What you don’t know about green tea

April 10, 2008 By: Vilma Perez Category: Nutrition, Precision Nutrition 4 Comments →

I just received an email from John Berardi and it has to do with Green Tea, which is by far one of my FAVORITE drinks - cold or hot!  I thought I would share it with my readers because it has some very useful and insightful tips that i’m sure you all can use! 

Enjoy!!!

=================

From the desk of Dr. Berardi:

Nowadays, pretty much everyone has accepted that tea (especially the green kind) offers some tremendous health benefits including:

  • Anti-cancer properties
  • Improved cardiovascular health
  • Metabolism boosting properties
  • And more…

However, not everyone knows the other important stuff - such as:

  1. Green vs. Black vs. White
    What’s the difference between black, white, green, and herbal.  And how these differences can impact your body.
  2. EGCG and Antioxidants
    How tea does its magic in your body, including how this EGCG stuff you hear so much about really works.
  3. Milk and Tea
    How adding milk to tea might actually ruin its health benefits!
  4. Loose vs. bags
    How to choose between loose leaf tea and tea bags. Green tea is not green tea.
  5. Tea vs. Supplements
    Which is better and what to be careful with.
  6. Tea and Taste
    How to use tea as a recipe ingredient vs. just drinking it hot.

In the end, unless you’re already a tea connoisseur, I guarantee you’ll learn something new in this week’s update.

So…. go check it out!!!!
