Green tea is one of my favorite drinks.  It is the least processed of the teas (oolong and black).  It contains the highest level of polyphenols.  My favorites are TAZO or Yogi.

Why is that good?  Polyphenols occur in all plant foods.  Polyphenols antioxidants are known for their ability scavenge free radicals.  They have also been associated with reducing inflammation.  In a report from Science Daily, a study found evidence that polyphenols protect nerves from the kind of damage that occurs in AD and other chronic brain disorders.

So go brew yourself some green tea or have it over ice!
