Green Tea for Vitality!

Green Tea comes from the bush Camellia Sinensis, which is the same plant that black tea comes from – the difference is that green tea is dried and not fermented.  This process keeps all the beneficial chemicals intact, which is why green tea is so good for you.

Drinking green tea regularly has the following benefits:

©     Lowers risk of heart disease

©     Lowers risk of certain cancers

©     Stimulates fat oxidation, aids weight loss

©     Potent anti-oxidant

©     Controls diabetes

©     Gives a clear, healthy complexion

©     Calms digestion

©     Slows the ageing process

Green tea does contain the stimulant caffeine, which can cause nausea an insomnia.  However, drinking 1 to 4 cups of green tea daily is recommended to make use of the rejuvenating health benefits.

Green tea has quite a bitter taste.  Add a dash of lemon and a drop or two of honey to make a delicious refreshing drink!
