GREEN TEA
As I was sitting here this morning trying to figure out what to post, I glanced over at my seeping cup of hot, wonderful GREEN TEA and decided to post some pretty interesting information on it. I am your everyday, gym crazed, psycho, health nut. Over the past couple months I've been looking into different supplements, meal replacements, foods and drinks that could help me to just feel good and energized each and every day. As most people know green tea has been around for a long time and there have always been rave reviews about the health benefits of drinking green tea. Since there are so many different health recommendations on the market these days, I thought I'd attach a few facts about this great and all natural health source you can get anywhere. Here are some of its benefits;Benefits of green tea and its effects were discovered 4,000 years ago and since then has been considered a wonder drink! The green tea ingredients are the ones responsible for its amazing health benefits. They are called polyphenols! Polyphenols are considered the most effective of all antioxidants and the amounts as well as the effects are far higher compared to black tea. Asian population are experiencing the effects and benefits of drinking green tea. Statistics have shown that Asians have a lower risk of acquiring diseases because of their healthy lifestyle. Another health benefit of green tea is it's potential to act as a protective agent against premature death from heart disease and cancer. Drinking this tea is said to lower the levels of total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol, thereby reducing platelet aggregation, and helping keep blood pressure in check. Other health benefits of drinking green tea are the following:
• fights against cancer
• helps stabilize diabetes
• prevents cardiovascular disease
• it keeps your skin acne-free, making it healthier and prettier
• assists in weight loss regimen
• slows the aging process
• aids your digestion
• encourages bowel regularity
• provides you with a mild stimulating effect without causing sleepless nights or nervousness especially during pregnancy
You can do a lot of things with this green drink. The health benefits are not only confined to drinking but you can also medicate with it. What else? You can cook with it! Use the leftover liquor to water your plants, and keep your cat's litter box fresh and pleasant smelling. These powerful health benefits of green tea cannot be compared to any other substance in the world without a single side effect. I drink green tea once a day in the morning right when I get to work and I keep a fully loaded drawer of it and some herbal honey. So what are you waiting for??? Have you had your green tea today?

I would hope not TC; I'm hopping that little bit of mild stimulating effect will keep us going like the energizer bunny..LOL. I actually use Tazo, Zen Green Tea from Starbucks, but I had hear of another one that is supposed to be pretty good, but can't remember the name. I'll take a look when I get home and let you know :)
The benefits of green tea are amazing, but I'd still rather drink gin & tonic. ;-)
