Tea, Green
Green tea has gained great popularity in the U.S. in the last decade stemming from recent findings on its numerous healing properties.
In fact, studies have shown that enjoying 4 cups of tea a day can substantially lower your risk of heart disease and stroke. What's more, a meta-analysis of studies on green tea conducted at the University of Minnesota found that women drinking the most tea had a 22 percent lower risk of breast cancer.
Researchers credit powerful phenols, EGCG and other antioxidants in green tea for the healthy benefits.
