drink green tea daily

[Brutus]

From Dr. Weil

It’s simple – drinking green tea daily is one of the best health habits you can adopt. Studies have shown that regular consumption can improve the ratio between “good” and “bad” cholesterol, ease mild depression, help prevent diabetes and more. One of the most encouraging recent studies, published in the September 13, 2006 Journal of the American Medical Association, found that among 40,530 Japanese adults followed for 11 years, there was a 16 percent lower risk of death from all causes among those who drank more than 5 cups of green tea a day compared to those who drank less than one cup daily.

But how should you take your tea? Green-tea extracts and capsules are flooding the market, and they may have some value, but scientific studies support the greater benefit of simply drinking green tea.

It's a find that could help explain why people who drink green tea are less likely to develop cancer. The finding by scientists at the University of Rochester's Environmental Health Science Center appears in the July 21 issue of Chemical Research in Toxicology, published by the American Chemical Society.
