This means that it helps destroy the free radicals that can damage DNA in the body; they are known to cause cancer, heart disease, and brain degeneration. Though our bodies are supposed to be able to fight them on their own, it is not completely effective. Tea might also provide protection from ultraviolet rays.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8582\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8582\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption
