Fight Cancer-Matcha green tea
This is a good matcha for the price. The best matcha can be much more expensive but well worth it, especially if you happen to study the Japanese tea ceremony or you are a tea connoisseur. If you do get this type of tea, it is wise to buy a proper bamboo whisk and sift it first, otherwise it can get lumpy. Making matcha the traditional way is well worth the effort and there is a lot to learn about it. Some say to master the tea ceremony can take years. Not to worry this is easier.
This tea is premium. Don't accept green tea in bags; it is less tasty and probably less healthy.
Here are just a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful:
* cancer
* rheumatoid arthritis
* high cholesterol levels
* cardiovascular disease
* infection
* impaired immune function
* acne, omg.
And drink four cups a day for the ultimate tea benefits!
Bar advice. This may not be a cure and it may not even prevent the cancer from starting up but it's always better to do something to prevent it from starting then to wait and get the news suddenly. Better warned is better armed.

Things women should know about breast cancer.
Breast cancer is a reality many women will have to deal with. Statistics show that one woman out of nine will develop breast cancer in her life. Whether it be a dear friend, a close family member or herself, every woman will be touched by breast cancer in one way or the other. Breast cancer accounts for about 30% of all cancers.
Recently my cousin and even a friend got it. My mum also died of it so I thought I'd share some stuff to people that need a plan to help themselves. Here are some tips and knowledge.
Every woman should be aware of the risk factors and change those she can to lower her risk of developing breast cancer in her life.
Women who are not active physically, smoke or consume a lot of alcohol are at higher risk to develop breast cancer.
Women who have their first child at a later age or have never given birth are at higher risk to develop breast cancer.
Women who had their first period at an earlier age (less than 12 years old) are at higher risk for breast cancer.
Woman who have close family members who had develop breast cancer are at higher risk for themselves.
Women who are older. The further a woman advances in life, the higher her probability of developing breast cancer.
Women who experience a late menopause (after 55 years old) have an increase risk of developing breast cancer.
There is hope however and certain measures have proven to help reduce the risk of developing breast cancer for a woman. It is recommended to exercise regularly, lose any excess weight, lower alcohol consumption and stop smoking. It is also proven that women who breastfeed their babies are at lower risks to develop breast cancer.
Certain measures, by finding breast cancer at an earlier stage can lower the complication rate and morbidity associated with this condition. The two most recommended measures are to do a mammogram exam every two years after the age of 50 (or earlier if a woman has risk factors) and doing a breast self-examination. It is also recommended for a woman to visit her doctor regularly. One has to know that about two thirds of breast tumours are found by the woman herself upon doing her self-examination.
Bar advice.Many organizations and industries have joined forces to push back breast cancer and one can only encourage them by donating time or money for this worthy cause. There are many researches on breast cancer conducted worldwide and it is expected that the near future will see the decline of this devastating affliction. This is not to scare you but to empower you with this info.
