Green Tea?

 I have recently become a massive fan of green tea! I started my health kick around two weeks ago now, and on my journey, i've managed to adopt green tea too. I found it so hard to get into drinking it for the first 2-3 days, as the taste really is as vile as everyone thinks it is. But I now try to drink at least two cups of the stuff a day. I can't get over the amount of flavours and brands available, though I had never even looked in the green tea section before.

I have been absolutely loving the PG tips version of lemon flavoured green tea. It smells incredibly lemony, but it's a shame it doesn't actually taste of it. It's the only one I have tried at the minute, as my dad only just bought me the Knightsbridge version. He also picked up the plain green tea too, which i'm a bit unsure about, since theres not much taste with the added lemon to begin with. 

So lets see why green tea is a definite YES!

• It helps speed up your metabolism and energy levels
• Not to mention it helps to clear up your skin
• Helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels 
• Studies have shown it helps to prevent cancer and arthritis
• It raises your immunity to common illnesses 
• It also helps to fight allergies
• Helps lower blood sugar levels to protect from diabetes 

Need I go on?

I think this is such a must for us all, regardless of whether or not you are trying to lose weight or tone up for the summer. All of the benefits involved should be enough to push you to try it, and you wont be disappointed with the results either!
