The Original Ceylon Tea Company Introduces: 3 Delicious New Ways to Savor the Health Benefits of Green Tea
The fact that green tea provides fabulous health properties is undisputed.
But, when it comes to taste, it's simply not everyone's cup of tea.The Original Ceylon Tea Company is out to change all that with the introduction of its Green Line?three pure, high mountain-grown green teas from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) featuring natural Lemon, Raspberry and Jasmine flavoring."Green tea is such a healthy drink," says The Original Ceylon Tea Company president Kit Riley, "but not everyone loves the flavor.
With our Green Line, we're going to give them 3 reasons to love drinking green tea and they'll get the health benefits as an added bonus."What makes green tea such a powerful addition to healthy lifestyles is that it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).
EGCG is a powerful antioxidant that provides health benefits beyond the ability to neutralize free radicals.
It is also shown to limit cancer tumor growth, inhibit cancer cell development, lower LDL or bad cholesterol, and fight the creation of blood clots.So-called "carb avoids" that are living the low carbohydrate craze through diets like Atkins? or South Beach? will be pleased to find that the B vitamin complex in green tea aids in carbohydrate metabolism and, of course, the tea contains no carbohydrates.A study by the American Cancer Society reports that green tea, in drink form, may help prevent skin cancer.
Other medical conditions for which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful include rheumatoid arthritis, weight management, cardiovascular disease, infection, and impaired immune function.The new Green Line from The Original Ceylon Tea Company will make its American debut in Albertson's Stores throughout Colorado, before rolling out nationally.
The line will also appear soon at Whole Foods Markets, Central Markets, Fiesta Stores and more.If you can't wait for the Green Line teas to arrive at a grocer in your area, you can order online through the company's website at www.ceylon-tea.com or at Amazon.com..
Understanding your Metabolism
Our metabolic rate determines the rate at which we ?burn up' our food, and by increasing this rate, we can lose weight more quickly, easily, and safely.
When we diet, by decreasing our calorie intake too drastically, we cause our metabolism to slow down, making it progressively more difficult for us to lose weight. Most diets fail, yet we continue to try one after another, always hoping that each new regime will provide the ?magic' solution. If this sounds like your problem, there may be a simple answer. Let's look at why most diets fail, and how strength training, combined with a healthy food intake can speed up your metabolism, making it easy for you to lose weight.
By drastically cutting our food intake, our body's natural instinct is to switch to a ?starvation response.' The fewer calories we consume, the more our bodies become efficient at using these calories - leading to slower weight loss. This was once a useful mechanism for our ancestors...

What Is the Glycemic Index?
The Glycemic Index (GI) is a way of rating carbohydrate foods according to how quickly the carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, and thus how quickly that glucose enters the bloodstream. The reasoning behind this is that carbohydrates that enter the bloodstream quickly raise blood sugar levels rapidly, causing a spike in energy, that is followed by a drop after the effects of insulin are triggered.
Insulin is one of the hormones that help regulate blood sugar levels, and tries to keep them stable. When too much glucose enters the bloodstream at a time, the body reacts by releasing insulin to remove some of that glucose back out of the blood and into our cells. Its simply a way of keeping the balance.
However the effect is that when all the glucose we just ate, in the form of carbohydrates, is removed from the bloodstream, we feel tired and hungry, often craving more carbohydrates. Thus a cycle is created, where we eat more than really necessary.

2003. All rights reserved If you've ever been on a diet you know the feeling of irritability that sets in after a few days. Nutrition experts have attributed this feeling to a physical state of deprivation, such as low blood sugar or dehydration.
While these conditions do have a definite effect on mood, they don't tell the whole story. Consider the fact that you are not ALWAYS crabby when hungry or thirsty, even though your body may be in a state of deprivation. Diet-related crabbiness stems not just from your body's physical state, but also from mental...
