Green Tea: Good Health in Your Cup (Nature's Remedies) Book

There can be few people who don't enjoy a good old fashioned cup of tea every now and again, so finding out that one of life's little pleasures can actually be rather good for you is a real bonus. In Green Tea Diana Rosen looks at the history of tea, examining how, for centuries, the Chinese extolled its virtues and hailed its health-giving properties. Scientific research now corroborates this, and green tea in particular is proven to be rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, glycosides, vitamins and minerals. Rosen describes how to select the best green tea, how to store and prepare special brews, how to make the most out of the drink with special recipes with particular health and beauty-enhancing qualities and even ways of using it in cooking. The taste of green tea might take a little getting used to if your current brew is the classic tea bag variety with perhaps a dash of Earl Grey on special occasions, but it is certainly worth persevering. After all, the promise of a simple drink that can help prevent infection, fight off viral attacks, lower the chances of heart disease and cancers, strengthen your bones and slow down the ageing process should never be sniffed at.--Susan HarrisonRead More
