Green Tea

I'm kind of in love with green tea. I've completely switched over from coffee. In fact, I've become kind of a green tea enthusiast, drinking 3-5 cups a day. I've been researching a lot of the health benefits of drinking green tea, and it's been pretty cool to learn about. For example, drinking 3-6 cups of green tea a day can lower your chances of cancer, Alzheimers, high cholesteral, tooth decay, and boost your metabolism as well. It's been a great way for me to wake up in the morning (green tea has about the same amount of caffeine as coffee,) to relax in the afternoon and evening, and to do something good for my health. My new years resolution was to drink more tea each day, and I'm really glad I've gotten into the habit of doing so. It's been a really nice addition in my daily diet, and I'd really encourage others to give it a try. In fact, try drinking 3 cups of green tea a day for a week or two and see what happens. You might become annoyingly obsessed with it (like me.) I like it best with lemon juice, but you can try adding sugar, honey, or just drinking it plain.
Seriously, give it a try. You may notice a really positive difference in the way you feel.
