Queen Camilla, 77, has her secret to youth, health, and longevity. It consists of a balanced diet and one drink that she adores, according to Daily Express.
What healthy drink does Queen Camilla like?
Queen Camilla was recently spotted buying black cinnamon tea and orange tea. She was shopping for Christmas gifts at Fortnum and Mason in London.
As tea in the UK is not just a symbol of culture, the royal's choice prompts the question: which teas are the healthiest?
Family physician Dr. Donald Grant spoke about the health benefits of cinnamon tea and other types of tea.

Queen Camilla's tea purchase reminds us of how common these drinks remain in British culture.
Camilla's choice of cinnamon and orange tea is healthy, and this drink has numerous benefits for our bodies.
“Firstly, this drink contains antioxidants that reduce inflammation and boost immunity. Additionally, the presence of cinnamon offers several health benefits including helping lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease,” the doctor said.
However, this is not the only healthy tea option.
Black tea is another type of drink that came from China around the 17th century. Using the same leaves as green tea, it has a different production process. The leaves are allowed to fully oxidize before drying, which gives them a darker appearance.
The flavor is usually stronger than most other teas, but it is still an incredibly healthy choice. This drink contains flavonoids and antioxidants that support our well-being in many ways, including brain function and cardiovascular health. The amino acid L-theanine, found in black tea, helps people stay focused and alert.
