\"High<\/span>“Better to be deprived of food for three days, than tea for one.” ~ Ancient Chinese Proverb<\/em>
\nLast week, while getting my hair ‘done,’ a lovely young woman whose hair was dyed black with a few blue highlights (absolutely fabulous, didn’t have the nerve to do it myself) made me a cup of green tea! The tea was soothing, delicious and while drinking it, I remembered that green tea has been reported to help one lose weight. So, when I got home, I did a bit of digging and reading and here’s what I learned!
\nGreen tea, used for thousands of years in Asia,<\/strong> as both beverage and herbal medicine is now the subject of numerous scientific studies in the U.S. and abroad.
\nResearch shows that green tea helps to prevent cancer and heart disease. Green tea slows the aging process and may even reduce harmful blood cholesterol and blood sugar levels. It has been known to prevent and reduce the pain of rheumatoid arthritis.
\nMiraculous health benefits, indeed! Scientists in the United States and Switzerland published a study in the December 1999 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showing that green tea extract contained a substance that may help burn fat.
\nThe Linus Pauling Institute explains that the weight loss is “apparently due to increased fat oxidation and thermogenesis.”
\nPut that in your teapot and drink it! (Green Tea contains caffeine).
\nA recap or recup, if you will!
\nGreen Tea …<\/strong>
\n1. helps to prevent certain types of cancer
\n2. helps to prevent heart disease
\n3. slows the aging process
\n4. reduces harmful blood cholesterol and blood sugar levels
\n5. prevents and reduces the pain of rheumatoid arthritis
\n6. helps burn fat
