Taking A Tea Break Is Good For Your Health

Want to get a problem off your chest? Women up and down the country agree that sitting down with a good old cuppa is a great way to get a problem out in the open. A survey carried out by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) to celebrate its fundraising partnership with Tetley decaf, reveals:

•Three quarters (73%) of women have chatted about problems over a cup of tea, and

•Two thirds (64%) of all women use a brew to get those they care most about to talk about their issues and concerns

So, if you’re among the:

•Quarter (25%) of women who know someone who has a problem they need to share, or

•1 in 5 (19%) women who have a concern of their own they’d like to discuss

Why not get together and put on the kettle? Not only will it give you a great excuse to have a chat, but if you buy Tetley decaf you will be helping the BHF make a real difference to some of the 2.6 million people living with heart disease. That’s because, Tetley decaf is helping the BHF fund vital patient care initiatives by donating 10p for every pack of 160s and 5p for every pack of 80s bought until March 2007.

“Combine the effects of a warm cup of tea and a listening ear and it appears you have the magic formula for problem sharing. What’s more, if you drink Tetley decaf you’ll be raising vital funds to help the nation’s heart charity keep hearts beating,” said Douglas Rouse at the British Heart Foundation.

This year, Tetley is aiming to raise £225,000 to help the BHF fund schemes, such as community-based Heart Support Groups, where heart patients and their families can meet to discuss their experiences and get the right kind of support to ensure a good quality of life.
