So I've been reading up on green tea and all I can say is WOW! What an amazing food God has given us! The list of health benefits from those little tea leaves is crazy long! Now I've never really been a big tea drinker. I mostly just like to drink water and if I do drink tea I prefer iced tea. So what I've started do and hopefully will be diligent enough to continue is making a big pitcher of hot tea with a couple packs of Stevia in it and then refrigerating it. I have one of those big water bottles with the straws that you can buy pretty much anywhere and I'm just trying to make sure I drink one of those a day so I can reap all the benefits green tea has to offer. I'm also going to get my 2 older girls to start drinking a glass a day. As far as giving it to your kids what I've read so far is not to give it to babies or toddlers because of the high caffeine but giving it in moderation to older kids can actually be quite beneficial. Many people are calling this drink a super food!
Here is a list of things that you may benefit from by making green tea a part of your life :
Strengthened immune system
Inhibits cancer growths
Lower cholesterol
Strengthened circulation
Better digestion
Less cavities
Help with diabetes
Weight loss
Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. All for just enjoying a cup of yummy tea!
