I swear that I am not becoming a medical journal. But I do sell and promote tea, and one of the bigger reasons for me (besides it being delicious), is that it is remarkably good for you and promotes a healthy lifestyle. We in the 'west' are just beginning to realize and recognize the immense benefits of tea, where in China it has been renowned for a few thousand years for its medicinal properties and is part of a preventative lifestyle known as "life where you consume things that benefit your body and don't work against it"
Here are some excerpts from an article I was reading:
"A new study, published online in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals how substances found in tea may help prime the body's immune system to fight off infection. Another report shows how substances in green tea may be linked to skin-cell rejuvenation.
"This latest study shows how chemicals—known as alkylamines—which are commonly present in tea (as well as wine, apples, mushrooms, and other sources), are also present in some bacteria, cancerous cells, parasites, fungi, and other disease-causing agents.
Drinking tea may be able to prime the body's immune system against these agents, by teaching disease-fighter immune cells to recognize and remember alkylamines.
"We found that…alkylamines made by bacteria were recognized by the immune system, and wondered where else in nature they occurred," said study co-author Jack F. Bukowski, immunologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. A quick scan of the literature confirmed that the chemicals were commonly present in tea.
And if you can't get peoples attention from this remarkable information, just tell them it also helps them lose weight (it really does). That always works.Also, another great fair trade organic green tea- Green Tea Mint. Also great iced. Very refreshing. We sell it by the 1/4 pound. We'll also sell you 20 pounds. Whatever you like.
