7 REASONS TO DRINK GREEN TEA

>> Saturday, May 8, 2010



The good news about green tea is hard to ignore!   Even a java junky like me, has to admit I have been drinking this subtle brew.   This dose of disease fighting, inflamation annihilating antioxidant should be enough incentive to drink it, but there's more.....

1:   Cuts risk of cancer with several polyphenols, the antioxidants that make green tea famous seem to help keep cancer cells from growing and preventing your body from producing new ones.

2:   Soothes the skin, if you have any extra tea that you didn't drink (shame on you!) soak a cotton ball in it, for a natural antiseptic that relieves itching and swelling.   Works on blemishes, sunburns and puffy eyes too.

3:   Cut high blood pressure with just 1/2 cup of green tea per day.

4:   Protect your memory by drinking 2 cups a day to protect brain from damage caused by free radicals.

5:   Keep your arteries young with green tea, it reduces plague build up.

6:   Helps in reducing the risk of esophageal cancer.

7:   It is thought that green tea helps prevent tooth decay, due to the anti-bacterial effects.

I hope this has been useful information for you, Enjoy!
