Too many free radicals in any one organism can lead to cell damage and environmental pollution leading to ill effects of sunlight. Undernourishment caused by false food intake can lead to free radicals inside the human body and also cancer.
White Tea
It has been said for quite a while that white tea has medicinal properties. Its high content of polyphenol makes the tea special. Current researchers are trying to prove that white tea contains three times more polyphenol than green tea and therefore more effective. Polyphenol contains high levels of effective antioxidants which destroy free radicals and strengthen the immune system. Consuming this tea on a regular basis can also lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases.Green Tea
Scientific research has proven that consuming green tea prevents the risk of cancer. Tumour biologists from the Karolonska institute in Sweden believe they have discovered that green tea suppresses malignant swellings (Magazine Nature vol. 398, p. 381, 1999). Responsible for that is a substance called Epigallocatechin. You can find the same concentration in human blood after the consumption of 2-3 cups of green tea. That goes to show the immense effect of green tea..
Oolong
Oolong is wonderful and unique in its own way – it is a combination of the full aroma and delicious flavour of black tea combined with the healthy qualities of green tea. Oolong tea is also known for its fat burning effect. It stimulates the nervous system, raises the metabolism therefore activating the fat burning process. Oolong tea is often served with a rich meal in China.Black Tea

It is decaffeinated and is a non irritant and therefore can be given to children and infants as well. This wild rooibos tea can also be used for weight reduction because its natural sweetness can block the ravenous appetite for sweet stuff.
What are free radicals?
Free radicals cause early cell aging and are involved in the development of particular diseases.Too many free radicals in any one organism can lead to cell damage and environmental pollution leading to ill effects of sunlight. Undernourishment caused by false food intake can lead to free radicals inside the human body and also cancer.
