7 Reasons to Drink Green Tea

+ CUT YOUR CANCER RISK
Studies have found that people who regularly drink green tea reduce their risk of breast, stomach, esophagus, colon, and/or prostate cancer.

+ SOOTHE YOUR SKIN
The tea is a natural antiseptic that relieves itching and swelling. Try it on inflamed breakouts and blemishes, sunburns, even puffy eyelids.

+ PROTECT YOUR SKIN
Green tea applied directly to the skin helps block sun-triggered skin cancer.


+ STEADY YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
People who sip just half a cup a day are almost 50 percent less likely to wind up with hypertension than non-drinkers.

+ PROTECT YOUR MEMORY, OR YOUR MOM'S
Green tea's big dose of antioxidants fights the free-radical damage to brain nerves seen in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

+ STAY YOUNG
About 10 ounces of green tea a day will deter your body from absorbing artery-clogging fat and cholesterol. A healthy body leads to a healthy life.

+ LOSE WEIGHT
Green tea speeds up the body's calorie-burning process.
