IT’S TEA TIME!by Kathy Wolfe

It’s the world’s second most popular and cheapest beverage (after water), so shouldn’t you know a little more about tea? Tidbits has the goods on this drink, so listen up and learn!• Every day about three billion cups of tea are

consumed around the world. In America, it can be found in 80% of households, and an estimated 127 million Americans are drinking it on any given day. Most of that tea comes from India, the world’s largest tea producer, processing about 850,000 tons each year.

• More of tea’s many medicinal and health benefitsarebeinguncoveredeveryday.Green tea seems tobe especially healthful. It is high in the amino acid theanine, which has been shown to reduce stress and improve mental concentration. It may also increasethebody’s immunesystemandantioxidantpowers. Lab testing indicates that catechins, a type ofantioxidant,inhibitthegrowthofcancercellsandmay help reduce the breakdown of cartilage. A recent university study indicated that tea has more potent antioxidants than22fruitsandvegetables thatweretested. Scientists say drinking green teamight alsoeven help prevent tooth decay! And a study in the Netherlands has shown that those who drink catechin-rich tea are 50% less likely to die of heart disease.

Q: I’ve begun to notice that our 10-year-old Shih Tzu’s leg quivers when she lifts it to go to the bathroom. Is this a warning that something is wrong?

a: “Your observation is astute,” cheers Dr. Kate Knutson, AAHA President. “Anytime, there is a change in your pet’s behavior, contacting your veterinarian is the right thing to do. In this case, the leg quivering could be an indication of pain.”Since your dog isn’t likely to replicate this particular behavior at the veterinary clinic, try to capture it on video, suggests Knutson, of Bloomington, MN

If indeed your dog is in pain, the next step, of course, is to determine why, which can only be done with a thorough examination.
