Masala tea is getting more and more popular, not only in India but also over the world. However, is masala tea good for health?

Introduction

There are many reasons why masala tea is favored by everyone. It might be because of its distinctive taste and flavor, while some like masala chai as they can freely create their own formula based on their taste. However, many love this drink thanks to its beneficial properties. In this article, FGC will introduce some health benefits of masala chai. 

What is masala tea?

Masala tea or masala chai is a popular drink originating from India, which is loved for its unique taste and aroma. Masala tea is the blending of black tea, milk, and several herbs such as ginger, green cardamoms, cloves, and cinnamon. There is no specific formula for every cup of masala tea. Depending on personal taste, you can create your own cup of masala chai with different strength levels, flavor, and taste. Masala tea is well received and spread all over the world because of not only its flavorsome and delicious taste, but also its amazing health benefits.

Is masala tea good for health?

Masala tea’s health benefits stem from its beneficial ingredients. Following are some remarkable healthcare benefits of masala chai:

Improve immune system 

If you are looking for a drink that helps boost your immunity, masala chai will be a wise choice thanks to its rich source of antioxidants. Ginger, cinnamon, and clove are usually found in a cup of masala tea, which helps create a line of defense against infections and viruses. Drinking masala tea everyday is beneficial to building a healthy immune system, especially for elders. 

Reduce inflammation

One of the prominent ingredients in masala chai is ginger, which includes strong anti-inflammatory properties. When combined with other herbs, such as clove, the anti-inflammatory effects even become profound. Clove is known as a painkiller as it contains eugenol compounds, which can support your body in reducing pain and inflammation. Lessening inflammation can help you stay away from chronic diseases like heart disease or cancer. 

Enhance digestion

Constipation, indigestion, and bloating can all be avoided by sipping some masala chai after a meal. This beverage also helps to support good digestion thanks to its diverse spice ingredients, including cinnamon, cardamom, clove, and black pepper. All of them contain antibacterial properties to help prevent stomach problems brought by bacterial infections. For instance, cinnamon is helpful for diabetes because it can lower blood sugar and increase insulin sensitivity. The amount of digestive enzymes required to break down food and promote proper digestion might be increased by black pepper. Additionally, ginger is famous for its anti-nausea effects. Try some masala tea now if you are struggling with digestion issues.

Boost heart health 

Including black tea and many spices such as cinnamon and cardamom, masala tea is believed to be good for the health of your heart. Drinking masala chai can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. The primary ingredient in masala chai, black tea, has flavonoids that aid in blood vessel relaxation and enhanced blood flow. Besides, cinnamon, another key material in masala chai, has been proved to be effective in reducing cholesterol levels by up to 30%

Boost energy levels

The base of masala chai is black tea, which has a certain amount of caffeine. Along with its strong taste and flavor, masala tea will provide the extra boost for you to start a day. The spices in this beverage blending will work as a counterbalancing agent to reduce the negative effects of caffeine. They also include anxiolytic properties, which are beneficial to lessen stress and anxiety levels. Besides, your mind and body might feel calmed thanks to the distinctive aroma of masala tea.

Actually, masala chai is one of the greatest ways to begin your day full of energy. It is more than enough to drink a cup of masala tea a day to keep you healthy and prevent many diseases.

Masala tea contains caffeine, which can vary depending on the amount of black tea that you use. Generally, the caffeine content might lie between 20 and 60 mg per cup (240ml). Therefore, it is suggested to drink no more than 3 cups of masala tea a day to avoid side effects. Even if you are addicted to masala tea, remember not to overuse it a day.
