We (ideally that should at least mine all of our personal training clients who have the luck to read my bon mots!) already know that green tea is a great boost for fat burning as well as being a potent anti oxidant, however new research from the Federal University of Santa Carina, Brazil, has found that 3 cups a day of green tea can help minimise the cell damage caused by resistance exercise, meaning that your muscles will recover faster after an intense workout.

Now that is what I call a good bang for your buck beverage.
