10 Benefits to Drinking Green Tea!
10 HEALTH BENEFITS TO DRINKING GREEN TEA!!!
Asian cultures have used green tea for medicinal purpose throughout the course of time. Recent scientific studies, though, have shown many different benefits associated with green tea. Green tea is rich in powerful antioxidants. While green, oolong, and black tea all come from the same plant, the Camellia green tea is processed differently than the other teas. The leaves are steamed. Therefore, the compound that is so helpful isn't oxidized as it is in the other teas. The only harmful effect noticed with green tea is the same kind of effect noticed with other caffeine drinks. Green tea, though, has considerable less caffeine than coffee.
Green tea offers at least ten health benefits. One health benefit green tea offers is a lowering of cholesterol because green tea has a high concentration of antioxidants. Green Tea will help your body increase your liver's LDL receptors. This helps reduce bad cholesterol in the blood, thereby lowering your total cholesterol levels. Consuming as few as five cups of green tea per day could lead to lower cholesterol. Green tea has also been known to cause remission in cancer patients. Green tea inhibits the enzyme which can help cancer cells spread throughout the body. It can decrease tumor sizes and prevent further tumor formation.
Green tea may also help prevent cancer. Because it contains the compound EGCG, the tea prevents cancer cells from growing when the compound binds with the enzyme also found in the body. Another health effect of drinking green tea is that it is able to ease the effects of rheumatoid arthritis. The antioxidants in the tea ease swelling, which in turn, helps ease the pain associated with arthritis. Green tea can also prevent heart disease. The tea not only helps lower cholesterol, as previously mentioned, but it also helps break down plaque on artery walls. This allows better blood flow, and thus, heart disease prevention. Another health benefit of drinking green tea is its ability to cure infections. The antioxidants in the tea have the ability to kill the disease causing organisms.
Green tea can also assist with impaired immune function. Polyphones and antioxidants exist in green tea. These help with the stimulation of your immune system. This can help to make you stronger and more able to fight infection. Green tea can treat acne. Because green tea has natural antioxidants and antibacterial properties, it is just as good as acne medications. Moreover, helps reduce toxins and swelling. It also reduces some of the hormone levels that are known to cause acne. For acne problems, it can either be ingested or administered directly on the skin in the form of a cream. Green tea can prevent cavities. As green tea can destroy bacteria and viruses, it inhibits the growth of cavities, which are primarily caused by these things. In the future, you may see it in toothpastes and mouthwash products. One final health benefit of green tea is that it can promote longevity. The polyphones in green tea help to fight against free radicals. This means fewer wrinkles and longer life
