What is Green Tea? 

It is a Green Tea week.

Green tea is fashion, green tea is lifestyle, green tea is diet and green tea is golden health. It has a light green appearance. Also it not only tastes light but on drinking makes us feel more lighter. Even it is considered the most healthy beverage of the world. But dear readers if we step more deeper into the actual meaning of what green tea is, then here it is.

Green tea is actually the normal black tea drunk all over the world, but the only difference that makes the green tea we all love is that green tea leaves do not undergo oxidation or undergo minimum oixidation before the leaves are heated and dried. 

The variety of tea plant and how the tea leaves are processed exactly defines what is green tea and what is black tea. 

Let us get little more deeper into the meaning of green tea.

For green tea, tea leaves are harvested and immediately heated or steamed to avoid oxidation and then dried. For black tea, tea leaves are harvested and allowed to fully oxidise before heating and drying. 

What does the oxidation do to the tea leaves?

During oxidation oxygen interacts with the tea plant's cell walls, turning the leaves into the dark brown to black color that black tea is famous for, and significantly alters their flavour profile. 

The light, grassy and the fresh picked flavor and the good health effect of green tea is only because of the fact that their leaves undergone only negligible oxidation. 

Dear readers, I hope I was able to  give you an almost clear picture of what green tea is. I myself was very eager to know about it. But there are even more amazing and important features of green tea that we must know. 

Do not miss to catch  more amazing facts about green tea in our next post guys.

Happy New Year - 2016 Welcomed With Great Happiness!

We the people around the world, some of us say, why should we wait for an occasion like a new year to be happy and celebrate, and some of us are not even able to manage time on the new year or some of us just wait for such festivals to be happy and enjoy. And I, one just like you, would like to give you a good news about the "being happy" thing that simply being happy would get us ride of many illnesses, scientifically proven. So friends, before the new year just arrives at our day just after few hours, let us have a quick look on the miracle benefits on health of being happy : 

  

1. A lower heart rate.
2. Lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol. 
3. The happiness attained by a hug from a loved one can fight off viruses such as the ones causing common colds. 
4. The following personality features avoid or successfully manage the illnesses such as diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, chronic pain and depression :

•  Enthusiasm and engagement - reduce the risk of coronary heart diseases.
• Optimism - a belief that good things will happen.
• Having a supportive network of family and friends.
• Self - regulation - choosing healthy behaviors, such as choosing cycling over eating fast food.
• Happy people are less likely to get sick.
• When exposed to the viruses that cause colds and flu, people with a more positive outlook not only get sick often, but recover faster.
• People who are happy because they feel their lives have meaning and purpose ( the helped out a friend in need, for example ) experience healthy changes at the cellular level. But happy people living  a purposeless life have the same gene expression pattern as those who are chronically distressed. 
• People who regularly experience feeling awe have lower levels of the pro - inflammatory cytokines that are markers of many diseases. 
• Among older people, optimists have a lower risk of heart diseases than do pessimists, because optimists are better  able to negotiate life's stressors without becoming irritated.
• 30 studies found that happiness adds severalyears to a person's life. 
• People who feel happy and satisfied with life , and who have a sense of purpose  live longer than people who do not have these feelings. 
• Having regular contact with 10 or more friends significantly increases your happiness and lengthens your life. 

 As we have came to know about the above ''happiness'' things, so friends why do not we make "being happy" our New Year resolution, for not only this year but also for the next many coming years all through our life and resolute to make a happy change n our  life. As we have reason to be happy now, so why not!
