FAIRFIELD, CT, Mar 11 (MARKET WIRE) --
This March, integrate a new component into your day: a cup of Bigelow(R) Green
Tea
(www.bigelowtea.com). As the designated month for celebrating nutrition and the
annual host of St. Patrick's Day, March is the perfect time to reap the health
benefitsof this 5,000-year-old green beverage.
According to a study conducted by researchers at the University of
Arizona, green tea increases the production of enzymes that are crucial in
helping the body defend itself against toxic and cancer-causing compounds; this,
in turn, helps to reduce the free radical damage that is often correlated with
certain cancers and cardiovascular diseases. In addition, a recent study
published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, provides
substantiation that postmenopausal women diagnosed with breast cancer who keep
their diets rich in flavonoids, a type of antioxidant found in green tea,
maybe less at risk for mortality.
So, this month, indulge your senses healthily with a bit of green tea. Visit
Bigelow Tea's website for an array of Green Tea varieties. Choose from all
natural flavors including mint, chai, pomegranate, mango, lemon, peach, jasmine
