Drinking Green Tea After A Hot Stone Massage Means Drinking To Your Health
Is it possible to use all five senses actively during a massage session? The sense of touch is the most obvious one, which the massage itself of the therapist, actives. Next, the sound of relaxation music impacts the sense of hearing. The use of aromatherapy activates our sense of smell. Even the ambiance of the massage room itself can excite our visual sensory receptors. Finally, sipping a cup of lukewarm green tea can top off a wonderful hot stones massage experience.
Okay, I admit it: I am a customer service fanatic. If a company does not supply a quality product or service, I take my business elsewhere. I never make unreasonable demands, simply because, “The customer is always right.” Nevertheless, after a soothing hot stone massage that captivates the senses and de-stresses the body, a cup of green tea is a scrumptious icing on the cake. Now, more than ever, customers are looking for low prices and solid customer service. A complimentary serving of green tea helps to meet that second requirement.
What exactly is green tea? Interestingly, manufacturers use the same type of plant, Camellia sinesis, to produce green tea and other types of tea (i.e. oolong and black tea). The difference in the teas is in the process that companies use to create it. One major distinction in the making of green tea is the lack of fermentation. Skipping that step puts the “green” in green tea.
Why would green tea be particularly beneficial after a hot stone massage? The fermentation of black tea destroys several nutrients, making it less healthy than green tea. Another particular benefit of green tea is that it contains the strongest forms of polyphenols. What are polyphenols? These are a type of antioxidants, which serve in slowing down the damage that oxygen can cause. Researchers have discovered that antioxidants can help to prevent forms of various diseases, such as:
• heart disease
• neurological diseases
• cancer
How effective is green tea as an antioxidant? The answer is quite mind-boggling. The most significant active object in green tea is Epigallo Catechin Gallate (EGCG). While you should not stop eating your fruits and veggies, consider the fact that EGCG is SEVERAL times a more potent antioxidant than two other antioxidant heavyweights: Vitamin C and Vitamin E.
Furthermore, if you are on a fat-burning mission, then consider green tea. It boosts your body’s burning of calories and oxidation of fat. Thus, green tea can complement a sensible diet and exercise regimen.
The health benefits of green tea continue the health benefits that the hot stone massage itself provides. Hot stone massages can remove toxins from your body, increase your blood circulation, lower your heart rate, calm your psyche, and relax your muscles.
After a soothing and relaxing hot stone massage, green tea is a cheery that tops off the experience. While a hot stone massage can provide many health benefits, drinking green tea afterwards can further bolster your body’s defense against sickness and disease. Drink to your health!
I write for TIR Massage Stone, the leading massage stones provider. They carry all the products needed for a hot stone massage kit, as well as cold stone therapy.
