Green Tea According to Dan Buettner

Seven cups is ideal, but three cups of green tea a day is associated with about four additional years of healthy life expectancy, and we don't know why, it's probably the antioxidants or the catechins. It's probably the 1,500 compounds in green tea, we don't know for sure. But green teas have been around for a long time and are consumed daily in volume by at least two of these Blue Zones. Why not drink what we learn from our ancestors who achieved the results we want, which is a long, healthy life?
