Days are getting hotter and while it is in our tradition to reach for a can of coke or soda to invigorate us, why not really go for a better drink to reward your body? I learn that one of the most refreshing ways to cool off on a hot summer day is drinking a tall glass of iced green tea.
People in Eastern Asia like Japan and China have long known the benefits of drinking green tea.
Some bare facts about green tea.
It is made from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis tree. The best green tea is grown in Japan and is harvested in the spring months. Recent research is revealing that this tea is particularly beneficial for your health. It is higher in antitoxins than the traditional black tea drunk in the West. Green tea has also been found to have vitamin C and fluoride.
Green tea has more of these properties than the traditional black teas because of the way it is processed is able to preserve its anti-oxidants and vitamins and reduce the level of caffeine.
There are various ways to serve up good refreshing green tea and I highly recommend all of us to change our dietary habit to something that is proven to be much healthier. Ditch your soda and coke and consume green tea. Yes it could be hard at the beginning. I found it hard at the beginning too, but the little voice in me kept encouraging me on. Now I find it tough without drinking at least a cup of green tea each day!
