Lately, its like everybody has been on a green tea binge, and its an incredibly good healthy habit. I am just so excited about all the research out there on the benefits of green tea. The good news just keeps coming. But, you may want to do more research before you take my word for it. Because I’m no “expert” in the field, just a beauty goddess who does her research. (Bet you didn’t know that was my formal title, did you?) But, look below at all the peer-reviewed information that is widely available:
• 2001 International Journal of Cancer
If you drink green tea it can help prevent chronic diseases, such as gastritis and stomach cancer. These studies were handles using real people. We aren’t talking about using mice and fish in studies about 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. Cancer that is already in existence can actually be stopped from forming and growing with the healthy habit of green tea.
• 2006 Journal of American Medical Association
Green tea contributes to decreased carcinogenic mortality. 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 appeared to help them avoid or recover from cancer more effectively.
• 2009 American Journal of Epidemiology
Blood and lymph cancers can also be prevented by green tea. A study released from Japan indicates that by drinking 5 cups of green tea a day you can greatly reduce your chances of developing these cancers by up to 50 percent.
And those are just four of thousands and thousands…
As you can tell, green tea is definitely a healthy habit worth keeping. This is one habit that you should definitely start. Believe me, its so much better and better for you than trying to start some new bad habit. Take a supplement or brew your own, either way you are getting beneficial nutrients. It’s ok if you don’t like the taste, just take it in a capsule. You can feel good knowing that you are prolonging your life and keeping your skin beautiful by indulging in this very healthy habit.
