The benefits of
green tea just keep brewing. Besides offering protection from many
types of cancer, recent studies show daily consumption of green tea
may reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease and cut the chance of a
heart attack nearly in half. It can make you look and feel better,
too! It's been shown to reduce allergy symptoms, fight cavities,
improve skin, and may even help to boost metabolism and fat-burning.
And here's a real eye-opener—when you're done sipping, use the tea
bags to reduce bags and puffiness under the eyes. Just chill the tea
bags after brewing.* When the bags are cool, lie down and place them
on your undereye area for 10 minutes. Watkins offers three varieties
of pure, natural green tea—Premium, Vanilla and Mint &
Lemongrass—packaged in a decorative "TheraTea" tin that
will look great in your home and will make a thoughtful and
"green" St. Patrick's Day gift. Next week find out how green
tea can help reduce the signs of aging!
*Use unflavored
green tea, such as Watkins Premium TheraTea, for application on undereye
area.
