Its seems a though everybody has been on a green tea binge lately which is great because its a very healthy habit. The research about the benefits of green tea are all so very exciting. Each and everyday more and more exciting research is coming out. But, you may want to do more research before you take my word for it. I mean after all I am only your neighborhood reporter and beauty goddess. (Bet you didn't know that was my formal 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. These studies were handles using real people. Mice, fish and green tea were not studied together. China is where they studied the effects of green tea on people.
• 2003 International Journal of Cancer
Green tea can also hinder angiogenesis and some forms of cancer. Cancers cannot develop without angiogenesis occurring in your blood cells. Cancer that is already in existence can actually be stopped from forming and growing with the healthy habit of green tea.
• 2006 Journal of American Medical Association
Green tea has also helped in the drop in carcinogenic mortality. This study proved that people who drank a lot of green tea had lower death rates due to cancer. In short, green tea appeared to help them avoid or recover from cancer more effectively.
• 2009 American Journal of Epidemiology
Blood and lymph cancers can also be prevented by green tea. A new study out of Japan showed that if you drink about 5 cups of green tea daily it can cut the probability of you developing any of these issues by 50 percent.
There are thousands and thousands more reasons to drink green tea.
As you can see, green tea is a habit worth keeping. If you don't already drink green tea, start now. Believe me, its so much better and better for you than trying to start some new bad habit. Some people like to brew their own tea while others take it as a supplement. Can’t stand the taste? Try it in a capsule. Whatever you decide to do, you can indulge in this healthy habit with confidence, knowing that you are taking steps to keep your life long and your skin intact.
