I have
written a number of times recently about the outstanding health
benefits of green tea, which has been shown to boost brain health,
increase metabolism, and reduce the risk of cancer and heart
disease. This prompted a reader from Australia to ask the following:
"I have
been told that there are very few (none, actually) active
ingredients in the green tea that we buy. That if we want the REAL
STUFF, it has to be vacuum-packed and on dry ice. Is this true?"
From
all the information I can find, this is NOT true. The green tea you
buy in the store does contain the polyphenols and flavonols that are
so beneficial to your health. However, green tea is particularly
susceptible to heat, oxygen, light, and moisture, so it should be
stored in a cool, airtight, and moisture-free environment to
maintain its freshness.
An
alternative is to take green tea extract. A quality extract offers a
convenient way to get a super-potent dose of green tea - either in
capsule form or as a liquid that can be mixed with spring water.
And, in fact, one study published in
The American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition suggests that you may absorb more antioxidants
from an extract than from a cup of tea.
Get
all the amazing benefits of green tea in a convenient daily capsule
and a super low price. Read more at
