I am a true believer/lover of green tea! I feel so clean and rejuvenated once I drink it. Not to mention the healthy surge of energy I get right after a finish the refreshing glass.
Recently I discovered that green tea could actually decrease a person’s chance of heart disease and the chance of contracting certain cancers. Why do people still not drink this stuff? Yah, I know some people don’t like the taste, and that’s cool. But they have thought of that already and now make flavored green teas…so good! Not only does it help you with your health, it is an antioxidant. I know for sure I could use some antioxidants in my body just like the rest of us!
Green tea does contain less caffeine then coffee. But does contain two substances that are alike caffeine. One of the substances, theophylline, is stronger then caffeine. And the other substance, theobromine, is weaker then caffeine. But all those combined makes for a longer and healthier energy surge then coffee. You don’t fall as much as you do for coffee. Because the second you finish off your caffeine trip from coffee you feel like crap and then need more coffee. But green tea sticks with you the whole way!! Hehe
I just realized that totally sounded like an advertisement for green tea. I really didn’t mean for it to be. I was just enjoying my glass of green tea and decided to write about it.
