Green tea has been around for 1000′s of years, and the Chinese have always known about the many health benefits of green tea. Now the rest world is catching up and jumping on the green tea bandwagon.
What makes green tea so healthy? Antioxidants, green tea is loaded with antioxidants that support your bodies immune system and helps eliminate harmful toxins from your body. These powerful antioxidants are so potent that research is showing that they might even be able to cure cancer.
In addition to being healthy green tea can also help you lose weight. Green tea has what is called a thermogenic effect on your body meaning that it makes your body burn more calories there by causing you to lose weight. In addition many people feel they get a natural energy boost, and also that they can think better when taking green tea.
Promoting good health and weight loss are great, but perhaps the best part is that green tea tastes wonderful. It doesn’t give you that insulin crash that soda does, and it’s not hard on your stomach like coffee. You can find green tea in many different flavors, but stay away from bottled tea because most of the time it’s filled with sugar or artificial sweeteners. The best way to buy green tea is in bulk loose leaf form, or if that’s not available in your area you can substitute it with bagged tea, but keep in mind that bagged tea is typically lower in quality than loose tea.
By simply replacing soda, coffee, or any other sugar filled beverages with green tea you’ll be doing yourself a huge favor and you will notice a positive change within days.
