A cup of green tea in the morning rejuvenates the body and soul. The three E’s- Enjoyment, Essential health benefits and Energy- make it one of the most popular brews. No wonder why it is a delight for the taste buds!
Enjoyment:
A soothing cup of green tea gives you sheer enjoyment. Green tea with honey best serves as a sweetener after a sumptuous meal. When served hot, it is the perfect brew and when served chilled, it will replace all your smoothies and frappes. Same degree of delicacy can be enjoyed both in summer and winter. The credit goes to its delicate taste.
Essential heath benefits:
A list of health benefits can be attached to green tea. The beverage is full of antioxidants (catechin polyphenols) that produce free radicals which in turn help increase body’s metabolic processes. The anti-oxidant is also known to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Moreover, catechin polyphenols reduces the LDL cholesterol and prevents the formation of blood clots. Green tea is also found to reduce heart attacks and strokes.  Green tea also acts as a medicine for minor cuts, rashes and sunburns. You can also avoid tooth decay by making it a habit of sipping a cup of hot green tea every morning.
Energy:
Kick-start your day with a cup of green tea. It can make wonders if taken in smaller doses. Green tea also reduces anxiousness by relaxing the mind. Drink green tea during office tea breaks.
