Get Radical With Green Tea
Bigelow Tea Spotlights the Health Benefits of Green Tea This March in Celebration of National Nutrition Month
FAIRFIELD, CT--(Marketwire - March 11, 2008) - This March, integrate a new component into
your day: a cup of Bigelow® Green
Tea (www.bigelowtea.com). As the designated month for celebrating
nutrition and the annual host of St. Patrick's Day, March is the perfect
time to reap the health benefits
of this
5,000-year-old green beverage.
According to a study conducted by researchers at the University of Arizona, green tea increases the
production of enzymes that are crucial in helping the body defend itself
against toxic and cancer-causing compounds; this, in turn, helps to reduce
the free radical damage that is
often correlated with certain cancers and cardiovascular diseases. In
addition, a recent study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers &
Prevention, provides substantiation that postmenopausal women diagnosed
with breast cancer who keep their diets rich in flavonoids, a type of antioxidant found in green tea, may
be less at risk for mortality.
So, this month, indulge your senses healthily with a bit of green tea.
Visit Bigelow Tea's website for an array of Green Tea varieties. Choose
from all natural flavors including mint, chai, pomegranate, mango, lemon,
peach, jasmine and blueberry. Or, go for the original 100% certified
organic Bigelow® Green Tea. Simply linger over a cup and you will see why
Bigelow teas are like no other.

your choice, check out Bigelow Tea's website. While visiting, be sure to
