Green Tea

So I have been trying green herbal tea lately....aide from the Lipton tea I was drinking previously. It is absolutely delicious; you may need to have delicate taste buds t actually taste the tea. Otherwise, you taste hot water.

Once you open that bag full of the tea packet you get this wonder scent of herbs and even the smell somehow calms you down!

"Green tea's antioxidants, called catechins, scavenge for free radicals that can damage DNA and contribute to cancer, blood clots, and atherosclerosis. Grapes and berries, red wine, and dark chocolate also have potent antioxidants." (Julie Edgar-Green Tea`s Powerful Antioxidants)

"Marji McCullough, ScD, RD, the American Cancer Society's strategic director of nutritional epidemiology, says human studies haven't yet proven what researchers like Chan have discovered in the lab: green tea's EGCG regulates and inhibits cancer growth and kills cells that are growing inappropriately. " (Julia Edgar-Green Tea vs Cancer)

"Green tea and its extract have been shown to fight obesity and lower LDL "bad" cholesterol -- two risk factors for heart disease and diabetes -- but in very limited studies. One study in the Netherlands and a study in Japan showed that green tea did both." (Julia Edgar-Green Tea and Weight)

"Taking weight loss supplements that contain green tea extract probably won't hurt, unless you have liver problems." (Julia Edgar-Green Tea Straight up)

WebMD-Green Tea Health Benefits (Link to where I got my information from) 

Nonetheless, I drink tea simple because it`s relaxing and enjoyable. It`s always nice to know that something you enjoy drinking to help relax is also very health beneficial.

Try some! And if you don't like a certain flavor...there are many kinds of tea boxes, bags, makers, etc that can suite to your tea loving taste(or soon to be).
