Iced tea may be the quintessential summer drink, but a glass is more than just delicious refreshment on a scorching hot day. Drinking iced tea may help reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer and give your immune system a boost. What's so special about iced tea? All black and green teas, iced or hot, contain antioxidants called polyphenols. Research suggests that polyphenols work to track down free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage cell structure. By combating free radicals, antioxidants may be able to prevent widespread cell damage and, therefore, decrease the risk of heart disease and cancer. Green tea gets more hype because it contains the highest concentration of polyphenols, but all teas, with the exception of herbal teas, contain some polyphenols.
To get the most from a glass of iced tea, brew it from loose leaves or a tea bag using boiling water. You can add sliced lemon to perk up the flavor or, even better, fiber-rich crushed raspberries (once you enter Phase 2) for a fruity variety. If you like your iced tea sweet, add a sugar substitute. Be advised that tea (whether iced or hot) contains caffeine, so try to limit your consumption — no more than two glasses daily. Decaffeinated tea is another option as is unsweetened herbal iced tea (though, again, herbal teas don't provide the same health benefits as green or black tea).
