In the fall and winter who doesn't like drinking tea? Now a new study is saying that not only is drinking tea good for your digestive system but that drinking five cups of green tea per day may reduce the incidence of psychological distress by 20%.

This Japanese study showed that more than 450 million people suffer from stress worldwide. People all over the world are stating that mental stress is the leading cause of their overall health problems. Related mental health costs around the world are increasing at a rapid rate.
