Tea one up for better immune function

My daughter and her design studio friends in college put in a lot of  late nights getting projects ready to turn in. In addition to consuming massive coffee, she and her fellow late nighters are drinking a lot of green tea as well. She buys the loose leaf stuff in the fancy store in the mall for God knows how much money.

But, with her crazy hours, lack of sleep many nights and other factors, I’m totally down with the green tea. Keep it going, I say. There are immune health benefits to be had. Some new data published last summer suggests green tea “appears to be a natural, plant-derived compound that can affect the number of regulatory T cells, and in the process improve immune function…” The research said the most  prominent, active compound in green tea, EGCG, likely provides these benefits without long-term toxicity or damaging underlying DNA in immune cells.

Fact: My daughter also takes EpiCor regularly.

Fact: She hasn’t had a sick day causing her to miss class during her two years in college to date.
