GOODNESS OF GREEN TEA

I have always like green tea. Drinking green tea is very relaxing.
There are lots of benefit drinking green tea. Green tea is filled with inflammation-fighting antioxidants. The Japanese have been drinking it for ages....see how healthy they are.
Sip at least three big mugs of green tea every day for an antioxidant boost.
Studies says that drinking green tea may reduce your risk of skin cancer.
How do you take your green tea?
Its best taken if you add a generous squeeze of citrus juice—like lemon, lime, or orange—the tea’s antioxidants get a boost of staying power, so they remain in and benefit the body longer, rather than being digested quickly and having much of the goodness go down the drain.
So remember the next time you drink green tea, squeese some lemon juice and the taste is better too.
After drinking your tea dont throw away the tea bags.
Keep them in the fridge. It can be use for treating puffiness of your eyes.
This is how you do it.
Put the chill damp tea bag on your eyes for 10-15 mins, you will feel a great relief.
as the green tea contains tannins, which act as an astringent when applied to skin and can help reduce puffiness.
You can also drink a blend of green and black tea, also known as oolong tea to boost metabolism and loose weight.
Green tea can also be used as a first aid fix.
Says Leah Sherman, a naturopathic physician in Portland, Oregon.
"Treat minor scrapes, bug bites, and sunburn with green tea, which contains tannins that act as a natural antiseptic and relieve itching and swelling. Just apply cooled tea with a cotton ball".
This one I like:
In a British study, people who drank black tea four times a day for six weeks calmed down more quickly in stressful situations than those who didn’t drink tea. Black, green, and oolong teas all contain theanine, an amino acid that helps the brain and body relax.
So next time instead of drinking coffee opt for tea instead.
Happy drinking.
