YAME ... consistent winners in the venerable GYOKURO category

June 17, 2013

June 14, 2013

Heartburn is characterized as a burning sensation in your chest or throat, and while this is a common ailment, if you experience heartburn more than two times per week, you may have a condition known as GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease. Heartburn is caused by stomach acid backing up into your esophagus, and the esophageal muscles in those with GERD do not close tightly, allowing acid to reflux. Heartburn may be controlled or triggered through foods and beverages, and while green tea is the second most common drink, research shows it may aggravate heartburn in some people while relieving heartburn in others. Active Constituents Scientists believe polyphenol compounds known as catechins provide green tea with its medicinal health benefits. Green...
