Brooke Davis, whoops I mean Showalter

Okay so the title of this blog was supposed to be a joke that now is just screaming at me that it is not funny. But I think that's funny, so I'm leaving it.

Anyway.

TEA.

Green tea may help to lower your cholesterol, reduce the risk of heart attack and help with blood vessel function. Tea may help the immune system fight viral and bacterial infections. It can be an effective weapon in the fight against diabetes and may help strengthen bones. For more information, check here.

You can also go here for some great teas you can buy and also for some interesting facts and tips!

Also, Brooke bought a book and it says that tea (esp green tea) is full of antioxidants that help prevent cancer, aid in digestion, and its an appetite suppressant-- all good things.


I also added some more Eco-Friendly links to my sidebar! My favorites are:

EatWellGuide, which is a site that tells you where you can find a local farm or food market that only sells food that came from a farm that is healthy, does not harm the environment, respects workers, is humane to animals, provides a fair wage to the farmer, and supports farming communities. Characteristics of this type of agriculture include: conservation and preservation, biodiversity, animal welfare, economic viability and socially just. It has farms who are humane to animals (cage free chickens, etc) for those of you who eat meat and also farms that have the best environmentally friendly and organic produce for those of you who don't eat meat!

BeGreenNow, which educates you about your carbon footprint and how you can help reduce it. It also gives you lists and links of different products and companies who are eco-friendly.

GreenGOP is a site for Republican environmentalists - yes they DO exist! Haha, that was a joke. Love it. Anyway, it's just interesting.



SO, check out the links and drink some tea!!
