January is National Hot Tea Month

It's no surprise that January should be National Hot Tea Month: the cold winter months are a great excuse to drink hot tea.

In addition to helping you stay warm, tea can build up your body's immune system, which is a great thing during cold and flu season.

We also recommend using National Hot Tea Month as a reason to share tea with someone you care about. After all, it's good for you! Read on below to find out reasons you should incorporate tea into your health-related New Year's Resolutions.

• Tea is full of antioxidants, which have been linked to fighting a number of cancers, including prostate cancer, breast cancer, and other types of cancer.  
• Tea is good for the cardiovascular system and dental health.
