Brew a pot of green tea.
Green tea contains several powerful antioxidants that lower cholesterol and perhaps even blood pressure. To make a day’s supply, bring 20 oz water to a boil, drop in three decaffeinated green tea bags, cover, and steep for 10 minutes. Remove the tea bags, and refrigerate the tea. When cool, pour the tea into a container, add ice if you like, and sip throughout the day.
