Its seems a though everybody has been on a green tea binge lately which is great because its a very healthy habit. I am so very excited about all the positive research about the benefits of green tea. The exciting news keeps on coming. But, you might not want to believe me. I mean after all I am only your neighborhood reporter and beauty goddess. (You probably didn’t know that there was actually my official title, did you?) Instead, check out the peer-reviewed data available everywhere:
• 2001 International Journal of Cancer
Green tea is well known for helping prevent many different chronic diseases. This was a study that was done using people and not animals, for analysis. You certainly aren’t dealing with fish and green tea. These were real people who live in China.
• 2003 International Journal of Cancer
Angiogenesis and some forms of cancer can actually be kept at bay by drinking green tea. Cancer will not develop without the presence of angiogenesis in your cells. Which means that the healthy habit of green tea will actually help stop cancer in its tracks.
• 2006 Journal of American Medical Association
Green tea also contributes to a decreased cancer deaths. Studies showed that those who drink more green tea happen to have lower cancer mortality rates. In a nutshell, green tea basically appears to help them avoid or recover from cancer better.
• 2009 American Journal of Epidemiology
Blood and lymph cancers can be held at bay by green tea. A new Japanese study indicates that drinking 5 liquid cups of green tea each day can reduce the probability of developing these issues by up to 50 percent.
And those are just four of thousands and thousands…
So, as you have read, green tea is truly a healthy habit you should keep. If you do not already have the habit, then start working on it right now. And trust me, it’s so much better and better for you than starting any type of bad habit. Either make your own tea or take it in supplement form. Taste disgusting? Take it in capsule form. Whatever way you decide to get your daily green tea, you can have confidence knowing that you are taking steps to having a long and health life.
