I love tea and grew up drinking black tea. So lately I have been trying some green teas, one of my favorites is gyokuro, a Japanese green loose tea, by Harney and Sons Co. Very good. Take time out and sip a soothing cup of tea.
Looking for a simple resolution to improve your overall health? Start drinking green tea. My
beverage of choice, green tea is a potent source of catechins - healthy antioxidants that can inhibit cancer cell activity and help boost immunity. Need more reasons to drink green tea? It can also:
- Lower cholesterol levels and rates of heart disease
- Help protect against bacterial infections
- Promote joint health and stronger bones
- Reduce inflammation
- Enhance the effects of antibiotics, even against drug-resistant bacteria and "superbugs"
Green tea is available in a wide range of varieties - introduce yourself by substituting a cup of green tea for a cup of coffee, or add a glass of iced green tea to your afternoon ritual and you will soon be enjoying the health benefits of this delicious beverage! Learn to appreciate the subtle fragrance of good-quality green tea and use teatime to unwind, meditate and take respite from your stress du jour.
