Todays ‘green’ couldn’t come at a better time. We are in the
middle of moving (with a baby for the first time; learning curve!) and oh yeah;
it’s record low temperatures. Green tea is such a simple thing to add to your
diet with really great health benefits. It has been heavily studied and shown
to be highly beneficial to many aspects of cardiovascular health. It is also
rich in antioxidants and has been shown to lower cancer risk. You can read more
about green teas’ health benefits here. It has some caffeine, but less than
coffee and black tea so it is a nice light boost, especially in the afternoon.
Drinking three or more cups a day seems to have the most health benefits. I
like to take mine in the morning with lemon, honey, and sometimes gelatin. You
can find green tea straight up or mixed with other herbs. Mint green tea is definitely
one of my favorites, especially chilled. It is great mixed into smoothies or
used as a base for soups. Try replacing your morning coffee with a green tea
latte and you wont be sorry.
What is your favorite tea?
