Green tea is highly regarded by many people today as a “healthy” drink. Today’s generation of people have realized the folly of living purely for pleasure and have learned that the cost of some types of pleasure can be too high. Sure, some foods taste great because of chemical additives, but these foods can be deadly too. As an effect of this, many more manufacturers are turning to well-known healthy foods and beverages to appease the demand of the people. Many companies today promote green tea. They try to sell their products by showing people the various effects of green tea for the body and soul.
Many people think that the term “green tea” refers to a single type of tea. However, there are a lot of different varieties of green tea available today. There are, of course, the classifications of Chinese and Japanese green teas to consider. The two “nationalities” of the green tea also have their own sub-classifications. However, that’s another story for another time.
Now, we are discussing the benefits of green tea for the body and soul. And here are some of them.
Chinese and Japanese people have known about the benefits of drinking green tea for the body and soul for a long time. This can be evident in some of their philosophical sayings concerning tea.
One of these sayings is: “the first sip is joy, the second is gladness, the third is serenity, the fourth is madness and the fifth is ecstasy.”
The high regard of Orientals for the green tea is not only because of the fact that it is loaded with antioxidants and thus, good for the body. The high regard that people today have for green tea is because of the effects that it has on one’s soul. Each sip of green tea has a calming effect on people. It enables poets to write verses. It helps philosophers gain new insights into life. Although various medical bodies may deny the effect of green tea on the body and soul, thousands upon thousands of generations of Chinese and Japanese will still attest to the fact that green tea helps.
The effects of green tea and soul have been denied by some as the effect of a placebo. However, studies have also shown that people who do drink green tea have less risk of getting cardiovascular diseases. The antioxidants found in green tea also have the effect of fighting aging. One of the effects of green tea for the body and soul is that it could act as a virtual fountain of youth. You might not live forever, but you will live pretty damn long.
