Green tea reduces pneumonia risk
Folks, it's getting to the point where even I'm having trouble keeping up with all the research results coming out about the health benefits of green tea.
Here's another one:
Drinking as little as one cup or less of green tea per day was associated with 41 percent less risk of dying from pneumonia among Japanese women, the investigators found.
The findings, they say, "support the possibility" that green tea contains compounds capable of destroying or inhibiting the growth of viruses and microorganisms.

Not to tempt fate but.. I just don't get ill. I thought it was being vegetarian but maybe it is the 1 - 2 big pots of green tea I get through a day?
While others around me get down and have colds and headaches and various ailments, some viral and passed around and some just related to life - I don't.
I wonder what/if other aspects of the women's diets also contributed to fighting off illness.
Also, have you read anything about green tea and skincare? I keep a small bottle of inexpensive green tea in the fridge to rinse my face at night. I have no idea if this is beneficial in any way, but it feels great!
I don't get colds or the flu much either. I still get allergies but they don't ruin my day like they did before I drank more tea. And it's not really a "possibility" but a reality that tea is antimicrobial/antibacterial. --Spirituality of Tea
