When it comes to cognitive longevity and overall wellness, drinking a daily cup of tea is one of the cheapest, tastiest and healthiest habits. Whichever type of tea you prefer, whether hot or iced, each sip is doing your body a favor. Different herbal teas offer different health benefits. Chamomile, for example is linked to helping keep blood sugar levels steady and alleviating the symptoms of PMS. Yerba Mate tea offers a natural energy boost. And on the beautiful Greek island of Ikaria, locals sip on savory teas steeping with herbs often looked in other parts of the world.
