The spread of SARS, West Nile and other diseases have us all on alert, but a study just released provides great hope for protection against these and other ailments. A new study found that drinking green, black or oolong tea-but not herbal tea-boosts the body's defenses by 500% against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. After drinking tea for four weeks, tea drinkers secreted five times more interferon, the body's key infection fighter, than when they were not drinking tea. Coffee drinkers showed no increase in immunity. With new diseases emerging, our best defense is our very own immune system. Tea gives us the ability to increase our immune defenses fivefold, providing a tremendous advantage over infection and disease. Watkins TheraTea beverages, and TheraTrim, our green-tea based weight management formula, provide the immune boosting benefits of green tea in a beverage or a supplement, to give you a fighting force against illness.
