton Ice Tea over other beverages can have better effects on overall health and well being. Not only that, it tastes good too. With flavours ranging from Peach, Lemon and Mango to Green Citrus and Light Lemon Green it would be hard not to find a flavour that makes your taste buds happy and does your body a favour too.
