If it seems like we’ve been on a green tea binge lately, you’re right about that healthy habit. I am just so excited about all the research out there on the benefits of green tea. Each and everyday more and more exciting research is coming out. But, you may want to do more research before you take my word for it. I’m just your friendly neighborhood science-reporting beauty goddess. (Bet you didn't know that was my formal title, did you?) Instead, you can look at the information I gathered available everywhere:
• 2001 International Journal of Cancer
Drinking green tea can help prohibit and prevent chronic gastritis and stomach cancer. This study was conducted using people for analysis. You are not dealing with mice or fish and green tea. These were real people who live in China.
• 2003 International Journal of Cancer
Angiogenesis and some forms of cancer can actually be kept at bay by drinking green tea. If your blood cells contain angiogenesis then cancers will develop. This means that the healthy habit of green tea can help stop cancer that is already in existence by inhibiting its formation and growth.
• 2006 Journal of American Medical Association
There has also been a decrease in carcinogenic deaths due to green tea. This study showed that people who drank more green tea tended to have lower mortality rates due to cancer. In short, green tea appeared to help them avoid or recover from cancer more effectively.
• 2009 American Journal of Epidemiology
Blood and lymph cancers can be held at bay by green tea. There has been a new study released from Japan stating that by drinking 5 cups of green tea daily you will reduce you chances of getting these cancers by up to 50 percent.
Those are just four reasons out of thousands.
Green tea is really a habit worth keeping. Start drinking green tea and making it a habit if you don't already. Trust me -- it’s a lot better (and a lot better for you) than trying to start nibbling your nails or twirling your hair! You can make your own or take it as a supplement. Try it in a capsule if you don't like the taste. Whatever way you decide to get your daily green tea, you can have confidence knowing that you are taking steps to having a long and health life.
