If you want to binge on something healthy, green tea is a good healthy habit. All the research about the benefits of green tea are very exciting. The good news just keeps coming. However, don’t stop your research with my article. I’m just your friendly neighborhood science-reporting beauty goddess. (Bet you didn’t know that was my formal title, did you?) As an alternative, look at the peer-reviewed data below:
• 2001 International Journal of Cancer
Chronic gastritis and stomach cancer are just a couple diseases green tea can prevent. Scientists analyzed people for this study. There were mice or fish studied with green tea. They really used real people in China.
• 2003 International Journal of Cancer
Green tea has been found to interfere with some types of cancer and angiogenesis. 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 was a study that showed that people who drank green tea usually tended to have lower death rates from cancer. In short, green tea is a really great cancer inhibitor.
• 2009 American Journal of Epidemiology
Green tea can help prevent blood and lymph cancers. A new study out of Japan showed that if you drink about 5 cups of green tea daily it can cut the probability of you developing any of these issues by 50 percent.
There are literally thousand of more reasons to drink green tea.
As you can see, green tea is one of the healthiest habits you can have. If you do not already have the habit, then start working on it right now. Trust me — it’s a lot better (and a lot better for you) than trying to start nibbling your nails or twirling your hair! Take a supplement or brew your own, either way you are getting beneficial nutrients. Taste disgusting? Take it in capsule form. Your will live longer and healthier by indulging in this healthiest of habits.
