Daily Health Habit: Green Tea

Enjoy a cup of organic, fair trade coffee in the morning if you like.  Drink lots of water throughout the day. And consider drinking a few cups of green tea in the afternoon.  Steaming hot or iced cold, either way green tea is a potent source of healthy antioxidants (catechins) that have been shown to

- inhibit cancer cell activity

- boost immunity

- lower cholesterol

- protect against bacterial infections

- promote joint health and stronger bones

- reduce cellular inflammation linked to premature aging

- enhance the effectiveness of antibiotics

Pretty amazing stuff.

There is quite a difference in taste between brands so experiment a bit until you find one you enjoy.  It is an acquired taste, but well worth the effort.
