Thank you for this article. When I drink my green tea regulary I feel so much better. I tend to be in a better physically, mentally, and emotionally. I find I have a better outlook and issues do not bother me as much. It seems to keep me more level headedand energetic during stress stressful times. I have nto had the time to research it bit am certain to take the time to utilize the information and contacts to understand green tea better.
ReplyDeleteI knew that green tea was a powerful antioxidant, but I had no idea that research has been done saying it may also help prevent dementia. Alzheimer's runs in my family and my Nana is progressively losing her memory, so I will do more research and possibly suggest she start drinking more green tea. Thank you!
