Benefits Of A Daily Cuppa

WHETHER it’s your daily bit of me-time, something to share with a friend, or the remedy for life’s small setbacks, there is nothing like a nice cup of tea.

In Britain we drink 165 million cups of tea every day. We like our coffee, too, sipping 70 million cups daily.

Increasingly, we also hear that tea and coffee are good for health. Is this wonderful news – or is it too good to be true?

To learn more, I got in touch with Chloe Miles, Community Dietician and spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association.
