Tea is one of the most common drinks worldwide, in many cultures it is believed that drinking tea improves your overall health. For instance, green tea is drunk by people with Type 2 diabetes because compounds in green tea help the processing of sugars in the body. Tea may also help reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes, protecting against cardiovascular and degenerative diseases. The clotting of blood formed by high cholesterol and blood platelets results in heart attacks and strokes, but drinking tea may help keep your arteries clog-free of blood. Tea is capable of lowering BMI by decreasing the persons’ chance of suffering from metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is known to increase the risks of diabetes, artery diseases and stroke. …show more content…
One cause of cardiovascular diseases is atherosclerosis, in which plaque builds up in the arterial walls causing narrowing of the arteries making it harder for blood to flow. The buildup of plaque in the arteries can cause the formation of a blood clot which may completely stop the blood from flowing resulting in a heart attack or stroke. High cholesterol in your body is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Too much cholesterol in your blood builds up in the walls of your arteries, causing atherosclerosis. Flow of blood and oxygen to the heart muscle is then blocked triggering a heart attack. [6] Seven studies from seven different countries showed an outcome of a decrease in the overall cardiovascular disease with increasing tea consumption. The average tea consumption in this research was three cups of tea per day. The rate of decrease in cardiovascular diseases was different between every geographic region. [24] Age is associated with the amount of green, black and oolong tea consumed by men and women. Of the three teas used in this experiment, green tea consumption was associated with lower risk of CVD in women as well as men. Black tea consumption didn 't show any association
The Boston Tea Party was not really a tea party. Instead it was a group of people dressed like Indians with axes dumping tea off three ships to protest British taxes. It took place in Boston Harbor, Boston, Massachusetts on December 16, 1773, from 7:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M.
The Boston Tea Party led to the creation of the US and the revolutionary war. Before any taxes were put on tea, the colonists had to deal with the Quartering and Sugar Act. They didn’t like it since it included the British invading their homes and belongings. They were taxed on multiple things. The colonists decided it would be a good idea to just boycott British goods. It worked and both acts were taken away although this angered Parliament and they ended up getting another act.
Throughout the course of history there have been many events up to the independence of America. Some of them were small, where others were much more significant. One of the more important events was the Boston tea party. When the Boston tea party comes to mind, many people think of the ship and the tea and patriotism in the 18th century. Let’s talk about what actually is the Boston tea party.
On December 16, 1773, 150 American colonists from Boston took a stand for their beliefs and raided three British ships to dump all of their tea in the harbor. The Tea Act was the reason for Boston colonists raiding the ships in what is known as the Boston Tea Party. The destruction of the tea in the Boston Tea Party was a result of several years of the British Parliament controlling the American Colonies. The British Parliament’s negative reaction to the Boston Tea Party created a domino effect that led into the American Revolution. The Boston Tea Party was a planned protest formed to show Britain that they had no right to tax them for their own profit. Several men dressed as Indian Mohawks and took control of the ships. They then broke open
In the American colonies on April 19th, 1775, the American colonists were being ruled over by Great Britain. American colonists were being pushed to their breaking points as British generals were sent to America to try to “maintain order”. The colonists wanted nothing more than to be freed from British rule and rid themselves of the taxes that were placed on their heads. The colonists temporarily stopped these taxes once they dumped the British tea into the Boston harbor on December 16th, 1773. Although most of the tea was easily recovered, the message still stood that the American colonies wanted out of the system. The Boston Tea Party is said to be the first official moment where American colonists felt a true sense of pride in their country;
There are many things that caused the Boston Tea Party. Some of them were the Sugar Act of 1764, the Stamp Act of 1765, the Townshend Acts of 1767, the Tea Act of 1773 and Boston Massacre in 1770. The Sugar Act raised taxes on sugar, coffee, molasses, silk and wine. The Stamp Act put a tax on all printed materials, such as newspapers and playing cards. The Townshend Act put taxes on lead, paper, paint and tea. This act also allowed British customs officers to search any ship. The Tea Act actually lowered the cost of tea and made British shipped tea cheaper than the Colonial smuggled Dutch tea. According to this act, the tax on tea needed to be collected within twenty days of the ships arriving at the port. The tea arrived
The Boston Tea Party was an important act of civil rebellion in history that provoked Americans around the issue of taxation and helped spark the revolutionary war. The Boston Tea Party had many effects on history not only in America but also throughout the world. It has had both minor and great influences and had many positive consequences for the American colonists. In the following paragraphs the reader will be informed on the events leading up to the Boston Tea Party, the incident itself, and the happenings it triggered.
One might wonder why I've choosen this topic well it's easy it seems that history has a weird sense of irony to it doesn't it. A long time in place not to uncommon from today we American's were being bullied by a systemical system of tyrant's who wanted absouletly no more then to just get there way and leave us shang highed thankfully we American's didn't back down. A governantce body of lords and commoners. Trying to make whatever profit they could by pushing their tea onto us.

One of the major causes was the Boston Tea Party in 1774.At this location where the December 16, 1773 destruction of the tea occurred. The original location of the Boston Tea Party no longer existed due to extensive landfills that destroyed the location. This was caused by the city of Boston’s rapid growth in the 19th century. In 18th century Boston, Griffin’s Wharf was a bustling center for maritime commerce and shipping. The perfect region of the original Griffin’s Wharf is open to debate, but the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, placed on the Congress Street Bridge, it is near to the approximate area where the Boston Tea Party took place. A historical marker celebrating the Boston Tea Party stands on the corner of Congress and Purchase streets.
The known story of the acts committed during the Boston tea party refers to Sons of liberty stalking up to a British ship and throwing chests of tea overboard. Even though this is not completely accurate, the story behind the Boston tea party forms the shaping of the new world. The Tea Act was the final straw of a long list of taxes and laws that Great Britain implemented on the colonist’s that led to the Boston Tea Party and eventually led to the American Revolution.
Imagine, several men dressed as stereotypical Native Americans, dumping what is equivalent to $1,000,000 of stolen tea into the Boston Harbor. This seemingly unrighteous and illegal activity was a reality in the Boston Tea Party, just one of the many unjustified acts performed by the Sons of Liberty, a group responsible for so many violent and illegal activities, they can even be considered a terrorist organization. While many patriots believe that seceding from Britain is the best way for the Colonies’ success because the British have supposedly taxed the Colonies unfairly and exercised too much control over the Colonies, the American Colonies should stay loyal to Britain and pay their taxes at the level Britain requires. In order to prevent
