Drinking just a few cups of green tea a day might be one of the easiest ways to keep feeling and looking fantastic over the long term.  Here are just a few of the priceless benefits of drinking green tea:

Mighty Antioxidants – Our poor bodies are exposed to a number of harmful pollutants on a daily basis.  Free radicals are unstable chemicals naturally formed within us as our bodies react to these pollutants. Free radicals attack our healthy cells causing them to age prematurely.  Premature aging– what a frightening thought!  Luckily, the antioxidants found in green tea help to neutralize these chemicals and can even repair the damage that may have already started to cause.

Natural Metabolic Booster – Green tea contains catechins that naturally work to boost your metabolism which can help to burn more calories from fat.  Talk about a tea that goes to work for you!  The mild caffeine levels found in green tea coupled with this slight metabolic boost have been proven to be a powerful team.

Keep Calm & Sip On- One other little gem that you can find in a cup of green tea is the amino acid L-theanine.  L-theanine has been known to help reduce stress and anxiety by inducing a state of calm without the drowsy side effects.  It has also been known to increase focus.  Given the hustle and bustle of the daily grind, a calm focus can be a really great balance to achieve.
