Wherever you look there are green tea products, and for years we have heard that there are many benefits to drinking Green tea, so I decided to do a little research and create a summary about this delicious and nutricious drink :)
Health Benefits:
-These three cups can help you burn upto 100 calories daily and increaes your metabolic rate by 4%
-Can help reduce your appetite
-Great way to cut down on coffee calories
-Helps prevent fat absorbtion
-Green tea has been found to reduce many types of cancer including: breast, lung, and colon as well as prevent the creationg of LDL ( bad choloesterol) and increase HDL ( good choloesterol
How to Prepare:
-3 cups of green tea is the average you need to consume to recieve the benefits, if you really don't like the taste there are green tea extract pills that have most of the same benefits
-You should let it steep for 3-5 minutes before you drink it
-You should drink it freshley brewed to get the benefits, none of that bottled stuff
-I recommend it iced with lemon :)
