Maximize Your Cup Of Green Tea 

Want to lose weight or boost your immune system?  Drink green tea.  Consuming at least 3 cups a day offers a host of benefits:

• Reduces cholesterol
• Fights heart disease
• Activates fat-burning genes
• Protects against tooth decay
• Balances blood sugar levels
• Fights various forms of cancer
• Reduces wrinkling and skin damage
• Delays deterioration from Alzheimer's

For maximum benefits and taste, go for organic loose leaf tea, use boiling water and steep for 2 to 5 minutes.  If you use a tea bag, squeeze it after steeping to release more catechins (those health-promoting antioxidants).

Extra tip: Bottled and flavored green tea have lower levels of catechins and are less potent.
