• Increases focus without the spike and crash in energy often caused by coffee.
• Antioxidant-rich
• Improves digestive health.
• Does not affect sleep or cause nervousness like coffee can, due to lower caffeine content and the presence of the soothing, calming neurotransmitter, Theanine
• Acts as an anti-microbial in the body, fighting bad bacteria/viruses
• Improves immunity.
• Alkalizes the body.
• Boosts metabolism.
Green tea is also rich in a group of chemicals, called catechin polyphenols -These catechin polyphenols include catechin, epicatechin, epicatechin gallate (ECG), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and various pro-anthocyanidins. They are also known as flavonoids and are very powerful antioxidants. Reduction of oxidative stress in the body is essential for maintaining vitality and a healthy immune system.
When you are under stress or recurring environmental pressure, it is important that you take herbs such as green tea to combat the effects. For this reason Green tea is wonderful for giving you mental clarity, as well as refreshing, revitalizing and helping you to maintaining an optimal immune system.
Umeboshi Plum

Secret Strengthener of the Samurai!
Salty, slightly sweet, and VERY sour! Umebosh plum is not for the faint of heart. When you first bite in it may taste sweet but very quickly, the sour takes over- so BUCKLE UP.
Its restorative powers are due at least in part to the fact it is rich in the electrolytes sodium and potassium, which help fight fatigue, nausea and dizziness.
Worn out after your workout? With its ability in helping to break down and flush out lactic acid, one of the causes of physical fatigue you cant go wrong reaching for an Umeboshi plum.
Other great benefits noted about Umeboshi are the following
• beneficial for nausea
• motion sickness
• diarrhea
• constipation
• improving circulation
• boosting the immune system.
Culturally in Japan it is said that an Umeboshi a day keeps the doctor away.
Anything that can bring the Samurai back to life must have great benefit

All the best in health and a full life!
