Shinzo Japanese Green Tea


Green tea is an antioxidant and super food linked to many health benefits, such as:

		Inhibiting cancer cell growth
		Weight loss
		Lowering risk of heart disease and stroke
		Reducing cholesterol & high blood pressure
		Anti-stress
		Helping the prevention of gum disease and reducing cavities

Drinking tea before you exercise gives an antioxidant boost, preparing your body to handle the free radicals generated by exercise. It also contains antioxidants that are twenty times more effective than vitamins C and E.
Green tea Diet:
The green tea diet is not the principle of a liquid only diet where all that you drink is green tea. It is about supplimenting your diet with a sufficient amount of green tea to help your body gain the maximum benefits from it. Green tea has been linked with raising the metabolic rate and also speeding up fat oxidation.
Skin Care:
Aside from using the brewed leaves as a gentle exfoliant, green tea has long been used as a herbal treatment for acne. It can also be used to make cheap alternatives to often expensive toners.

Although harvested from the same Camellia Sinensis plant as typical black tea, Japanese green tea is steamed to prevent oxidation and therefore the leaves remain green in colour. It is this process which helps green tea to retain many of its natural antioxidant, antibacterial & antiviral qualities.
