For quite some time now I have read articles
on the health benefits of green tea. The majority and I would go as
far to say about 95% say that by drinking two to four cups a day can
boost your immune system, which in turn can help with health
benefits, and weight loss.
Every where you look on the Internet there
are references to diets using Green Tea. I have not delved into this
side of things at the moment, but I will do when I have the time.
There are many references to Green tea
helping cancer sufferers, and how they say that the antioxidant in
it's make up will help to reduce tumours and also to help further
spread of new tumors. It was the Chinese who's emperor Shennong who
first claimed that by drinking green tea that it's different taste
would help in all manner of ailments. That was 4700 years ago. Since
that time drinkers from all over the world now take it, and many
have fantastic health claims on how it has helped them.
Like all types of drinks there are many
different types, and to get one to your likening could take some
time. Another thing you must bare in mind that like coffee, and
normal tea is that it does contain caffeine, which can give you
sleep problems by keeping you awake. At this point I have to admit
that I've only just started to drink it, and I have to say that it's
refreshing, and it seems to clean your mouth as you drink it.
I did read somewhere that it could also help
with HIV. But please bare in mind that it is not a cure, nor will it
help prevent it.
Another fact that came to light was about
the diet side of things, and that the antioxidant part of green tea
as well as being good for you immune system which actually speed up
you metabolism giving you more energy, which results in you burning
off the fat on your body quicker. I think as you get older we all
could use a little more energy, and the weight loss off my middle
would be excellent.
If you are a normal tea drinker you have to
stop yourself from putting in milk, as apparently the milk will stop
all of its healing properties, and that your immune system will gain
no benefit.
