Green Tea Benefits Cut Death Risk

The bottom lione is that drinking green tea daily is one of the best health habits you can adopt.

Studies have shown that regular consumption can improve the ratio between 'good' and 'bad' cholesterol, ease mild depression, help prevent diabetes and more.

One of the most encouraging recent studies, published in the September 13, 2006 Journal of the American Medical Association, found that among 40,530 Japanese adults followed for 11 years, there was a 16 percent lower risk of death from all causes among those who drank more than 5 cups of green tea a day compared to those who drank less than one cup daily.
