One more cause for throat cancer
A recent research report published by British Medical Journal, suggests that people who drink tea hot, run a higher risk of throat cancer than their counterparts who prefer a cooler cup.
Cancer of the oesophagus is linked especially to smoking and alcohol abuse but hot beverages have also been now considered a risk factor, due to taking hot beverages possibly damages the throat tissue. A team led by Reza Malekzadeh of the Digestive Disease Research Centre at Tehran, looked at 300 people who had been diagnosed with a throat tumour and a matched group of 571 healthy people who lived in the same area.
Among those who drank hot tea were twice as likely to develop throat cancer compared with those who drank warm or lukewarm tea, whose temperature was 65'C or less. Drinking very hot tea at least 70'c or above was associated with an eight fold increased risk compared with warm or lukewarm tea.
The study also reveled with evidence that taking scorching fluids may cause damage to the throat's epithelial lining and lead to throat cancer, although the exact reason how it causes remains unclear.
And the final decision tea lovers, wait at least four minutes before drinking from a freshly boiled cup of tea.

Important Tip to Keep Fit
To make our body function smooth and keep fit we need our blood circulation accelerated for about 30 minutes a day, basically accelerating blood circulation increases the volume of blood flow through all the cells and tissues in all the organs of the body. This increases the supply of the oxygen, extra nutrients, and as well as clears the CO2 and waste products. By making this all the organs of our body gets cleaned, trimmed and made efficient, and this lasts for the next 12 hours only. Since it is better we do this acceleration of blood twice daily. We can divide the 30 minutes session into two 15 minutes session a day each, one in the morning and one at the evening.
