HOUSTON — After water, the most popular drink in the world is tea. Worldwide, there are twenty-five thousand cups of tea consumed every second. According to legend, the history of tea dates back to ancient China, almost five thousand years ago. Emperor Shen Nung discovered tea when leaves from a wild tree blew into his pot of boiling water. Down south we like it sweet, but there's much more to tea than that.
Kim McHugh, Owner of McHugh's Tea Room, stopped by Great Day Houston to discuss the health benefits of tea, which include lowering your risk for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and improving heart health. McHugh encouraged the Great Day Houston audience to set the goal of drinking one cup of tea per day, as this can have strong positive impact on overall health and wellness.
