Green Tea Benefits
March 3rd, 2008 by Jeannie
For some reason a couple of weeks ago I gave up my morning coffee and swapped it for a cup of green tea instead. I’m not sure how or why this transition took place, I’ve always loved a cup of joe first thing in the morning. The smell of coffee brewing can make it more addicting then the actual caffeine but for some reason i just didn’t like the taste anymore. This is not to say i will never have a cup again but i find it strange that after years of being an avid coffee drinker the switch to tea happened so easily.
I am happy to hear however, that switching to drinking green tea has many health benefits such reducing the risk of many cancers. Antioxidants such as various polyphenols that are high in green tea make this possible. Green tea also keeps your heart strong and your blood pressure normal and it can takes years off your life by keeping your arteries healthy which will prevent heart disease and stroke. For those of you who need a metabolism boost drinking 2-3 cups of green tea a day will help to increase calorie burning so you lose weight. So even if you still want to drink your coffee maybe throw in a couple of cups of green tea. My favorite - Jasmine Green Tea. It can only do your body good.
