Tea Time

I've been drinking green tea for several years; at least 2-3 cups a day. When working at Ummelina's I learned that green tea had numerous benefits for the skin. One of the major benefits is it helps halt oxidative damage to cells (major cause of aging). Its anti-oxidant properties are said to be more powerful than vitamins C and E. Studies have also found that drinking green tea can be a contributing factor to reducing the risk of several cancers, including skin, breast, lung, colon, and bladder. That really got my attention! A secondary use for green tea bags is to help reduce puffiness around the eyes--moisten 2 tea bags with warm water, relax and lay over closed eyes for 10 minutes.

I live in the coffee capital of the world, Seattle, but green tea still remains my favorite hot beverage. Try it, you might like it!
