Green Tea Benefits
The virtues of green tea have been extolled
for thousands of years in The East where people have been drinking it for its medicinal properties.
Now green tea benefits are being appreciated in the western world, making it the most popular beverage after water.
Research shows the following health benefits that drinking green tea promotes, due to its chemical make-up.
Gren tea leaves are processed with very little fermentation or oxidization.
This means that the plentiful and very rich polyphenols and catechins in tea are preserved undiluted.
It is these components of green tea that provide the antioxidants that fight free radicals, and repair damaged DNA in our bodies.
Epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) - one of these catechins, is present in high quantities in green tea.
Free radicals occur naturally in the body, but environmental toxins also give rise to these damaging particles.
Many scientists believe that free radicals contribute to the aging process as well as the development of many health problems, including cancer, and heart disease.
Antioxidants can neutralize free radicals and even repair some of the damage caused.
In traditional Chinese and Indian medicine, green tea was used as a stimulant, diuretic, astringent and to improve heart health.
Green tea is proven to be helpful in the following medical conditions:
burns body fats and assist in weight loss
helps fight cardiovascular disease and stroke
fights against infection due to viruses and bacteria
improves impaired immune response
lowers cholesterol level
prevents tooth decay
relieves stress and fatigue
prevents toxin build-up in liver
stops thrombosis- leading cause of heart attack
increases energy levels
increases mental alertness
No wonder we are experiencing a huge green tea revival!
