for the love of green tea
I've become helplessly addicted to green tea. I specifically love the Trader Joe's brands and, even more so, the Stash brand of green teas. For those of you not aware of the world of green tea, here is a bit o' information for ya... 
Simply out of curiousity, I've done a bit of research on green tea and have pretty much found the same health benefits every where I read: green tea reduces high blood pressure, lowers blood sugar, and helps to prevent cancer. All great things! Green tea also boosts the immune system because of its high concentrations of polyphenols and flavenoids. And amongst all the health benefits is my favorite...it burns fat naturally and increases metabolism! How, you ask? Well, green tea contains high concentrations of catechin polyphenols. These compounds work with other chemicals to intensify levels of fat oxidation and thermogenesis, where heat is created in the body by burning fuels such as fat. Drinking Japanese green tea regularly will increase your metabolism and help burn fat safely and naturally. (source: www.japanesegreenteaonline.com) I cannot claim to recite these facts as if I came up with them on my own - a great site to check out is www.japanesegreenteaonline.com. It gives lots of interesting information on green tea and other types of teas.

More and more health benefits are getting discovered for green tea and with other teas as well. A cup in the morning already detoxifies our body. It even keeps our teeth healthy and, as research says, may help lessen dental caries. It’s quite fun that you’re discovering the benefits of green tea on your own. :)
Great post! I couldn't agree more with your love for green tea. I also love the health benefits that come with drinking green tea, especially the fact that it helps boost the metabolism and burns fat naturally. The Stash and Trader Joe's brands are definitely worth trying for those who haven't already.
