Green Tea Boosts Life Expectancy

Increasing your chances of living longer may be no harder than drinking a cup of green tea. Research in Japan published in the Journal of the American Medical Association has found that people who drink green tea have increased life expectancy compared to non-drinkers. In a study of more than 40,000 people, scientists found that those who indulged in green tea had a lower death rate and a lower rate of heart disease.
Women who had five or more cups of tea per day reduced their risk of death from cardiovascular disease by more than 30 percent.

“Women who had five or more cups of tea per day reduced their risk of death from cardiovascular disease by more than 30 percent.” We’ve heard about the benefits of green tea for years. I want those benefits but I know I am not EVER going to drink 5 or more cups of tea per day, therefore I chose to supplement daily with a high quality, standardized green tea extract. I think most people don’t realize that for the best results with all these nutrient wonders we hear about, you need consistent, good levels of them. An occasional cup of green tea is fine, but the desired, wonder-working molecules won’t be available all day every day with sporadic intake. The only way around this is to supplement.
