Question

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.


Next to water, tea is the most commonly consumed beverage in the world. This is a good news because tea

offers important health benefits. Its benefits were first discovered by the Chinese Emperor Shen Nung who

declared that it gave one vigour of body, contentment of mind and determination of purpose. Today there is

ample proof that tea in its many forms possesses a number of health benefits from supporting the immune

system to reducing the risk of cancer, to helping prevent tooth decay.

What makes tea such a healthy drink? The star compounds are called catechins. Those are antioxidants that

help prevent cell damage by harmful molecules called free radicals.

Tea can be black, green and red and is derived from a warm-weather evergreen tree known as Camelia

Sinensis. The more processing tea leaves undergo, the darker they become. Green tea is the least processed

tea. It is simply steamed quickly and offers the maximum healing powers because it isn’t fermented. It also

helps prevent tooth decay and aids weight loss.
