The green eyed eternal youth and health elixir

Today I will share one of my most important youth and health secrets with my readers.
Green tea is one of the most affordable products on the market, yet it is one of the most precious and valuable drinks (besides mineral water) that mankind could find.

Drinking it in tea bags is NOT using it at its maximum efficiency, so if you really want to totally benefit from its favorable effects on your health and body, you definitely ought to use grains.

Although there are so many categories for the real connoisseurs (I leave that part to the green tea experts), I do use the more common sort of green tea you can find. It is produced in China and named Gunpowder. A big box of tea will cost you around £ 1.79 whether you live in the UK (buy them from the Turkish shops, they are cheaper here) or around € 2.50 elsewhere in Europe (you will find a great range of cheap, and various green teas in Paris, for instance, near Simplon- Porte de Clignancourt, at many Arab shops: take them from here, they are cheaper and those people usually know more about tea than the average European citizen).

So why is it worth to drink green tea on a daily basis?

The first reason is that it has an incredibly good and fine taste. It will warm you during the winter and cool you up in the summer.

The other reasons are numerous.

Considering green teas’ effects on your skin, no woman should hesitate in taking green tea. Green tea is rich in antioxidants, so it combats ageing very actively. The more regularly you drink it, the better your skin condition will be. Some of you might not know, but you can use green tea on your skin. Take some luke warm green tea and apply it on your face: it will activate your skin’s natural collagen production (no need for artificial collagen injections any more).

Not only does green tea help you to keep young in your appearance, it is also a well known slimmer. If you wanna stay slim, drink your daily green tea amount, it will help balance you weight in any case.

Green tea also fortifies your bones. Its composition is so good for you that it protects you against memory losses, strokes and cardio vascular accidents.

Green tea is known for its great diuretic qualities. It will help you to protect your kidneys against bad infections.

Did I mention that green tea possesses strong anti tooth decay agents?

My advice: be a GREEN TEA TOTAL!

You won’t regret it. It will help you keep youthful looks and keep your body in shape.

Don’t follow our society’s trends, rather follow healthy habits that will do more for you than any ‘miraculous’ chemical formula.

April 2, 2008 in D12, Detroit Underground Scene | 5 comments

Global rating of the product: 4.5 stars

The light and the dark are pictured in their eternal embrace, spoken out by harp and xylophone alike sounds, a penetrating dark voice introduce From Death, a Christian Mathis alias Trick Trick CD that features Deshaun Holton at his rapping debut. What a wonderful occasion to travel through the terrific world of the Murder Capital. Like a wirlwind, a high amplitude menace hangs over Detroit, preparing its folks for a “heaven’s hammer” devastation, as the somber voice in the background suggests. Be prepared for the most murderous verbal assaults.

Thug N’ U is a rhythmic Tupac sampled track adapted to a 7 Mile style. You are going to love it!

No Trust is built on a cadenced piano background mixed up with some astute lyrics. Feel the unsecurity of the narrator who trusts no one. Jazzed up sounds definitely enhance the tracks.The musical creativity of the song needs to be strongly underlined.

Meet a young OG named Trick Trick at the murderous 7 Mile. Keyboards and drum beats will make you feel the men on the run, trying to escape from the bullets.
The repeated 7 Mile-7 Mile reeinforces the gun talk and fuck the police attitude of its inhabitants. Trick and his crew are for real, better believe it!

To Death lets the listener guess about the rough environment his ears are about to meet. Like dark shapes emerging from a foggy background, the menace is there, waiting for the right moment to break out.

From Death is beautifully enriched with some Ruthless sounds and a chronic spirit. Back from Death, back from the land of the nightmares, Trick Trick is ready to bust his enemies with his crew

RIP To My OGs is a touching ode to hip hop’s fallen soldiers.

Hooked On Cronic : ready to get stoned by Trick Trick and his partners in crime. Blaze it up, seize the irony of the lyrics, enjoy our emcees’ know how.

Follow the crazy Booty Bounce and its musically instable syllables. It is followed by a filthy minded Pass Da Pu**y. Light, distorted sounds introduce Do Dat Shit, a repetitive and richly musically structured anthem.

The Goon Sqwad track projects the listener into a surrealistic atmosphere.

Gurp On is made of amplified techno sounds. Sharp voices intensify the electronic chaos, giving an overall let loose impression. Get lost into a troubled world.If you like Detroit hip hop’s absolute darkness and sharp dimension of the rough, you are going to love the From Death CD.
