This is my second post on Green tea. The first one was Stabucks’s Green Tea Frappuchino, very satisfying but laden with calories! This post is on Green Tea in its truest form. I’ve always know that this ancient Chinese drink is high in anti-oxidants and is therefore good for your skin and complexion. That's all I needed to know. Apart from occasionally ordering green tea at a Chinese restaurant, I’ve tried a couple of retail brands as well. The best by far has been the one home-brewed by Trader Joes. It’s pretty expensive though, viz a viz the Arizona Green Tea that sells at the same price for a gallon! ‘POM’ is another brand; they bottle Green and White Tea in different flavors, very natural but again, pretty pricey!Today I decided to read up a little more on the much hyped Green Tea and realized that there are a whole lot of other health benefits associated with its consumption as well. In an article titled “The Miracle of Green Tea”, the author has listed a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful.
* cancer
* rheumatoid arthritis
* high cholesterol levels
* cariovascular disease
* infection
* impaired immune function
There’s an ancient Chinese proverb that says "Better to be deprived of food for three days, than tea for one."
If it’s going to make my skin glow, SURE.!
