Have a Green-Tea Party
Green tea: It's sweet, subtle, and refreshing, as well as great for your health. The tasty tea is chock-full of antioxidants. Incorporate the ancient, meditative Chinese tradition of tea-brewing into your life, and take time to breathe and relax as your tea brews in hot water, adding lemon for zest. Or make iced green tea using filtered water, just as you would prepare regular iced tea. If you purchase a bottle of brewed tea, make sure it is not "green-tea flavored" and full of sugar and carbs, but that it is naturally brewed. Cool, hot, frozen, or flavored: Whatever way you take your green tea helps your health, so add this tasty drink to your diet today.

Some experts suggest drinking up to five cups of green tea per day to reap its full health benefits. But be warned: Although it contains a lower amount than coffee, green tea still contains caffeine. So drink your tea early in the day, and watch your intake if you start feeling unnaturally buzzed.
