Cleanse body and mind with a cup of green tea. Bursting with the antioxidants theaflavins and thearubigens, which are converted from super nutrient epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) present in green tea, a cup of herbal tea has shown to have heart-protecting effects as well as improvements to the waistline.

Tip: All green teas should be made with water that's hot, not boiling, and left to infuse for only 2 to 3 minutes before serving. Banish any remaining bitterness by adding a little honey.

With many brands now available at your local supermarket you have no excuses.
