Green Tea

There are so many reasons to drink Green Tea every day!  For example,  it is high in polyphenal catechins which help to reduce your risk of developing cancer and heart disease.  Many studies have also shown that the compounds found in Green Tea also help to aid in the loss of abdominal fat.  When I lived in Japan Green Tea could be found everywhere both hot and cold, making it a soothing and refreshing drink!!!  There are many different types of green tea which help to keep the drinking experience fresh.  Macha green tea is one of my favorite!  It is used in Japanese tea ceremonies.  It comes in a powder form and when mixed well gives you a warm and frothy drink!  There are also many other blends of green tea which come from both china and Japan.  Two of my favorite are;  the Uncle Lee's Organic Green tea which combines Chinese leaves, as well as the Stash Organic Premium Green Tea which uses both Japanese and Chinese leaves.  If you are new to Green Tea and not sure of the taste......you can start with flavoured tea's such as Green and Citrus.  I promise that when you find a Green Tea that you enjoy you will be hooked!  I have converted so many of my coffee drinking clients to green tea and on average, they have lost about 5 pounds in one month!  Do something good for you today and have a lovely cup of green tea while you read this blog!  In health and happiness:)
