Green Tea


Green Tea has always been in the part of my life. I started drinking Green Tea since the age of 13. Infact green tea has become a staple beverage for most Asians.

The first person who founded the benefits of green tea was Chinese Emperor Shen Nung. It was reported to have been boiling water when some leaves of the Cameilia sinensis(herbs extracted from green tea) fell into his pot.

WHY I LOVE DRINKING GREEN TEA?
- Weight Loss
It helps to clear the toxin. It has been found that the EGCG found in green tea diet can increase the metabolism rate in our bodies. I lost about 2 kg when i first started drinking green tea but i guessed results vary. I drink green tea everyday to maintain my figure.


- Control Cholesterol
Survey was conducted on 240 people with mild to extremely high cholesterol levels and after twelve weeks of continuous drinking of green tea, those people dropped 16% in their cholesterol levels. (WOW!!!)

- Fight Cancers
Best of all, Green Tea helps to fight different type of cancers such as stomach cancer, colon cancer, oral, prostate, breast and cervical cancers.

- Make your skin better
If you are prone to acne breakdown, PLEASE make it a habit to drink green tea. Due to toxins acumulation in our body, pollution and stress. Our skin start to dehydrate and get breakouts. By drinking green tea not only helps to protect the skin from damage due to ultraviolet light radiation but also aids in acne breakout by flushing out the toxins in our body.

Green Tea is great for health! The many benefits of drinking Green Tea just can’t be beat. All the same, it is difficult for a lot of people in America to get used to the taste of Green Tea. It is definitely an acquired taste. With all the good health benefits of drinking Green Tea—thermogenic properties to help lose weight, helping fight cancer, controlling cholesterol, protecting your skin from UVA and UVB and also helping to prevent photoaging—drinking Green Tea should be a part of our lives, too. There is good news for those who don’t like the taste of freshly brewed Green Tea or don’t have the time to brew it! Green Tea supplements like Green Tea Plus are a more convenient way to get your Green Tea health benefits. It can also be used in a variety of ways like adding it to desserts like Jello, or cakes, or other recipes. http://www.newvitality.com/shop/green-tea-plus.aspx
