I love green tea. I don't need sugar or cream in this tea when I drink it. Green tea is no longer stuck in the cabinets of Asian Food stores and restaurants, but available on your grocer's shelf. Green tea is known to be high in antioxidants. What is an antioxidant? It is a compound that binds with free radicals (usually oxygen) in our bodies and removes them, allowing the cells in the body to heal damage faster. I drink green tea regularly, but drink a lot more of it when I have a head cold. Why? The steam from a hot tea soothes my throat and helps break up the crud lodged in the nasal cavity so you can breathe easier. The added benefit is the antioxidant from the damage the virus causes. Here is a short video about green tea!
