More tea!

I guess I am doing something right as far as my health goes. I am a big green/Jasmine tea fan. I drink at least 3-4 cups a day. This makes me feel so much better :)

Of course, I am willing to do anything for health that doesn't involve me doing something physically difficult, like getting up off of my butt and working out for a change ;)

Study: Tea Boosts the Body's Defenses

WASHINGTON (AP) - An ordinary cup of tea may be a powerful infection fighter, a study suggests. Researchers report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that they have found in tea a chemical that boosts the body's defense fivefold against disease.

They said the chemical primes immune system cells to attack bacteria, viruses and fungi and could, perhaps, be turned into a disease-fighting drug someday.
