I love green tea and any product associated with it like green tea ice cream, green tea soya milk, and green tea cake (that's why, my friends presented me with that cake for my birthday).
I know green tea is good for health, it contains antioxidants which can help prevent cancer and ageing. It's also good for weight-loss.
However, I don't know that green tea is actually not only good - IT IS AMAZING (according to this source)
- It is good for heart. It will lessen the chance of getting heart attack and heart disease
- It can prevent cardiovascular disease
- Lowers the chance of getting atherosclerosis (don't ask me what's this, ask Mr Google will ya?)
- Prevents blood clots
- Minimizes brain damage after stroke
- Helps prevent hypertension
- Protects against cancer (ovarian cancer, breast cancer, etc)
- Reduces cholesterol level
Green Tea is one of the drinks which can be consumed both hot or cold, or even lukewarm. It contains only 1/3 in caffeine compared to coffee, so drinking a few cups of it won't make you wake up the whole night. However, if you have a bit of insomnia problem, try to limit your consumption by maximum 3 cups a day.
And.. good news for those budget-conscious people is... green tea is very inexpensive. Buying a box which contains 50 bags of green tea will only make you $6 to $10 poorer.
