THE CUP THAT CHEERS – ALSO CURES

From the dawn of tea drinking, the brew has been acclaimed as a divine remedy for various ailments.

The Chinese used green tea to treat rheumatism, stimulate blood circulation, cure colds, digestive and liver problems. In paste form it was applied externally to heal wounds and skin tumors.

Tea has a refreshing effect and relaxes the nerves. The caffeine in tea increases alertness and a capacity for sustained intellectual effort apart from inducing a more rapid and clear flow of thought and a more perfect association of ideas. Caffeine also reduces drowsiness and fatigue.

Tea also contains appreciable amounts of vitamin ‘E’ and ‘K’. The fluoride content of tea has shown to be effective in preventing dental cavities.

Tea can assist in reducing weight, lowering cholesterol, preventing coronary heart diseases, resisting cancer and reducing hypertension.

7 words WOMEN use...

FINE
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

FIVE MINUTES
If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

NOTHING
This is the calm before the storm. This means 'something,' and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually end in 'Fine'.

GO AHEAD
This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.

LOUD SIGH
This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A 'Loud Sigh' means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over 'Nothing'.

THAT'S OKAY
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. 'That's Okay' means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

THANKS
A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say you're welcome.

WHATEVER
It's a woman's way of saying *!#@ You.
