A cup full of health...

Have you ever wondered that just a cup of tea will make you take a leap for health. Yes, it's about green tea.... a sip full of antioxidants.

Many studies have been carried out stating that "antioxidant" are chemicals that are required to scavenge the free radicals in the body, thus preventing any damage.

Most common examples of them are beta-carotene, lycopene.  These are found in colored fruits and vegetables like carrots, tomato, beetroot, bell peppers etc. Our body probably makes some amount of these antioxidants but majority of the time we derive them through diet and sometimes we need some dietary supplements.

Green tea is one way to replenish your source of antioxidants.  It provides you with an expanded line of benefits like:
- weight loss
- lowers cholesterol
-controls blood sugar
-lowers blood pressure
- lowers risk of cancer

But the question arises that what should be the amount to be taken? I would suggest to bring it in your habit, by limiting it to 2-3 cups a day after meals ( helps in digestion and aids in fat oxidation). But caution should be taken that as it contains "tannins" the enemy of iron and folate.... watch for them and do not club your meals and green tea together..... a gap of 30 minutes will help.

So guys watch what we are drinking.... is it a can of calories or a sip of optimal health...
