16th July, 2008: Like Popeye’s Spinach…Green Tea is “Power-Packed”
Perhaps Popeye should have turned to green tea instead of spinach for his super strength. As reported in AARP, tea (green and white) is considered a Superfood. What this means, according to Toni Bark, M.D., medical director at the Center for Disease Prevention and Reversal in Evanston, IL, is that it is “power-packed” with nutrients that will help your body ward off infections. He goes on to add “Your body will absorb vitamins better through food than through supplements.”
In addition to green and white tea, Dr. Bark’s list of Superfoods includes Asian mushrooms (shitake and maitake), dark chocolate, garlic, red meat, sweet potatoes, salmon, red and blue berries, and soybeans.
What would Olive Oyl say? More “super” news for tea fans…
