Your Aging Mentor Says… Two Words: Green Tea
Think Green Tea. It’s a great anti-oxidant, which means that it helps protect against cancer, heart attack, and stroke.
Only about 20% of the green tea that you drink is absorbed by the body. If you like citrus juice of any kind, in its pure and natural form, such as pure orange juice, lime juice, grapefruit juice, etc… don’t hesitate to mix it with your green tea. The citrus juice allows increased absorption of the anti-oxidant properties of green tea by over 5x versus drinking it plain.
Caution: If you take statin type drugs for cholesterol and tri-glyceride control, do not attempt to use grapefruit juice with your green tea. (You shouldn’t be drinking grapefruit or pineapple juice at all.)
