Tea Talk

How many of you are fans of a show called Downton Abbey? It's one of my favorite shows. Even my husband enjoys it. If you aren't familiar with it, it's set in England at the turn of the century.

I really enjoy reading the new tea studies that keep coming out and how beneficial tea is for us. I came across this article about a study on green tea from Ohio State University. It ties in perfectly with my first newsletter this year about the benefits of drinking green tea. The article isn’t super technical, so I’m going to share it with you, hoping that it will encourage you to drink more green tea regardless of where you are in your health journey. New research in people with a cluster of heart disease risk factors has shown that consuming...

Wow, can you believe it's already the third week of January? This month, I've been talking about teas to start the New Year with. I've introduced you to the Organic Fit Body Green Tea for physical fitness. I've also written about Dessert Teas to calm your sweet tooth and help you drop those pesky holiday pounds. Now I want to talk a little about teas that just scream self-care to me. The holidays, both pre and post, can be stressful. I know I was constantly on the go between my personal and professional life. It's time to do some self-care....
