Have a cup of tea and make it green

One of the few beverages I advocate my clients to drink other then water is green tea. Green tea has been linked to several benefits;
• May prevent the following cancers; bladder, colon, esophagus, pancreas, rectum and stomach
• Decreases the risk of coronary artery disease: Green tea lowers cholesterol which has been confirmed by both human and animal epidemiological studies. Additionally, green tea lowers Fibrinogen. Fibrinogen is a substance that can cause blood clots and strokes.
• Stimulates metabolism
• Releases Dopamine: Dopamine is the brain’s master regulator of reward and pleasure.
• Full of antioxidants
• Reduces inflammation

Due all these reasons above and more, green tea has become popular in the mainstream but be careful. The type of green tea I’m talking about here is the actual tea packets - not the Lipton bottled garbage that’s full of sugar or claims low calories and is full of artificial sugars.
I recommend my clients have two servings a day. Either have one in the morning and one before bed, or two packets at the same time. Try not to add sugar or any other artificial flavoring. If you’re not keen on the taste, once you make the tea, mix it into a shake with fresh fruit.

Instead of coffee, go green - TEA
