Drinking Green Tea + New Schedule!

Hey! People are probably wondering what this post is about, right? Well you should be! But first, I need to talk about my new schedule! I am going to be rotating, starting with beauty and fashion to health and well-being to books and movies to baking and cooking to a random post! I will still be blogging on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays but I will be blogging about different things more often. Now lets get started on the Green Tea thing!

Yesterday I went to a Japanese Restaurant and I loved it! I love there food, it's amazing! But one of my favourite things there was Green Tea. Usually, you can get it from the supermarket in bags, but it tastes much nicer from leaves. Me and my dad are going to the Asian Supermarket today to get some leaves, and did I mention that Green Tea is very healthy? Here are the health benefits of Green Tea!

1. According to the National Cancer Institute, the polyphenols in tea have been shown to decrease tumor growth in laboratory.
2. One large-scale clinical study compared green tea drinkers with non-drinkers and found that those who drank the most tea were less likely to develop pancreatic cancer, particularly women, who were 50% less likely to develop the disease.
3. Studies have also shown the positive impacts of green tea on breast, bladder, ovarian, colorectal, esophageal, lung, prostate, skin and stomach cancer.
4. Green tea may promote a small, non-significant weight loss in overweight and obese adults; however, since the weight lost in the studies were so minimal, it is unlikely that green tea is clinically important for weight loss.
5. Other studies have found that green tea is helpful in preventing dental cavities, stress, chronic fatigue, treating skin conditions and improving arthritis by reducing inflammation.


Hope you enjoyed and if you try Green Tea, please tell me in the comments below!
