Those who reported drinking two or more cups of tea a day were 46 percent less likely to develop the disease than women who drank

20、tudy was published in Mondays Archives of Internal Medicine.“If these findings are real, theyd be important because ovarian cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in women,” said Margi Mc McCullough, a nutritional expert at the American Cancer Society.

26、 to have a positive attitude towards life, it will bring positive changes into your life and makes you happier, brighter and more successful. With a positive attitude you see the bright side of things. It is certainly a state of mind that is well worth development and strengthening. And only you can
27、 do that, no one else. Have you ever heard the expression, “Your attitude is your altitude”? Its really true. Attitude goes a long way in being successful.
