You have to perceive it –a steaming, fragrant cup of green tea. The clear, pale green liquid gives off a savory aroma somewhat like wet hay mixed with the fragrance of apples or pears. You lift the cup to your lips and take the first drop. The comforting liquid rolls in preeminence of your tongue and eases down your throat, brightening and warming as it goes. Its scant astringency freshens your mouth, manufacture it imagine naturally clean.
This warm, delicate beverage is soothing, especially if you take a moment to sit and sip it slowly. But at the same time, it's also stimulating, giving you a much needed pick-me-up in the morning or the mid of the interminable afternoon. Is it any marvel that tea has been enjoyed for almost 5,000 years – and that it's the world's most widely consumed beverage, next to water?
However green tea is a lot more than just a delicious and satisfying drink -- it also has medicinal properties that are nothing short of shocking. Way back in the year 1211 the Japanese monk Eisai wrote that "Tea is a miraculous medicine for the preservation of health. Tea has an unsurpassed power to prolong life."
And today, scientists are claiming that what Eisai said may be true, finding that green tea can boost the immune system, inhibit the cancer process at virtually every stage, regulate cholesterol levels, assist in weight loss, fight free radical damage, and ward off viruses, fungi and food-borne bacteria. It also helps inhibit dental plaque formation, lower the risk of type 2 diabetes, ease cognitive decline, and may even help increase the lifespan. Substantially no option substance on earth can claim such a wide range of health benefits!
