Energize and kick-start your metabolism

In a recent blog I spoke about the benefits of the fresh vegetable juice that I often drink.  Well I am also a huge fan of green tea.  Since I have cut coffee from my diet, I love drinking green tea for a quick energy boost.  A few weeks ago a friend of mine introduced me to an amazing green tea.  It is called DETOX green tea.  A Russian company called Kusmi makes DETOX.  Keep reading below because I want to tell you a few things about green tea and the company Kusmi that you may not already know.     

Kusmi is a 140-year-old Russian boutique teahouse that originated in 1867 in St Petersburg.  It was started by a family named Kousimichoff who moved Kusmi Tea to Paris in 1917.  Kusmi teas are blended with hints of citrus and flowers and are the favored tea by many connoisseurs.  Kusmi has recently opened their first New York flagship store on the Upper East Side and is also available at Zabars and Dean and Deluca. The DETOX green tea is a blend of Maté, Chinese Green Tea, and lemon grass full flavored with lemon.  It is a diuretic and has stimulating properties, which goes hand in hand with weight loss and detoxifying your body.  It tastes delicious sweetened and unsweetened.  What are you waiting for?  Go out and get it!

Health Benefits of Green Tea

Green Tea has been used as medicine for more than 4,000 years.  Studies have shown that Green tea’s health benefits consist of fighting cancer, heart disease, burning fat, preventing diabetes, stroke, and lowering cholesterol.  It also is best known for its large quantities of catechins.  Catechins are powerful source of antioxidants found in green tea. Antioxidants have been proven to slow down aging, which is why all women should be drinking green tea EVERYDAY.  You may also be surprised that green tea contains an anti-inflammatory property, which is useful in treating Rheumatoid arthritis.  This disease affects 1 in 100 people and women are 3 times as likely to be affected.  Studies have also shown that green tea prevents tooth decay and cures bad breath!  It is non-erosive and wards off mouth viruses.  Do I need any more evidence that green tea is a wise choice to add to your daily routine???

Go get yourself a box of Kusmi DETOX tea tomorrow, trust me you will love it!
