"Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis
on which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly, without
rushing toward the future. Live the actual moment.
Only this moment is life." --Thich Nat Hahn
Tea Time
Scientists already knew green tea plays a role in preventing cancer, but now they know why: EGCG, or Epigallocatechin gallate. EGCG works in precisely the same way as the chemotherapy drug methotrexate: Both hinder the action of an enzyme that incites cells to divide. Since EGCG causes less damage to healthy cells than chemotherapy, it could become a promising cancer treatment.
BE THE CHANGE
Take a tea break.
