Green Tea – The Amazing *SUPERFOOD*
The Chinese have known about the medicinal benefits of green tea since ancient times, using it to treat everything from headaches to depression. Today, research shows green tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells, lowers bad cholesterol levels, improves immune function, prevents tooth decay and can help you burn more fat!!!
How to get more in your diet: Aim for 1-3 cups a day. Green tea now comes in many different flavors (my favorite flavors are Chai and Mint!!). I almost always have a cup of hot green tea with my breakfast. I also keep a few flavors of decaffeinated green tea around to sip before bedtime. Enjoy it hot or iced or use it in place of water to blend into smoothies! Add Stevia or another natural low-calorie sweetener if desired.
