Detox with Green Tea.

With the recent festivities and today’s fast paced lifestyles we are all indulging in rich processed foods,eating too much fast food and living  very hectic stress full lives.We eat at odd times, sleep less, exercise less and consume too much caffeine. All these habits have a detrimental effect on our bodies.These bad habits break the body's natural power to combat illness as we introduce more harmful toxins into our body bringing on diseases as well as illnesses. Many people on realisation and guilt of over indulgence binge diet after festivities. These are short lived and rarely successful. The only way to help our bodies to detox is by cutting out fat and over processed food, cutting out ready meals and introduce a well balanced healthy diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, carbohydrates and proteins.

Cutting out caffeine is a major part of this detox. A good way to do this is to introduce our bodies to healthy drinks such as green tea and fruit teas. There are many benefits of drinking Green Tea . Green teas are made solely from the leaves of Camellia sinensis that have undergone minimal oxidation during processing. Green tea originates from China and has become associated with many cultures throughout Asia. Green tea is processed and grown in a variety of ways, depending on the type of green tea desired. As a result of these methods, maximum amounts of polyphenols and antioxidants are retained, giving maximum green tea benefits.

Twining  have introduced green tea to the western world. At their Tea Shop there is  a vast selection of aromatic flavours, there is a taste to suit each individual palate . You can find flavours such as green tea with cranberry, ginger, blackberry and raspberry, pineapple, mango and many more. All these teas are refreshing, healthy and perfect to start your Detox. Furthermore at only £ 1.39 for a box of 20 teabags they are not only delicious, but amazingly good value for money too. Just think this is 20 cups of flavour some tea  at only 7 pence a cup!!!!

Being spoilt for choice you are not sure which tea  flavour to purchase??? Don't worry Twining’s will also send you free samples of this wonderful tea to try it out.. To get your free samples visit here. (Tea samples available in UK only)

My ideal way to enjoy  the tea I found is to choose your flavour, add the teabag to your favorite mug,  top it with hot water. Leave for 2-3 miutes after which discard the tea bag  and add a squirt of runny honey just to sweeten it slightly and finally ............Enjoy and be assured that you are helping your body and  protecting it  from all these conditions:

• Cut stroke by up to 80%
