Green Tea Day

Wednesday 9 April 2008 is Green Tea Day. I know this is true, for a sign told me so. Having heard, I proceeded to ask the sign what Green Tea Day is all about, and I asked how I might celebrate. My imagination held some exciting prospects, after all, but I imagined all wrongly. Green Tea Day, the sign responded, is about longevity, for it is a celebration of longevity. What this has to do with green tea I am not sure, but it is all very disappointing. Where I had planned to have a grand festival while sipping green tea, I now must celebrate something I do not have: longevity. The reason for this is that I am full of youth, strength, and vitality. Who knows? I could die a most courageous and noble death in a duel and never attain longevity, so what reason have I to be festive? In response, I am hosting my own personal Green Tea Day on Wednesday 9 April 2008 in true celebration of Green Tea. It will be grand, and tea time shall be all day. I implore all my noble and courageous friends to join the festival, even unto fjestival, and to implore all others to do the same. It is good for the insides, after all, and studies tell us that healthy insides just might lead to longevity.

The only connection I can find between green tea and longevity is that green tea contains anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants help eliminate free radicals generated by cellular respiration. Free radicals contribute to maladies such as cancer and heart disease.

I will be sure to drink some green tea tomorrow and so join you in spirit for tea-time on green tea day.
