Drink­ing a vari­ety of teas through­out the day gives your body high expo­sure to a a num­ber of polyphe­nols and phy­to­chem­i­cals that it most likely does not obtain through nor­mal diet. Unlike phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal drugs, the effects of these nat­ural chem­i­cals coax your body into a state of bal­ance. In fact, many pop­u­lar drugs have their roots in com­pounds found in plants. Instead of tak­ing chances with a con­cen­trated form of a sin­gle phy­to­chem­i­cal, the nat­ural form of the plant con­tains mul­ti­ple chem­i­cals work­ing in sym­phony with each other as nature intended for the body.
