green tea and its health benefits

hello, friends!

enjoying the chilly winter weather with a hot cup of milk tea.

 

 

some benefits green tea has to offer:

polyphenols present in green tea have been shown to

"slow the onset of atherosclerosis, some forms of cancer,

and slow the onset and severity of arthritis"

and theanine can "help anti-cancer chemicals

(such as doxorubicin) kill tumor cells more specifically" (106).

green tea also contains caffeine,

which can help boost your energy and mood.

 

I love this stuff.

my drink today is green tea with honey and almond milk.

read an earlier post on how to make milk tea here.

check the Pam Hunni Fitness Store
for teas I like and recommend.

xo, Pam <3
