Green tea is the healthiest beverage on the planet. It is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that have powerful effects on the body. This includes improved brain function, fat loss, a lower risk of cancer and many other incredible benefits. It’s not often that something you love is also good for you. So brew up, and feel a little smug with each mug. Tea: your liquid asset Good health depends on having the right level of fluids, and most people need between 1.5 and 3 litres of fluids a day. In practice, that means we should aim to drink 6-8 cups a day, and the good news is that tea counts towards that total. (If you’re concerned about caffeine, you needn’t be – even 6 cups of tea a day would still mean moderate caffeine intake). So when something a little more inspiring than plain water is called for, just put the kettle on.
