Miracle worker in a cup 🙂 and tasty too!
1. Tea can boost exercise endurance. Scientists have found that the antioxidants in green tea extract increase the body’s ability to burn fat as fuel, which accounts for improved muscle endurance.
2. Drinking tea could help reduce the risk of heart attacks.
3. The antioxidants in tea might help protect against a boatload of cancers, including breast, colon, colorectal, skin, lung, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, pancreas, liver, ovarian, prostate, and oral cancers.
4. Drinking tea is linked with a lower risk of Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.
5. Green tea increases metabolism. The polyphenol found in green tea works to intensify levels of fat oxidation and the rate at which your body turns food into calories. That, in itself, should be enough evidence to encourage all of us to drink tea!
6. Regular consumption of green tea is thought to reduce the risk of high blood pressure.
7. Green tea can apparently also help with wrinkles and the signs of aging, This is because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.
The other great thing about green tea is that it’s inexpensive. You can generally find a 40 count pack for between $3-$6, depending on which brand you purchase. I drink Lipton Green Tea because it comes in an assortment of tasty flavors and can be found at just about any grocery store. I was particularly fond of Lipton’s Green Tea Superfruit Jasmine Passionfruit with Citrus this past winter. The addition of citrus to this flavor is what pulled me in during the cold and flu infested winter months. Now, with summer approaching, I’ve been leaning more towards the coconut and berry flavors. I enjoy my cup with a packet of Splenda and a splash of Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk. You can also add some ginger to your tea for added health benefits.
So if you’re not a tea drinker, give it a try. With all the benefits that cup of tea holds, why wouldn’t you? I actually think tea is an acquired taste, so if you don’t like it right away, stick with it. You may be surprised how you feel about it in a week or two.
