Green Tea is yet another easily prepared, inexspensive route to redirecting your eating habits. Perhaps a nice cup of Green Tea with your lunch or for dessert with a bowl of fresh berries.
Green and black teas both come from the same plant, Camellia sinensis. Black tea is made when the leaves are allowed to ferment. Green tea leaves are steamed or heated immediately after picking to prevent fermentation, and they contain more of the polyphenols than black tea.
Green tea is rich in antioxidants that may provide health benefits and is calorie free (unless you add lots of milk and sugar), so it frequently makes the cancer-preventing superfoods lists. Green tea contains antioxidants named catechins that may slow down the growth of cancer cells. Studies have shown catechins stop free radical damage to cells and reduce the amount and sizes of tumors.
