How does tea do the body GOOD?
Dr. Ruxton’s research found that consuming four cups of tea a day allows maximum health benefits.  Even three cups a day reduces risk of heart attack by 11 percent.  Drinking tea helps boost the immune system and strengthen teeth and bones.  It also aids in blocking LDL (bad) cholesterol and increasing HDL (good) cholesterol, which improves artery function.  The essential oils in tea leaves help digestion, and green tea is even thought to aid in weight loss.

Some may worry that the caffeine in tea may cause dehydration, but Dr. Ruxton assures consumers that is not the case.  In fact, caffeine has many positive functions like relieving headaches, improving mood and helping concentration.  It is also considered an age old remedy for asthma symptoms.

"Many people wrongly think that drinking tea will make you lose fluid and become more thirsty, but this is a myth.  Studies on caffeine have found very high doses dehydrate... but even if you had a really, really strong cup of tea or coffee, which is quite hard to make, you would still have a net gain of fluid.  Tea is in fact re-hydrating, not dehydrating," said Dr. Ruxton.

What is a Re-enactment?
A term for portraying events and battles of the past in a very accurate manner. The best possible recreation of an event in all of its structures, preferably at original locations, with clothes or uniforms made as the original ones and under the same environmental conditions. Not to be confused with Live Action Role Playing (LARP) although sometimes LARPers try to be as close to their setting as Re-enactors to historical events. The difference is that LARPs can have accurate elements (that is being true to details given in a fantasy story like the Lord of the Rings that they try to portray) but Re-enactment is based on the best possible accuracy. There's a certain connection to things like Living History or Experimental Archaeology, although Re-enactment is sometimes called "Histotainment" (a mix from History and Entertainment) to make clear it's not a scientific way to learn about the past and therefore to depreciate it.
