Health Benefits of Green Tea

Following on from a article the other day about Enviga, which contains green tea extract, I came across a headline in my RSS feed reader, about a website which has been recently launched around the health benefits of green tea, so I decided to write a post about the site, I've only scratched the surface when it comes to talking about this actual tea before in previous posts so decided to write a bit more in depth about it this time.

So I will include the address in this post so you can make up your own mind as whether or not it would be beneficial to you and your health.

For quite some time now everyone for a long time, including doctors, tea drinkers have all been talking about the health benefits of green tea, amongst its claims are prevention of cancer and heart disease, this is probably due to the high levels of antioxidants that green tea contains which protect cell walls from damage, the antioxidants mop up the free radicals which do the damage.

The problem we have nowadays is over marketing of everything ,and more money is spent on selling foods and beverages that aren't necessarily good, for us so more often than not we tend not to hear about these things, such as green tea and can be quite can be quite dismissive as to whether or not they will be beneficial to our health.

Amongst the health benefits listed on the www.greentealibrary.com are listed here in summary format.

I would say it's in your vested interest to have a look at this site, there is also a accompanying book. Myself I do actually drink green tea at first when I tried it I wasn't sure what to make of it, but now quite enjoy it, in mine I have two sweeteners instead of having sugar. More tea anyone!!!!!
