Green tea please.

To say green tea is good for you would be an understatement. According to www.green-tea-expert.com:
“What happens is that our body utilizes the defensive antioxidant molecules which are present in our system as a response to the negative effects of free radicals. This is done to detoxify the harmful effects.This is the main reason why health professionals are encouraging you to increase the levels of antioxidants in your body. There are various food available that contains high levels of antioxidants such as fruit and vegetables. The antioxidant levels of green tea is hundred times more effective than vitamin C and twenty-five times better than vitamin E in protecting our immune systems.”
Pretty cool huh?
Check out these benefits I found via www.green-tea-expert.com:

Since I want ALL of these benefits, I am taking a green tea extract pill as well as drinking one cup of green tea daily. During the day, I enjoy of cup of Tazo Zen which is described on the box as “a harmonious blend of green tea with lemongrass & spearmint.” There are around 30mg of caffeine in this drink (8 oz of coffee has around 80mg of caffeine). In the evening, I’ll have a cup of decaffeinated Bigelow green tea. Just a drip of honey and it’s good to go.
