Green Tea Fends Against Eye Disease!

Posted by erintm

THIS JUST IN - Green Tea has your back (and eyes) covered! We’ve known for some time that Green Tea can have an amazing effect on your body. Sipping on this delightful and relaxing concoction has not only been shown to speed up weight loss, reduce blood pressure and fend against heart disease, but, according to new findings from the American Chemical Society, it may also help fight against Glaucoma and other eye related diseases!

Up until now, we haven’t been sure whether our eyes are actually able to absorb the powerful disease fighting anti-oxidants, called catechins, found in Green Tea. But, thanks to this study, there’s hope for us yet! According to Dr. Chi Pui Pang, of the Hong Kong Eye Hospital, “Analysis of eye tissues showed beyond a doubt that eye structures absorbed significant amounts of individual catechins.”

So there you have it folks! Just remember this the next time you find yourself munching away on your favorite chow mein or spicy tuna roll… and make sure your washing it down with a delightful cup of Green Tea!
